How Often Should Dogs Get Nail Trims?

Nail trims are one of the most overlooked parts of dog care—and one of the most important.

The Ideal Nail Trim Schedule

Most dogs need a nail trim every 3–5 weeks, depending on:

  • Activity level

  • Surface they walk on

  • Nail growth rate

Waiting too long allows the quick to grow, making trims more uncomfortable.

Signs Your Dog’s Nails Are Too Long

  • Clicking sounds on hard floors

  • Nails curling sideways

  • Slipping while walking

These are signs it’s time for a trim.
