🐾💅 Meet Bali! 🤍
Bali popped in for a little nail clip and, of course, some extra cuddles with Nurse Becca! 🥹🐱 Because no vet visit is complete without a little TLC. 💕
✂️ Did you know how important regular nail trims are for your cat?
🐾 Check the claws: Gently press your cat’s paw to extend each claw and check whether they’re getting too long.
🐾 Trim little by little: Using cat-specific nail clippers, carefully snip just the sharp, curved tip of the nail.
🐾 Avoid the quick: The pink area inside the nail contains blood vessels and nerves, so cutting into it can cause pain and bleeding. For dark nails, trim only a tiny amount at a time.
🐾 Keep it stress-free: Choose a calm moment, offer treats and cuddles, and take breaks if your cat becomes uncomfortable. You don’t have to trim every claw in one sitting!
🐾 Know when to ask for help: If you’re unsure, your cat is very wriggly, or their nails are overgrown, your veterinary team can help show you how to trim them safely.
Regular nail checks help prevent claws from becoming overgrown, snagging on fabrics or, in severe cases, growing into the paw pads. 🐾
A big cuddle-filled thank you to Bali for being such a cutie! 🤍
