CAT Nail Clippers

Gently restrain your cat in a position that they find comfortable - on your lap, in your arms or standing with one leg held up at a time. It’s usually best to do this after your cat has eaten a meal and when they are relaxed. Some cats may enjoy a distraction like a Lick Mat with their favourite food. Hold your cat’s paw gently in one hand and carefully extend one nail. With the clippers in your other hand, insert the tip of the nail into the hole and clip in one swift motion. Repeat for remaining nails including the dew claws. Remember to keep the experience positive and take it slow, especially for reluctant cats. Ensure your cat has regular access to a scratching post to help them maintain their nail health.

When used as directed, it is unlikely that these clippers will cause the nail to bleed. If the nail does bleed, wrap the foot in gauze or a towel and apply pressure to the affected toe. If after 5-10 minutes the nail is still bleeding, try dipping the nail in baking powder or flour. If the bleeding continues, please contact your vet promptly.
