Dry Splitting Nails
« on: April 22, 2010, 01:39:53 PM »
My Samantha's nails are horrible looking- the groomer cuts and files them but they appear to be splitting and very dry.  Does anyone have any ideas of what to do for this?

If the nails are cracking into the nail bed, causing pain, and/or are always deformed looking, you may have a medical issue - an infection, ringworm, allergies....something like that. You would want to see the vet about that.

If the nails are just dry and crack a bit after a nail trim, I would recommend giving your dog a fish oil (omega 3 fatty acid) pill each day.
