Claw clipping is a skill especially as some pets can be particularly wriggly! If you are feeling under-confident in trimming your pet’s nails our veterinary nurses can trim them for you and/or show you how to do it yourselves. This can be done within our nurse clinics at our Hook Norton, Charlbury, Deddington, and Moreton-in-Marsh surgeries.
Dogs that exercise regularly on hard surfaces will need their claws clipping less regularly than those with a gentler lifestyle.
Most cats will keep their own claws a suitable length, but indoor and older cats often require claw clipping to prevent their claws from curling inwards into their skin.
Rabbits and guinea pigs usually require claw clipping, so please keep a close eye on them.
