Good point Debra. Here's a 5 step program I'm gonna follow.
Toenail care
Here's our five-step Buffers Guide.
Step one
Wash feet with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a clean towel. Using a cotton ball dipped in tea tree oil (or a mild antiseptic) gently swap around your manky toenails to annihilate bacteria responsible for nasty niffs.
Step two
Deal with dodgy cuticles by dipping a cotton bud in olive oil and gently massaging until they're soft enough for you to push back into place.
Step three
Only use toenail clippers or nail scissors for cutting. Fingernail clippers are designed for smaller nails, and you risk taking 'bites' out of each nail, rather than trimming each one squarely. A square cut is recommended as it reduces the risk of ingrown nails, and don't cut the nail so far back that it exposes the skin underneath (or you'll be hobbling for days)
Step four
Don't ignore toenails that are green/black/discoloured or crumbly/thickened and warped beyond recognition - because it's usually a sign of a fungal infection. If left to fester, some infections can spread to other nails and even cause damage to the toe bones. See your GP for treatment, and help yourself while you wait for the appointment by soaking feet in warm salty water.
Step five
Wear fresh, cotton socks and be sure your footwear is fitted properly. That way you can kick it all off without fear of causing offence or distress.

When you call to set up the appointment, make sure the manicurist has a chisel and a sharp knife in her tool kit.

No need to worry. Bear's goin to the zoo to get a pedicure.
you could just go to the Vet and get de-clawed.
Don't think that Squinney hasn't considered it people
In some cultures, huge disgusting toenails are considered beautiful.
Actually I made that up. But people are always saying **** like that, aren't they?
See, Bear, if you lived in Austin you could go here:

If I'd wanted to post pictures of my feet, I'd've done it myself!
Too late to protest, DrewDad. The concerned citizens for the development of healthy toenails through proper care already posted pictures of your toenails all over the internet in their campaign against toenail neglect. Sorry.
You're depriving all of those poor fungi of a safe and hospitable environment.
