Dog nail polish????

I don't quite understand that myself. I mean I guess it looks cute but its hard enough getting my dogs to sit still to cut their nails. I can't imagine trying to paint them.

I have no idea -- mind you, I could never grasp the concept of dressing dogs up either -- or any pets for that matter -- isn't that just cruel? I mean, I know you might love your pets and appreciate them, but when you get to the point of getting them £2,500 outfits, you really need to learn to let go a little -- right? Having said that, people can enjoy themselves however they want -- each to his/her own, right?

I`ve never seen dog nail polish but I`ve sure they have it. I wouldn`t want to polish their nails. besides my dogs would have a fit. lol. I don`t put sweaters or shirts on them either. we did see some funny dog shirts at target today though. one said "I poop you scoop" and another one said "I`m with stupid" haha! I thought they were so funny.

I would like to have nothing better to do with my time than to paint my pets nails. And if I didn't have the time, I would like to make enough money to send my pets to be groomed and pampered. I particularly think it is foolish. But, would I feel the same if I had funds to squander away, I don't know.

Well I have never done that to any of my Dogs and my little Fellow now won't ven let me trim his Hairs round his Paws so somehow I can't imagine him letting me polish his Nails lol I don't know why People do it and I don't think it is good for the Dog either

I have always wondered this too. I worked as a groomer for a summer and I was shocked at how many people came in with the polish they wanted applied. My job was to wash the animals and the owner clipped them, dried them and fluffed them. Everytime someone came in with the nail polish I was given that job. I felt redicules doing this and the dogs always acted ashamed. LOL I think it was always a poodle I had to do and I even asked one lady why she did this to her poor sweet pooch. She said because her dog had to have polish if she got a haircut. It was pampering thing. A lot of people treat their animals like their own, so I guess this may be why.

I actually did not know that people put polish on their dogs claws, bows and hair colour yes, but not polish! Well this amazes me as I cannot see my dog sitting long enough to have this done! He would think I had lost the plot totally. lol

I never quite understood that one. I guess though that it is becoming more and more popular among dog owners. My daughter used to do it to my dog, when she was younger. I always made her take it off. I don't think the polish we use is safe for animals. I assume the folks that do paint their dogs nails think it is cute and do it because it is the latest trend in "doggie fashion". As for me, I will just leave my dogs as they are...unpolished.

I have no idea lol. I would imagine it's an extention of their feeling their dog is their "baby". I think my kids did that to one of my dogs when the kids were younger lol. Had a dress on her too, poor thing :)

I painted my dog's nails once. And it was because I and my daughters were painting our nails and KC was just laying there all innocent. LOL I got bored...and POOF!!! I decided to paint her nails too! But I do not see me doing it again. It actually took longer than I thought to wear off and it is really hard to see where to cut the nail when there is polish blocking the view of the vein.

Ya some dog nails are painted I have seen. It looks good and beautiful on it.

That's something I've pondered myself..lol I admit I will put a sweater or coat on my dog. I believe he enjoys it. I only put something on him if its cold. He has worn halloween costumes. But why on earth would you want to paint your dos nails? I just don't know. I understand people treat dogss as kids sometimes. But I wouldn't paint my kids nails, unless they asked. I don't know why some people dye their dogs hair either..lol

You are joking right?? I have never heard of such a thing. The only reason I can think of right off hand would be if the animal had some type nail deficiency that require you put on a protective, nourishment coat or something like that. If not for the above reason, I think it is a silly idea and I personally would not want my Dog to be the laughingstock of the neighborhood ;) -- Seriously, I wonder if covering their nails could cause medical concerns for them -- let alone the psychology repercussions could cost you big bucks! Ok sorry I couldn't resist the last remark :)

I painted my dad's dog's nails because I thought it would be funny to have my dad's dog's nails match her collar. But, I don't know why people do it normally?? I guess because they like it??

Honestly, I have never heard of dogs getting their nails painted, you half to be kidding, you mean people actually do this with their dogs.

I guess painting their own nails is no more an exciting past time for them so they spend it on their dogs

beats me! i have seen some with hair ribbons too! i know thts surprising! why do people want their dogs to look pretty using human accessoried........

I can only hazard a guess! People become so close to their animals that the animal takes on the same persona as to be a member of the person's family. They see the animal no differently than a child, a spouce, a siter or brother etc. In this light, I honestly think that they see painting the dog's nails as adding to the animal's personality! Kind of like when I used to visit my grandmother in the nursing home. She was ill with Alzheimers and didn't even realize who I was. However, I would give her a manicure and paint her nails. She had enjoyed this when she was younger and in her right mind, and I knew she would have enjoyed it had she understood! Back to the dogs, I just feel that they are doing something loving for the animal that to them, has taken on human traits in terms of compainionship!

i have no idea about this

I don't know why anyone would want to, surely the dog would look ridiculous and it would be so much hassle in the first place?
