Teddy's nails are curled and they are trimmed regularly. Barney and Daisy have short nails that never need trimming because they wear them down on my stone patio and my tile floor. Teddy for some reason, due to the anatomical positioning of his paw (more rounded than B&D) tends to have curled nails and as a result, they never wear down on their own and need trimming. If I think I need them trimmed more than I can do without feeling like I might hit a bleeder, I have the vet do it and even short they look curled to me.

I have not tried a grinder because my dogs are scared of the noise but I have used a file with good results to take the nails down short.

I hate nails and nail trimming.
