This just comes from the normal wear and tear of being a wild animal (or a captive animal that is allowed enough freedom to roam around). This is true for many animals. Wild horses do not need to get their feet filed, but if you abuse a horse by not letting it move around, the hard nail-like material will grow and grow to the point that they can't walk.

Wolves have nails (a more appropriate word would be claws) so they can grip things better. Wolves also use their claws to rip open flesh of their prey. Another way to find out why wolves have claws, is to find out what dogs have claws for.
