Nail Files for Pets

Pet grooming is an important part of being a pet owner. Taking care of the nails of your pet not only makes the pet presentable but also prevents dangers of the pet hurting itself or the people around it. The nails should not be too long as they could cause damage or too short as that could hurt the nail cuticles of the pet. There are different kinds of nail files and clippers available in the markets with varieties depending on kinds and sizes of the pet. They are available in manual and battery-operated varieties with different price ranges.

  1. Basic Long Nail File

    • The most basic nail file is long and metallic with a rounded end to protect the pet from getting hurt. It is similar to a nail file used by humans and is worked also the same way. It is available in different colors, with rubber grips and different sizes, depending on the pet.

    Nail Boards

    • Commonly used for cats, scratching posts and emery nail boards are available as a playing toy for cats. The emery surface of the board or scratching post acts as a nail file and trimmer when scratched on by the pet. It has a strong board to support the weight of the pet.

    Electric Nail File

    • An electric nail file is a battery-operated nail file. It is a quick and pain-free way for nail trimming pets as some pets may be fidgety and cannot be held still for too long, which increases chances of injury. An electric nail file comes with various adjustments and fittings depending on the pet. It also has multiple fittings for clipping, trimming and filing of the nails, leaving them smooth and shiny.

    Styptic Pedicure Set

    • Pedicure sets with three three fittings are available in the market as well. A stainless steel blade to effectively clip the nails, a trimmer to file and trim the nail to remove any sharp or jagged ends and a special styptic powder dispenser for quick remedy if the nail starts to bleed.
