If he gets walked on different surfaces he shouldn't need them clipping. Length is not really an issue, unless they are not getting worn down like his dew claws.

He's not been getting his usual long walks because of how wet it's been in Scotland this winter.

Street walking will sort him.

So you don't recommend clipping his nails then?

Unless they are like his dew claws. I've never clipped a dogs nails, only the tips of the dew claw.

Walking your pooch on a pavement will sort them out. Ive never clipped his nails and he sorts his own dew claw out anyway.

i've never ever clipped my dog's nails - only did the very end of a really sharp dew claw once when it actually stabbed my hand.
