If you own a pet, you know that your pet’s toenails continue to grow all the time. Often when you take your pet to the vet they will trim the nails for you. Toe nails should be trimmed every few months so your pet does not get his nails caught on anything. A cat could even have a nail grow so long that it grows into the pad of his or her foot.
Trimming toenails on your pet is not that difficult if you do it on a regular basis. Your pet will get used to it. You will want to use the right size nail trimmer for the right size pet. If you have a cat, or a small dog, use the small size nail trimmer made for small nails. Use a medium trimmer for medium nails, and a large trimmer for large nails.
Do not use human nail clippers. These can crush the rounded toe nail.
If you want you can get one of the electric nail trimmers. Some, like the Pedi Paws, are battery powered. These work pretty well too.
Some good nail trimmers are:
