Nail Clipping & Filing

Long nails change how your dog walks and can lead to joint pain, torn nails, and damaged floors. Our quick nail trims keep your dog comfortable and your home scratch-free.

Walk-In Nails, No Appointment Needed

We set aside specific walk-in nail hours so you can swing by without booking a full groom — perfect for busy St. Louis families. Our groomers are calm and patient, even with dogs who are nervous about their paws. If your dog has had a bad nail experience elsewhere, let us know; we take our time.

Why Nail Length Matters More Than You Think

When nails touch the ground, they push the toes upward and alter the angle of the foot, which strains the joints over time. Regular clipping keeps the quick short and the paw healthy. For dark nails where the quick is hard to see, our experience makes all the difference.
