🐾 How Often Do Dogs Actually Need Nail Trims?

Many people are surprised to learn that most dogs need their nails trimmed every 2–3 weeks to maintain healthy paw and joint function.

When nails get too long, they begin to touch the ground while your dog is standing or walking. This changes how the paw contacts the floor and can shift weight through the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and even the spine.

Think about how YOUR back and hips feel after wearing improper footwear for even a few hours much less all day, every day.

Every dog is a little different. Nail growth can depend on:
• Activity level
• Age
• Surfaces they walk on
• Genetics

A good rule of thumb: If you hear your dog’s nails clicking on the floor, it’s time for a trim.

Healthy movement starts from the ground up. 🐾

Walking again — just like that.

Chiropractic got another win last week with miss Sprinkles walking on her own again after a short period of paralysis!

Dog nails touching the ground? Hearing clicking as they walk through the house?

This isn’t just annoying. It’s actually incredibly harmful to your dog’s health.

When nails are too long, they force the toes to spread and the foot to shift backward. That small change alters how your dog stands, walks, runs, and turns. Over time, this compensation travels up the body — affecting the wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, and yes… even the spine.

Long nails can contribute to:
• Joint stress
• Muscle tension
• Reduced traction and stability
• Increased risk of injury (including CCL tears)
• Chronic spinal misalignment

Your dog should be able to stand comfortably with their nails NOT touching the ground. No clicking. No shifting. Just balanced, stable movement.

Healthy movement starts at the foundation — and the foundation is the feet. 🐾

If you’re unsure whether your dog’s nails are impacting their posture or spine, I’m happy to take a look at their next visit.

CCL injuries (similar to an ACL tear in humans) are one of the most common orthopedic injuries I see. While we can’t 100% prevent them, we can definitely reduce the risk!

1️⃣ Keep your dog at a healthy weight.
Extra weight = extra strain on the knees. Even a few additional pounds significantly increase stress on the CCL and accelerate joint wear over time.

2️⃣ Keep nails trimmed regularly.
If your dog’s nails touch the ground when standing or you hear clicking when they walk, they’re too long. Long nails change paw mechanics, shift weight backward, and increase tension through the knee joint.

3️⃣ Add green-lipped mussels as a joint supplement.
Green-lipped mussels are rich in omega-3s and natural joint-supporting compounds that help reduce inflammation and support cartilage health.

✨ Bonus Tip: Get your dog adjusted.
Regular chiropractic care keeps the spine and pelvis moving properly, improves biomechanics, and helps distribute weight evenly — reducing abnormal stress on the knees.

Prevention is always easier (and less expensive) than surgery.

If you have questions about your dog’s joint health, I’d love to help!

Paralyzed to purposeful steps. Healing isn’t instant. It’s intentional, consistent, and built one adjustment at a time. The nervous system is powerful — and when it’s supported, the body can do incredible things.So proud of this sweet pup and the family who didn’t give up. 💚

A little behind the scenes of what I’m seeing and helping with this week. From subtle changes in movement to bigger mobility challenges, these are the things I love supporting my patients through. ✨

02/04/2026

This is my why. 🤍

The reason I do what I do, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when I don’t have all the answers. It’s about showing up for the animals and the people who love them, trusting that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, and letting this work have the impact it was always meant to have. 🐾✨
