* Their nails are crucial for traction and balance. Cutting them too short can cause pain, bleeding, and even infection.
* Their pads are naturally tough and provide protection. Cutting them would expose sensitive skin and make them vulnerable to injury.
If you are concerned about your golden retriever's nails or pads, it's best to consult a veterinarian or a professional groomer. They can safely trim your dog's nails and provide any necessary care for their pads.
Remember, always prioritize your dog's health and well-being.
