Why the ? 

I've never had a dog suffer with nail infection other than my old sal whippet ripped his dew claw and after that I just wrapped them before running him .

I always clean my dogs feet with warm water and salt but I've also used Dettol and I just soak dogs feet in it and this normally gets all the muck around the nails ,

I posted skycat because she wrote a book on running dog maintenance and she's  very knowledgeable when it comes to running dogs 

I'm sure you will have the cure MC and no need for vets etc ,we all come to you from now on

The dog in talking about had mail beds like foreskins haha so the brush was needed tk get it out, I don’t care what anybody says it cut for the infections by about 80% compared to jist soaking the feet, we was out 5/6 nights a week mate, selling everythin we lamped, few lads on here saw the dog an bags we had, we done what we needed to to get results an if just a soak would have worked we would have done that haha we needed the dog as part of the team so we done what was needed to keep him on his feet haha

I’ve allways used an old, soft toothbrush to clean the dogs nails. Never had a problem.

Cheers.

Agree mate. The book has come in handy for me and mates a few times. Haven’t seen any posts from her in a while. Shame really.

Why would you pay a vet £80 to cut a nail off …. You scared of close interaction with your dogs Mc ?
