They do. Long nails can make it difficult and uncomfortable for your dog to walk. And if left long enough, some will curl over and grow into your pet's pads, which will require surgery to correct. It's recommended that you clip your dog's nails about every month or so.

Yes, dog nails can grow to be too long. If the dog is not constantly wearing down their nails by walking constantly ( wild breeds and such would have, something that didn't evolve for those lazy pups lol ) Dog nails, if not trimmed, start to curl, which can actually cause pain when walking. So make sure they are trimmed, if not, they can actually curl into the dog's paw and cause serious amounts of pain and require surgery. BUT do NOT over cut your dogs nails, the quick is the pink part inside of a dogs nail and is sensitive, if you cut to close it will cause pain in your dogs nail.. But they are easy to spot in a nail.

If the entire nail bed was removed, it is highly unlikely that the toenail will grow back.
