Some dogs often run and exercise on rough ground, sandy land or concrete ground. Toenails often touch such ground will naturally wear out, which will save parents from worrying about repairs. Some small dogs spend most of their time indoors, and the indoors are basically smooth tiles and floors, making it difficult to have the opportunity to polish their claws. Therefore, the living environment of dogs is different, and the care methods are also a bit different.
