do dogs paws grow as they do?

or do they stay the same size?

Update:

edit: well I thought so! but i've seen some puppies with some pretty big paws.... we just got a husky/akita mix and his paws are tiny, so we were thinking maybe he would be small... guess that was a stupid thought :D lol

    they usually grow faster than the puppys body so puppys who are going to be big dogs usually their paws grow when their about 10 weeks old and their paws get BIG!!!!

    Yes they do. Usually as puppies the size of their paws show how big the dog will get. If the dog's paws are big and the dog is small then the dog will be big. The dog will catch up with it's paws. Hope this helps!

    That would be funny if my Great Danes had puppy paws! Eh,heee....

    Yes the paws grow to accomodate the dogs size. And so does their appetite. Ask my Danes, they are hungry all the time. But well fed.

    clip the nail in basic terms were it is starting to be in. yet go away room for slightly part to adhere out gently pull generally slowly, with slightly of success it is going to come out. If it does take an anti-bacterial wipe for dogs and then placed a bandage on it. at the same time as your canines is going outdoors placed a sock over the paw to stop any an infection, stay away from moist parts. If it does get contaminated see your vet. also,in case you could't restore it your self you want to get the money to pass to the vet and get it fastened,or once you've an experienced relatives chum,ask them. to stay away from that occurring back,clip the canines's nails earlier letting a relatives chum preserve her or clip them extra generally to stay away from the nails starting to be into the paw. in basic terms attempt to stay away from it back because this concern will be a case of overlook. yet when the claw is amazingly,very deep into the paw then all you should do it visit a vet to get help,if the nail is starting to be in plenty then you definitely can finally end up causing extra soreness and damage on your canines,a vet is the in effortless words efficient determination to a seriously ingrown nail. desire you could help your canines,good success!

    It would look pretty silly if a Great Dane had tiny puppy paws!

    They would have to grow, or else the dog wouldn't be able to walk.
