In guinea pigs, for example, the nails must often be trimmed using nail scissors or nippers, as the animals are usually kept on soft bedding and their continuously growing nails do not wear down and shorten automatically on the soft surface as they would in their natural habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn cats, nail care using nail nippers and scissors is only necessary if the cat is no longer able to trim them itself by sharpening them on trees, scratching posts, or similar surfaces due to illness or old age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn dogs, nail care is necessary whenever walks take place on surfaces that are too soft or are simply too short. When the nails are the correct length, they touch the ground little or not at all. The dog owner usually realizes whether trimming is necessary when the dog makes clicking noises on parquet or tiled floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all animals, the rule applies: if the nails become too long, they can lead to misaligned paws and pain and, in the worst case, even grow into the paw and cause bleeding. To prevent this, they should be checked regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen trimming nails, it is important to leave a sufficient distance from the quick, which can be identified by its pink color. Nerves and blood vessels run in this area, and a distance of 2–3 mm should be maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether nail scissors or nail nippers are used to trim the nails depends on the size and condition of the nail. A cut length limiter is useful to prevent accidentally trimming them too short. This can be particularly useful for animals with dark nails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to nail nippers and nail scissors, there are also nail files, which allow dog and cat nails to be filed down rather than clipped. This gradual approach to the optimal nail length reduces the risk of injuring the blood vessels and nerves that run through the nail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swisspet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59780023353676,"sku":"574166","price":12.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/2102\/7916\/files\/574166.jpg?v=1793874654","url":"https:\/\/www.tierkiosk.ch\/en\/products\/swisspet-profikrallenscheren-kleine-13cm","provider":"Tierkiosk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
