Torn claw

Hi. My lovely dog tore one of her front paw claws this morning (think she caught it on the throw while excitedly getting off the bed). I'm looking for advise what we should do as we haven't had this before and the internet gives conflicting advise. I don't want to call the vets for advise as they are the sort that tell you to come in regardless. I think we should get her checked at the vets but my husband says just keep an eye on it for now and see how it heals. I have bandaged it for now, it's stopped bleeding and she's hobbling around but her usual self overall. Anyone have experience of what's best to do please?

Depends where the tear is and which toe.
I've bandaged a dew claw with Animalintex ( after cleaning with salt water). The quick recedes for a quick snip of the nail a couple of days later, but myy dog wasn't "hobbling around".
If it's a weight-bearing toe it'll be different...
