My 3 yr old Rat Terrier chews on her front paw nails. She chews them down so much I don't really need to get them clipped. She's done it since she was a puppy. Possibly she does it since she hates to get her nails clipped and this way she does it herself. Do anybody else's dogs chew on their nails?
no,,, Gee,, thats a new one to me!! Guess it saves you on nail trimming bills!!!:D
But if you can ever remember how you taught your dog that, I believe quite a few of us would be interested! :D
I wish I knew so I could help you all out, I have no clue where she got it from.
My Millie does this all the time, but only on her back nails so I still have to trim her front nails. Sometimes when she does it, she seems like she ripping them out, she pulls so hard. :rolleyes:
Tito does it on his "extra" toes (I can't remember the name for the extra toe on the hind paws). I usually don't let him because I am scared he wil chew too much off.
On a side note, he HATES having his nails clipped or anyone touching his paws. He starts screaming!!! It's the strangest noise I have ever heard come from a dog. :eek:
