In guinea pigs, for example, the nails must often be trimmed using nail scissors or clippers, as the animals are usually kept on soft bedding and their constantly 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 with clippers or 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 always necessary if walks take place on surfaces that are too soft or are simply too short. If the nails are the right length, they will barely touch the ground 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\u003eIn dogs, 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 clippers 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 clippers and scissors, there are also nail files, which allow the nails of dogs and cats 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\n\u003ch4\u003eSet includes:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNail file, length: 16 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNail clippers, length: 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Swisspet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59780020044108,"sku":"574134","price":14.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/2102\/7916\/files\/574134.jpg?v=1793874607","url":"https:\/\/www.tierkiosk.ch\/en\/products\/swisspet-profikrallenscheren-m-16cm","provider":"Tierkiosk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
