I just don't want his nails to get caught on something and he get hurt or expose the quick too much and hurt him... and of course my groomer is on vacation out of the country. Go figure! lol |
I don't think the food needs to be the best to be adequate, are there any other symptoms, it sounds like your doing everything right. Sometimes a low thyroid can cause brittle nails on humans, I wonder if it would do the same in dogs? It might be something to ask the vet about, if you just treat a symptom, you don't get to the underlying problem.
