With winter upon us we need make sure that we go the extra mile to protect our dog’s feet throughout the cold months. While extra blankets for bedding, and sweaters and jackets for small or short/no haired dogs is second nature to most dog owners, protection your dogs feet tends to be forgotten about. Dog grooming should start with a toe nail clipping even if that is all you do.
If your dog will allow them, consider foot protection booties. With well groomed nails this can keep your dog’s feet safe from harm, such as dangerous objects hidden by the snow or salt on roads and walk ways. Additionally, booties can help give your dog a better grip and prevent slipping on ice.
Pet grooming is crucial during the winter months. Your dogs nails can become even more brittle and splintered due to the extreme temperatures, so keeping them cleaned up will ensure a healthy winter for your dog.

Dog Nail Grinding Options
We all know that cutting your dogs nails is not the best option when it comes to dog grooming. Issues with cutting the quick and the pain that goes along with that potential hazard has lead us to a more appropriate way, grinding. But there are still options when it comes to grinding. Here are a few bad ones, and a good.
Listen up all Sally’s shoppers; nail files for humans are not meant to be used on dogs. They are not durable enough, and not the correct shape to efficiently grind down a dogs nail. Even the metal “diamond” files will not do the trick. And god forbid you go to such lengths as using duct tape and sand paper. You laugh, but people do it!
A Dremel tool has been the standard for professional and at-home pet grooming for years. The tool is just short of being a perfect fit. It grinds the nails, quickly, safely, and efficiently (one rotary head can last for years). However the one area that the Dremel falls short in is the exposed rotary. Don’t forget that this tool was originally created to grind and cut down nails, screws, woodwork, etc. In order to make it a safe product for dog nail grinding you need a safety guard attached to the rotary end of the product, similar to that of the Peticure. This allows only the dogs nails to enter the rotary chamber and nothing else.
