Dog's and nail polish ?

Is it safe to polish your dogs nail?

Answer
Yes, any polish will work but the quick dry or one coat type are easiest and fastet to use. Non acetone polish remover to take it off and wash the feet well after taking it off. The only thing special about groomers dog polish is its quick dry one coat which you can get for humans too. If hair is long around nails you may want to trim it back with scissors, obviously blow on the polish to dry and dont let the dog have the foot back until it is dry.

As a groomer at a vets office we often used normal quick dry one coat polish if we needed a color we were out of until we reordered because all of our orders had minimum product # limits.

A lot of breeders use it to mark pups, groomers apply it routinely on groomed female dogs.

ADDED
Use a little logic, nail polish is toxic if you eat or drink it and on that list, thousands of human babies get nails polished. If its safe for a human baby why wouldnt it be for a dog.

How can I clean nail polish off carpeting?

mikvegas50

Dog decided to try to do his nails, came home bottle of nail polish spilled on carpet. It's in three spots. Short of tearing up carpeting and replacing, would like to know if it can be cleaned with any cleaning agents.

Answer
100% pure acetone should work. Buy 3-5 bottles pour quite bit on the spot and dab it up(repeat as needed). It might take some time but eventually it will come up(depending on type of carpet). My son did the same to our living room carpet. I tried nail polish remover which after 20 min of scrubbing got 60% out. Then I tried the acetone(It is with the nail polish remover. Its just stronger and has no nail conditioner) it came right up in 5 min of blotting. Be careful this stuff will take the paint off your furniture. You may need to shampoo after for the smell.I cant even tell where the spot was on my carpet.It worked great.

How do I loosen up thick nail polish?

nail polish for dogs image

Rachel

I bought some nail polish for my dogs that arrived in the mail today, and 2 of the 4 colors are thick. They're not horribly goopy, but seeing as how dog nail polish is supposed to dry fast, this may be a problem. Before contacting the seller to get an exchange, is there anything I can try to loosen it up to make it a bit runnier?

Answer
Add some alcohol 90, not polish remover because the texture of the nail polish might become very dull, lose its shine.
Don't do it too much by the way and add it little by little.

What if my dog licks human nail polish off her nails? Is it toxic?

Answer
first of all. GET IT OFF. you need to just let it dry and then scrape it off, DON'T USE NAIL POLISH REMOVER. it is even more toxic. hold up her head while it dries. don't let her lick it. Please don't do it again, would you put it on a baby who sucks its thumb?

My dog got nail polish all on her front left leg what should I do?

Bobby

The other night my mom dropped and broke her nail polish and I thought she cleaned it good but I guess not because this morning when I woke up I saw the nail polish all on my dogs leg. How can I take it off? will nail polish harm her skin? shes a lab mixed.

Answer
Don't use nail polish remover to get it off. Maybe cut the fur that it got on or use baby shampoo and get it off. I don't think it would hurt her skin, though, but I've never been in this situation.

Good luck with your baby!

How can I get nail polish off of my dog without hurting her? (read description)?

Ally

My step dad put pink nail polish on all of my dog's nails without realizing that it could be harmful, especially because my dog bites her nails sometimes. I read that it could be toxic to an animal and I wanted to get it off as soon as possible. I also read that nail polish remover is even worse for a dog to be around. I have no idea what to do.. Thanks!

Answer
Whomever told you that nail polish remover is dangerous for dogs to be around is an idiot. Just remove the nail polish from your dog's paws and wash the dog. Problem solved. Have a talk with your father, it's not funny.
