Best Pet Supplies

Pedicures for humans are totally underrated—I think everyone should have at least one.  (You don’t have to have your nails painted!)   But almost all dogs and cats need their claws trimmed regularly to prevent not only damage to your furniture and household in general, but prevent splitting, cracking, or ingrown claws.  Bassett hounds and Dachshunds are particularly notorious for needing a bit of help keeping their nails at a reasonable length.  Some animals that walk on hard surfaces or cats that use scratching posts frequently shed their claws naturally, but–on cats, especially–check those back claws every so often.

It is a good idea to have a vet or vet tech show you where the nails are on your cat or dog and learn how to trim the nails before you even start.  Dog nail clippers, cat nail clippers and many other helpful grooming supplies are available at First Rate Pets.
