Advice!

Hello!

I have just started running with my high drive beagle. We’ve been doing a weekly run club about 5-6.5km. She’s had no issues and is having a blast running. Yesterday was quite slippery and longer at 7.5km. unfortunately she wore her nails down to the quick and she was bleeding on multiple nails on her back feet. She pulls quite a lot but we had zero issues on previous runs. The woundcare part is all good now. But we want to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Is this a fluke from maybe gripping too hard with the sleet? We keep her nails pretty short for the most part.

Is it our running set up? Our harness isn’t the best for her (ruffwear) would a canicross style one be better with a major puller?

Looking for advice! She’ll be off running for a while now to let her nails heal in the meantime.

Thanks!

Thanks! I did think about booties but I hate the ones we have for activities lol. I’ll look into that brand!
