Why This Matters

Paws and nails affect comfort on walks, traction at home and confidence during movement.

How To Apply This At Home

  • Check pads after outdoor activity.
  • Trim nails gradually.
  • Watch paw fur and debris.

What To Watch For

Watch for limping, licking, cracked pads, broken nails or heat-related paw soreness.

When To Get Extra Support

Odor, discharge, redness, pain, lumps or repeated scratching should be checked by a veterinarian.
