All right, let's look at the agenda.
0:01
One, help with split nails. Two, common
0:05
nail problems. Three, tips for healthy
0:08
nails. Four, when to see the vet. And
0:11
five, teaching dog nail care.
0:14
Section one, help with split nails.
0:17
Okay, so what actually is a split dog
0:20
nail and how do you even check for it?
0:22
Well, you really need to get in there
0:23
and look closely at your dog's paw.
0:25
Basically, a split happens when the nail
0:27
takes some damage or cracks. Maybe from
0:29
a rough landing, crazy scratching, or
0:31
just a health hiccup. You're looking for
0:33
a visible crack. Is it just a tiny chip
0:35
at the tip or does it run all the way
0:37
down to the base? Is it actively
0:39
bleeding? Is your buddy pulling their
0:40
paw away because it hurts? Figuring out
0:42
the severity of the situation is your
0:44
absolute first step here.
0:46
Now, if the damage is minor, take a deep
0:47
breath. You've got this. Project calm
0:50
authority and follow these first aid
