Regular nail care is an important part of keeping your pet comfortable and healthy. Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect how your pet walks and may even lead to injury. At Narangba Vet we offer gentle and stress-free nail clipping for dogs, cats and small pets.
NAIL CLIPPING
AT NARANGBA VET
WHY NAIL CARE MATTERS
If nails become too long, they can:
Split or break
Affect balance and movement
Curl into the paw pads
Causes discomfort when walking on hard surfaces
Routine trimming helps prevent these problems and keeps your pet mobile and comfortable.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our experienced team will take the time to help your pet feel relaxed before starting. We use safe and calm handling techniques to make the experience as pleasant as possible, especially for pets who may feel unsure about having their paws touched.
If your pet finds nail clipping stressful, please let us know. We can offer advice on gradual training, desensitisation, and ways to help make future visits easier.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD NAILS BE CLIPPED?
Every pet is different. Some pets naturally wear down their nails through regular activity, while others need more frequent trimming. Your vet or nurse can advise you on how often your pet should visit based on their breed, lifestyle, and nail growth.
AT HOME NAIL CARE
If you would like to learn how to maintain your pet’s nails at home, our team can guide you on safe techniques and the right tools to use. We will show you what to look for and how to avoid trimming too close.
