Keep Your Dog’s Paws Healthy and Pain-Free

Nail care is more than cosmetic — it’s essential to your dog’s comfort and overall health. At Pet Inn Mobile Grooming, we offer gentle, professional nail trimming services right at your doorstep in Gainesville, FL. Whether your dog simply needs a routine trim or you’ve been struggling to clip their nails yourself, we’re here to help.

Our goal is to make nail care calm, safe, and stress-free for your pet — without any of the anxiety that often comes with trips to a busy salon or vet’s office.

Why Regular Nail Trimming Matters

Overgrown nails can lead to

Furniture and floor damage

Left unchecked, long nails can even affect your dog’s gait and lead to long-term orthopedic problems. That’s why we recommend trimming every 3–6 weeks, depending on breed and activity level.

A Calm, Skilled Approach to Nail Trimming

Not every dog loves having their paws handled — and that’s okay. At Pet Inn Mobile Grooming, Alyssa takes the time to help each pup feel at ease before beginning.

We never rush nail trims. Instead, we use a calm tone, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement to create a low-stress experience, especially for first-timers or dogs with anxiety.

You can trust that your pet’s safety is always our top priority. Alyssa is certified in Pet First Aid and CPR, with over a decade of grooming experience.

Nail Trimming FAQs

  • How often should I trim my dog’s nails?

    Most dogs benefit from trims every 3–6 weeks, depending on breed, activity level, and nail growth rate.

  • What happens if my dog’s nails are too long?

    Long nails can cause discomfort, affect posture, and lead to injury. If they’ve been left untrimmed for a long time, the quick may also grow out, requiring gradual trimming over several visits.

  • Is grinding better than clipping?

    Grinding can provide a smoother finish and is ideal for thick nails or dogs prone to splitting. Clipping is faster and effective for routine maintenance.

  • Can I just get a nail trim without a full groom?

    Yes — we do offer standalone nail trimming appointments for dogs within our mobile service radius, subject to availability.

  • Do you offer nail care for senior or anxious dogs?

    Yes. Alyssa is trained to handle dogs of all ages and temperaments with patience and care.
