Does anyone have problems with their corgi's nails bleeding after running?

Hi Chrissy, Is it his nails bleeding, or his paws?? I wonder if his nails are too short. The quick will move back after clipping them...but you need to leave a little nail at the end. A lot of dogs are walked or run on pavement or the road, and that is an excellent way of keeping their nails short...I think it's great excercise for the little dude....can your brother run him on grass for a week or so, just to give his nails a chance to grow back a bit?? My corgi herds sheep and he has dragging the feet trouble once in awhile....but he does love it. Good luck!

That's weird... just the other day I noticed the nails bleeding on my corgi! My boyfriend was baby-sitting him while I was at work and he said they played a lot of fetch that day. His nails were VERY short and I haven't cut them in months. I think it's the concrete on drive-ways, gravel, and roads... When their nails drag, it cuts them down further. Our solution is to just walk him, no running or fetch on hard surfaces for at least a week and a half to two weeks. If your corgi is running on hard surfaces like that, then that's probably what's happening.

A couple of other people here have posted about their dog dragging paws and scraping the front of the claws.
