How to Trim Your Cat's Nails | Hudson Veterinary Hospital - Ossining, New York
Outdoor cats generally wear down their nails by climbing walls and trees or scratching to mark their territory. Indoor cats, however, have no effective method of wearing down their nails, which are constantly growing. Scratching posts may help, but ultimately your cat will need its nails trimmed. This is because an untrimmed nail can become ingrown and painful or infected; it can also get caught on something and rip down to the toe. Either way, untrimmed nails can cause serious problems for your cat.
It’s important to keep your cat’s nails trimmed, but doing so yourself can be unpleasant for both you and your pet. To avoid this, have it done during your cat’s pet grooming sessions at Hudson Veterinary Hospital. Hudson Veterinary Hospital is a great animal hospital that offers pet grooming, pet boarding, low-cost spaying and neutering, and prescription dog and cat food.
