Cat nail clippers

Cat nail clippers at a range of prices

To trim your cat's claws at home, this selection brings together stainless steel blade clippers, LED models that help you see the claw clearly, scissors and an electric nail grinder. Most of them work for a small dog too.

Simple, safe clippers

Clippers with a short blade are enough for most cats:

• the ergonomic nail clippers for cats and small dogs, with a steel blade and comfortable handle, in four colours;
• the stainless steel nail clippers with a built-in depth guard;
• the safety models, including one with a locking system, and the version with a nail file included;
• the small model, also designed for rodents and birds, and the stainless steel nail scissors.

With an LED light, for a clearer view

On a pale claw, the light helps you spot where to cut. The cat nail clippers with built-in LED light come in blue or pink; the LED nail clipper adds a magnifier, and another LED model, compact and light, is made for both dogs and cats.

Professional clippers and nail grinder

The professional nail clippers with double opening, in stainless steel, are designed for cats. The curved model and the non-slip version complete the range. If your cat doesn't take well to clippers, the quiet electric nail grinder, with two speeds and USB charging, files the claw down instead of cutting it.

How do you trim a cat's claws?

Pick a calm moment, when your cat is dozing. Take a paw, press gently to extend the claw, then trim only the tip, well away from the pink part, which is living tissue. One or two paws per session is enough if your cat gets restless: you can finish the next day. Even a cat that's used to it is more cooperative with a treat at the end.

FAQ

Is it good to trim a cat's claws?

A cat that goes outside and climbs often wears its claws down by itself. An indoor cat wears them down less: trimming them now and then stops them catching on fabric. If in doubt, ask your vet to show you how.

How do you trim the claws of a cat that won't cooperate?

Keep sessions short and never force it: a few claws, then a break. With two people, one holds the cat in a towel while the other trims. An electric nail grinder is also a good option when clippers frighten your cat.
