How do you get it to recede? |
The nails should be short enough so when they walk they don't touch the ground. It can cause the feet/toes to spread out I believe. Anyway, Uni's still touch a bit. I trim a tiny bit every week, and each time you trim the quick goes back a little, don't ask me how it just does.

Also I've found that on weeks we go for a long walk or run around outside that the concrete kind of files her nails a bit too. Don't know if that's good or bad, but they do end up a bit shorter afterwards.
