Do dogs nails grow back?

  • In most cases, a lost nail will grow back over a few months. Aside from seeing your dog pull out the nail or finding it on the floor, other signs that suggest your dog has torn out his nail are a trail of blood spots when he walks or the act of incessantly licking his paw. Because the nail contains nerves, he is likely to be in pain.

A. Fortunately, nails will grow back after they break off, just as they do in humans.

But a fractured nail can be painful, so if your Jack Russell is limping around, he would probably benefit from some pain medication.

After three days or so, remove the bandage so the new nail can start growing in.
