Poor Max! Apply cornstarch to the broken end. Be careful as broken nails can hurt and dogs may bite due to pain. Depending on how the nail is broken, Max may need to see his veterinarian today as these sometimes need to be removed. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
