My dog broke his nail. Can a dog's broken nail heal on its own?
1 Answer
A dog's broken nail can heal on it's own; however, the broken nail exposes them to infectious environmental organisms (i.e. bacteria) which can prolong or prevent the healing process. Bringing your dog in to see their primary care doctor to see if antibiotics or other steps to promote a successful recovery is recommended.
