• Pets tend to bite or pull on their nails when the nails grow too long or has fractures in the nail
• Pets which are kept indoors may get their nails caught in the carpet
• The pet walks across linoleum flooring you can hear his feet "click" against the floor
• The pet might show signs of pain while running or jumping which is a good indication the nails are too long
• Splaying of the pet's toes caused by the nails touching down before the pads of the foot causing the toes to spread.

See the article I've written on how often to have the nails cut.
