Trivia Answer
Here are some tips for how often to trim a German Shepherd's nails:
Most experts recommend trimming a German Shepherd's nails every 4-6 weeks. Their nails tend to grow quickly.
You should trim when you can hear the nails clicking on the floor as they walk. This indicates the nails have gotten too long.
Check the nails regularly by pressing on the paw pads. If the nails extend past the pads, it's time for a trim.
Puppies may need their nails trimmed more frequently, like every 2-3 weeks, as their nails grow very fast when young.
Adult dogs who get more activity on concrete may need less frequent trims since the nails will wear down more naturally.
Senior dogs with less activity may need more frequent trims every 3-4 weeks.
The key is to check the length regularly and trim whenever the nails are starting to curl under or click on surfaces. Keeping them trimmed prevents splitting, cracking and overgrowth issues.
