It’s a well-known fact that both owners and pets hate that trip to the vet for a nail clipping session - the non-co-operation, the stress, the yelping and whining, the blood if the vet cuts too close, and yes, the fees! The alternative is equally painful - pets with overgrown nails can damage floors, furniture and furnishings, and perhaps even give the owner a couple of scratches.
For the pet, overgrown nails can mean pain and discomfort when walking on hard floors. For those brave enough to do the clipping at home, it’s still a nerve-racking procedure. Fortunately, pet care products now offer pet nail trimmers for dogs and cats that can take the misery out of nail trimming for both pet and owner.
Pet Care Products – Pet Nail Trimmers
Unlike traditional nail clippers that are difficult to use and blunt easily, with the risk of cutting the pet’s nail to the quick, pet nail trimmers are easy to use and make it possible for pet owners to do the nail trimming at home itself. The gadget comes with a specialized motorized nail filer that simply files away the cat’s or dog’s nails smoothly and painlessly, eliminating the risk of drawing blood or causing pain to the pet. It’s almost like giving the pet a home pedicure – with the bonus of saving on expensive veterinary fees.
It’s equally painless to use – all the user needs to do is hold up the trimmer to the dog’s paw and file away one nail at a time. The precision emery filing wheel works gently but efficiently to file away layers of the nail - leaving each nail soft, smooth and rounded. The trimmer comes with a protective cap that allows only the optimum amount of nail to be removed. The bonus – it also holds the trimmed filings, eliminating the need for cleaning up the area afterwards.
Dog Care Tips – Use Pet Nail Trimmers for a Doggy or Feline Pedicure
Equally effective for dogs and cats, pet nail trimmers are a great way to pamper a pet – and are inexpensive and easy on the owner as well. With pet nail trimmers, owners can put behind them the stress of earlier nail-clipping sessions – and discover how willingly most pets will offer their paws for their “pedicure” sessions. Some pets may not like the vibrations of the nail trimmer, though, and might need to be persuaded with some kind of promised treat after the session.
While the pet is in a co-operative mood, a thorough check of the whole paw is in order: the spaces between the nails, the underside of the paw and the spaces between the pads often hide thorns, burrs, cuts and small injuries that might save a visit to the vet if caught in time.
As owner and pet start becoming comfortable with the new routine, it’s a good idea to actually set aside a regular time and spot for the trimming – the periodicity will depend on how fast the pet’s nails grow and need to be trimmed. Pet owners can make a small ritual of the session, with a favourite treat at the end of the grooming – soon, the pet will begin looking forward to his “pedicure” sessions and enjoying it!
The option of nail trimming with pet nail trimmers makes it possible for pet owners to do away with the pain and hassle of traditional nail clipping – and pamper their pets with a painless, even enjoyable, feline or doggy pedicure.
