Right now his nails are super long! He has never been fond of a nail trim, but after he got a persistent interdigital cyst on one of his front paws, his anxiety related to nail trims is off the charts. We actually have to give him some anti anxiety medicine and take him to the vet to get it done monthly. So right before our visit, they get long.
Regardless of the reason, you should never let his nails get that long!
Overgrown nails can easily break which will be very painful, and can also cause difficulty with walking and potentially contribute to the development of arthritis.
If your dog's nails actually grow that length in just one month (seems unlikely), you need to take him to a vet, or professional groomer more often.

Thanks for the rant. Rebel and I have been getting on wonderfully for nearly 10 years. I will continue to collaborate with my vet and do what I feel is best for his overall quality of life. For now, that will remain monthly nail trims at the vet with mild sedation.
