What can I put on my dogs toe nails to prevent them from wearing down?

I just moved into a home and the entire backyard is cement. My dog loves to fetch a ball and love to run around the pool when the kids are swimming. But because he runs around so much he is having a problem with his toe nails wearing down to the point where they start to bleed. Is there something I can put on his nails to make them stronger. I don't want to keep him locked up when everyone is having fun, but I also don't want his poor little nails to bleed. Any thoughts!What can I put on my dogs toe nails to prevent them from wearing down?
You can get Soft Paws at most pet stores. They glue on the the nails. They some in different sizes and colors.What can I put on my dogs toe nails to prevent them from wearing down?
you could try the soft paws nail caps.. they do make them for dogs also! The caps may wear down on the cement as well tho.. seeing as how they are just a soft plastic.





Maybe you can find some kind of rubber mats, or that outdoor carpeting to put on the cement to help cushion things a little.
Soft Paws are great!





Also, try the new Peticure Dog Nail Trimmer (get yours on Ebay because if you order from the main site it will take 4 - 8 weeks to come in!) - the nail trimmer actually *files* down the nails quickly, painlessly, safely and quietly - with a rotating emery board of sorts!





You'll actually need to trim your dog's nails first before applying the Soft Paws - so this is a fabulous investment as well!





Something else you may want to consider - have you ever been to a health club or children's play center and noticed that the floor was covered in rubber puzzle piece shaped mats? We have those in our home gym (garage) and they are WONDERFUL! Easy to put down, take up, clean and are weatherproof. They come in different sizes, widths, textures and colors and you can use them indoor or out. They really aren't that expensive when compared to the damage put on your dog's paws and nails! You can try Ebay (where we got ours) or possibly a sporting goods store. Sometimes they may even be listed under wrestling mats.





Hope this helps!





Warmly,
