How often do you get your dogs nails trimmed? (lemmy.world)

Just curious what the lemmy hive mind has to say. I recently rescued a 6 mos year old puppy and his nails were trimmed down proper. It’s been 2 weeks now and I can noticeably hear them clanking on the floor but still look pretty darn short to me.

My last dogs I had I didn’t quite keep their nails that short but I probably should have.

So far never, for 11 years.

They just wear down by themselves from walking I guess. Is this not normal? I’m really surprised to not see this as the top answer.

Depends on the dog. My littlest one is too light to wear his nails down by walking alone.
