How Can Brittle Toe Nail Be Treated?
My 5 yr old Aussie has had several episodes of torn toe nails. It happens when i kick the ball for him in the back yard. I have him on Acana dog food NuPro supplement, coconut oil, vitE and gelatin. He was okay for 2 months then tore another nail. I use a dremel on his nails. Is there anything I m overlooking?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to internal factor
-Then it will be mostly get corrected with BIOTIN, B COMPLEX, IRON supplements and application of any moisturiser like epigen to nails
Best to consult dermatologist for examination
some external factor like working with some chemicals by hand, applying any cosmetic product to nails, frequent wetting of either hands or toes may be for washing dishes or swimming which may affect both fingers and toes
Hope this may help you
Best regards
