The vet may need to sedate the dog to remedy the nail injury, which would otherwise cause a lot of pain. In addition, bacterial or fungal infections in a dog's nails or paws may be a symptom of serious disease or malnourishment. Treating the disease, in addition to feeding him a well-balanced diet, will help a dog's nails grow long and strong.

For damaged, cracked, broken, or split nails, complete regrowth from the root should happen within few months, the time (duration) and the process of regeneration could be determined or may vary among dogs, bread, age, and other health factors.

Assuming your dog is relatively young, healthy, and has a good plan of care from owner and vet, and your dog doesn't keep making the injury worse by chewing on it, nail regrowth can take up to 6 or 7 weeks. You can help stop continuous bleeding by applying Styptic Powder at the end of your dog's nail.

In most situations, a lost nail will grow back after a few months. If your dog does pull the entire nail out, apply pressure to stop bleeding. It is best to have your vet check the paw in this situation as your dog may need antibiotics to prevent infection as the nail regrows.

It may take up to several weeks before the new nail begins to grow. If the nail root or surrounding tissue was severely damaged when the nail was pulled out, regrowth may be compromised, or a replacement nail may not grow at all. If regrowth is compromised, the nail may regrow in a irregular manner, requiring more frequent and adjusted trimmings. If your dog's nail does not appear to be growing back or is coming in irregularly, consult your veterinarian.

Fortunately, dog toenails usually regrow within 8 weeks but in severe instances, the toenail might need to be removed by a vet which costs up to $300. To make sure your dog quickly recovers, you should regularly change bandages and give meds as prescribed.

Even with broken nails, good nail regrowth occurs in most cases with complete regeneration being common. If you suspect your dog has issues with their nails, your dog may need to see your family veterinarian or a veterinary dermatologist, as nails are one of many things that a pet dermatologist specializes in diagnosing and treating.

Fish oil is a bit of miracle in both humans and dogs. The omega fatty acids in fish oil not only make the skin, hair, and heart healthier, they also promote stronger nails. Fish oil is incredibly safe to administer, but youll want to ask your vet about proper dosage, as too much can lead to loose, oily, and disgustingly stinky stool. 3.
