Treatment methods for dog nail injuries:

1. First check whether there is any foreign matter remaining in the wound, observe the shape of the nail break, and formulate a treatment policy.

2. If part of the nail falls off and the other part is still there, and it is difficult to deal with it, it is best to go to the pet hospital.

3. When a dog is injured, it will lick and clean the wound by itself. It is best to trap it with an Elizabethan trap to avoid accidentally ingesting medicines.

Causes of broken dog nails:

1. Most of the cracked dog nails are caused by calcium and vitamin B deficiency. Dog nails are composed of keratin. Yes, if the nutrition is not balanced, then nails are prone to various problems.

2. In addition to licking their hands crazily, dogs’ nails will also become brittle and prone to breakage due to fungus destroying the foundation of the nail bed.

3. Dog nails are just like human nails. The nails will slowly grow longer over time, and when the nails grow to a certain extent, they will easily break.
