Claw care
Everything you need for cat nail care to keep your feline’s paws healthy
Cat nail care is part of regular grooming and supports your feline friend’s well-being. Cats use their claws for climbing, playing, marking territory and gripping surfaces. Whilst many cats maintain their claws independently using scratching posts, scratching boards or scratching mats, additional trimming or monitoring of the claws may be advisable depending on the cat.
Why claw care is important
Overgrown claws can get caught, grow in or interfere with walking. Indoor cats, older cats or less active animals in particular sometimes do not wear their claws down sufficiently. Regular checks help to detect changes early and keep their paws well-groomed.
Suitable products for cat nail care
Specialised claw clippers, claw nippers or files designed for small animal claws are suitable for cat claw care. It is important to use a clean, sharp tool to prevent the claw from splitting. Always cut only the pale tip of the claw and avoid the sensitive, blood-rich area.
Make claw care stress-free
Get your cat used to having its paws touched gradually and choose a quiet moment. Short grooming sessions, gentle praise and patience help to make nail care more pleasant. If you are unsure, or if your cat has dark claws or is very restless, we recommend seeking assistance from a specialist or a veterinary practice.
