Why You'll Love It

Most people don't struggle to cut their cat's claws. They struggle to
cut them without worrying they've gone too far.

See the claw before you cut

The rounded aperture holds the claw in view instead of hiding it behind the blade, so you can line up well clear of the quick.

Cuts clean, doesn't crush

Stainless steel blades slice through in one pass. Human clippers squash a cat's claw sideways and leave it split.

Sized for small paws

Built for cats, kittens, puppies and small dogs — not a dog tool you're expected to make work on a kitten.

Grip that holds when they wriggle

A shaped handle keeps your hand steady through the one second that matters, so a squirm doesn't turn into a nick

Two minutes a fortnight beats a wrestling match every month.

Claws that get trimmed little and often stop being a fight. The cats who hate it most are usually the ones it only happens to twice a year.

Simple to Use. Easy to Make Part of Their Routine.

Three claws on the first day is a win. You're building a habit, notfinishing a job.
Step 01

Wait for the right moment

Catch them sleepy, not playful — after a meal or a nap is ideal. Sit them in your lap facing away from you and press gently on the pad to extend one claw.
Step 02

Find the pink, cut below it

Hold the claw to the light. The pink core is the quick — the blood vessel and nerve. Cut the clear tip only, a couple of millimetres clear of where the pink ends. On dark claws, take a sliver at a time and stop when the cut surface starts to look moist.
Step 03

Stop before they've had enough

Do two or three claws, give a treat and let them go. Come back tomorrow. Cats only need their front claws done, and only every two to four weeks.

Why claws need trimming at all

A thoughtfully designed product that fits naturally into your pet's everyday routine.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T

An indoor cat's claws never wear down the way an outdoor cat's do. Left long, they curl back on themselves and grow into the pad — painful, and it usually needs a vet to sort out. Senior cats are most at risk, because they stop scratching enough to keep their own claws in check.

THE ONE CLAW EVERYONE FORGETS

The dewclaw sits higher up on the inside of each front leg and never touches the ground, so nothing wears it down. It's the claw most likely to grow into the pad. Check it every time.

WHY NOT HUMAN NAIL CLIPPERS

A human clipper is flat and cuts across. A cat's claw is curved and layered, so a flat blade crushes it sideways and leaves it split down the middle — sore, and it snags on everything. The curved aperture on a proper claw trimmer cuts with the shape instead of against it.

WHAT IT SAVES YOU

A groomer charges around $15–25 for a nail trim, and most cats need one every few weeks. Doing it at home covers the cost of these clippers inside two visits.

Questions Before You Order?

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about this product.

  • Stay calm — it looks worse than it is, but it does hurt. Press a clean cloth to the tip and hold it for a minute or two. Styptic powder from any pet shop stops it fastest; cornstarch or plain flour pressed into the tip works if you don't have any. Keep some to hand before your first attempt. If it hasn't stopped after ten minutes, call your vet.

  • You can't see it, so you work by feel instead. Take a very thin sliver off the tip, then look at the cut end. Pale and chalky means keep going. A small dark or moist-looking dot in the centre means you've reached the start of the quick — stop there. Trimming little and often also causes the quick to recede over time, which gives you more room.

  • Every two to four weeks for most indoor cats, front paws only. Back claws wear down on their own and rarely need touching. Older cats often need doing more often, because they stop using their scratching post as much.

  • Don't start with the clippers. Spend a week just holding a paw for two seconds and giving a treat, then pressing a pad to extend a claw and giving a treat. Once that's boring to her, add the clippers and do one claw. Most cats who "hate" this were rushed the first time.

  • On puppies and small breeds, yes. Anything larger than a spaniel has claws too thick for the aperture, and you'd be better with a dedicated large-dog clipper.

  • They're identical apart from the handle — yellow or green, whichever you'd rather find in a drawer.

  • Regular trimming is the standard alternative, yes. Declawing is an amputation of the last bone of each toe and is banned or heavily restricted in much of the world. Trimming plus a scratching post handles it for almost every household.
