Pet Supplies: Cat Nail Care Issues

Whilst many active cats will wear down their nails through regular activity, some animals will not do this and require cat grooming pet supplies to meet the task. If the nails grow too long, it can cause problems for some pet cats.

In general, overgrown nails can split and can also become caught on objects as the animal walks or climbs, leading to tearing off of the nail. The dew claw can, in many cases, overgrow and become ingrown into the animal's foot pad. This is very painful and can lead to infection. Your best sofa or trousers will need protection from overgrown claws, and you'll need protection from a cat in pain!

In pets which require it, owners should consider clipping the nails regularly - a bit of cat grooming and pampering has never hurt any puss, though they may indeed protest. Consider a cat treat or cat toy to distract while grooming your cat. Owners of cats should be aware of the use of the animal's nails as a self-defence mechanism before clipping the nails too short.

Pet Supplies: Nail Clippers

Pet grooming products such as cat and dog nail clippers are readily available from pet supplies online stores and can give a clean cut across the nail.

If the nail does bleed after cutting with pet supplies grooming clippers, the application of Styptic powder can help control minor bleeding.

And what better way to show off your pet's newly fashioned nails than with a quick coat of pet nail polish!
