Diggerdog Nail File With the DiggerDog Nail File your dog will love trimming its nails! Australian made

The DiggerDog Nail File is a new nail-trimming device which makes the trimming of dog nails easy and fun for both the dog and you, the owner. Its major difference from the usual nail-filing devices is that the dog does its own nail trimming, instead of being subjected to the often-stressful procedure.

We are proud that our DiggerDog Nail File has just been featured in an article on the American ‘Whole Dog Journal’. The story is by Jae Thomas, who contacted us when she wanted to include the DiggerDog Nail File in her product testing.
Four Dog Scratch Boards were tested by six dogs and DiggerDog Nail File received a second place / runner up position.
Here is a little snippet of the article:

‘Diggerdog was the second best of the dog scratch pads reviewed.
The sliding treat compartment on the DiggerDog nail file made it easy for all of the tester dogs to figure out.
The DiggerDog nail file is a great option for most dogs, especially dogs who don’t have any paw targeting training. The DiggerDog features a sliding compartment in the center for treats, which can be opened by the handler once a dog paws at the board. All six of our tester dogs (one of them being a nearly 11-year-old collie) easily figured out that digging at the center compartment would release the treats. Turns out that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

The DiggerDog is by far the quickest and easiest scratch pad to train your dog to use of the options we tested. In comparison to the ScratchPad however, the DiggerDog’s surface filed down dogs’ nails slightly less during testing.

The main downside of the DiggerDog is the price. Handmade in Australia, the units run $79 on the brand’s direct site and $66 for units with minor cosmetic imperfections, with shipping to the U.S. costing around $41 to most areas of the country. On Amazon, the scratch boards have free shipping, but cost $149 for brand-new models, or $119 for units with minor cosmetic imperfections (NOTE: these are also brand new). The DiggerDog prices are more than double every other option we tested, but if you have the cash and want a scratch pad your dog will learn to use almost immediately, we recommend it.’

Jane Harvey, of Melbourne, Australia, has had a life-time passion for pure-bred dogs. She is probably best known for breeding 73 Champion Rangeaire Airedales in line across 10 generations. Jane’s passion for the Tenterfield Terrier breed brings the number of Champions she has bred or owned to over 100. Her extensive experience also covers exhibiting, judging, breeding, grooming, education and as an advocate for pure-breed dogs. In the last decade, Jane has become famous for her unique and authoritative janedogs.com website.

We first met Jane Harvey a few years ago. At that stage, the Digger Dog Nail File looked a little different to what it looks like now. The body of the file was made from metal and the abrasive surface consisted of a specially painted coat. There were two surface colors available – Red and Blue. The handle was also a different shape.

We tested one of Jane’s dogs – little terrier ‘Dusty’. He was very toy-driven, so we used half a tennis ball, hidden within the food compartment, to motivate Dusty to dig at the surface – filing down his front nails as a result. He had a great time and it was so much fun to watch him enjoying this new ‘game’. Without any stress, Dusty gave his front nails a lovely pedicure!
And here is what Jane wrote about the Digger Dog Nail File on her website janedogs.com (under 'nail trimming').
'An Australian innovation, this is an entirely new approach to trimming dog's nails. Instead of touching your dog's feet, you shorten his nails by playing a game with him! The 'Digger Dog Nail File' is based on the dog's natural instinct to dig. The principle of this method is that the dog digs or scrapes his nails along an abrasive surface, shortening his own nails. So, either the dog himself or you can stop when the nails are sufficiently being worn down.
I have personally found this method easy for me and fun for the dog. In my opinion, it is certainly preferable to any of the three above more conventional methods!'

We thank Jane for giving us the opportunity to try the original model Digger Dog Nail File - the first of its kind in the world - with Dusty and for featuring our Digger Dog Nail File on her website - janedogs.com.

A recent Australian review from Melanie:
'I purchased this product because it was getting harder and harder to clip Ebay’s nails. The last time we did it we had to take to the vet and sedate. With Digger Dog, we just spent a few minutes teaching and now a couple of weeks later the nails are short, dogs are happy and super keen to play with Digger Dog. I really didn’t think it was going to work… but it did. Can’t be thankful enough. Thanks DiggerDog!!

Melanie's dogs are 2 Border Terriers. 'Ebay' (the scruffier looking female, 3.5 years old) and 'Seymour' (male 2.5 years old).

The video has been left 'au naturel' because we don't always need music. We LOVE to hear those little scratches - it means the nails are getting filed down!

Thanks Melanie, Ebay and Seymour - we wish you all the best with your DiggerDog Nail File :)

A recent review on Amazon USA 🇺🇸
Lorraine C.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: WOW!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024
Color: Blue Cosmetic Verified Purchase.

'I have a very spirited 78 # dog that is a handful to just file her nails that are too long and hurting me. That’s putting it nicely. Just got Digger Dog Monday afternoon. Followed the instructions that evening then yesterday morning. I called it “Dig It” since she never heard those words. Last night she scratched the board and was rewarded immediately with the treat. High value chicken pieces. Did the same about 6 or 7 times and put the box up. Just now, Wednesday, I cut up a 100% all beef hot dog into about 8 or 9 pieces. “Dig It” and she actually was starting to use both paws to get in there. I can’t hear the front nails!! Hot dog done and that’s it for this week. Next week I’ll repeat and get them a little shorter. I don’t want to get to the quick and bleed.

A bit of advice when placing the box on the floor have your foot at the base of the handle so these smart dogs don’t open the box with their noses. I left it open just a crack to have the scent escape and when she scratched it only closed all the way slightly not scaring her off.
Wish I knew about this long ago. I had meds prescribed by the vet that didn’t calm her down enough to not fight back. Sumo wrestling a dog to do nails with a friend is not my vision of having a friend over to help me.'

Thanks for your review Lorraine
and Happy Digging! 😊

This post is from and I have been a bit slow to share it. Thanks team :)

Here is the post:
This week I’m going to showcase training dogs to use the .dog.nail.file. Gomez is kind of a timid learner so I’m focusing on building his confidence up. The first video is him getting reacquainted with it after not using it for awhile, and the second is the next day, where you can see him getting a little bolder.
If you have a dog that has a difficult time with getting their nails trimmed, why not teach them to do it themselves? It’s so easy and fun. This tool has metal plates and is extremely effective. Right now, it’s on sale for $20 off AND you can get an additional $10 off by going through the link in my bio and using the code! I don’t know how long the sale will last, so jump on it!

Dr Doug English is an Australian Veterinarian and long-time Turmeric researcher.

He created his Golden Paste recipe by adapting traditional recipes to current cooking practices and materials.

In 2012, Dr Doug founded the Turmeric User Group with the aim of collecting reports on the benefits of turmeric. Not long after that, the turmericlife.com.au website was started

Being a Vet, Dr Doug’s focus was primarily on his animal clients, but his company – Turmeric Life – includes several turmeric-based products for humans as well.

I first met Dr Doug when I lived in Cairns, where he was my Doberman Niki’s Vet. He was also the first Vet to see my little invention (back then at an amateurish stage) the DiggerDog Nail File. This file, the first of its kind in the world, was designed for a dog’s more problematic front nails.

Dr Doug explained:

‘Trimming a dog’s nails is an important health task. It is more important to clip the fronts, because the hind toenails wear better as they are used more when the dog moves.’

Nowadays the DiggerDog Nail File Is made in Melbourne, Australia from high quality components. For several years, it has been helping dogs and their owners with this often-difficult grooming task.

Neither Dr Doug nor I live in Cairns anymore – he is now based in Burleigh Heads QLD and I live in Melbourne.

One of Dr Doug’s line of products is the Turmeric Dog Bites. My Doberman Niki LOVES THEM!

The DiggerDog Nail File works on a dog’s instinct to dig for food, so while the dog is filing down its front nails, you might as well use something super-healthy!

We think that the DiggerDog Nail File and Turmeric Dog Bites are a match made in Heaven!

HAPPY DIGGING!

Here is Sunny, using the DiggerDog Nail File - a stress-free dog nail scratch board (Invented and Made in Australia) to file down his front nails.
This fun video shows that the file can be held on an angle, off the ground, as well as being used on a flat surface.

Steve from California sent us this video of his dog 'Bodie', who is just starting his training on the DiggerDog Nail File.
Steve writes:

'I couldn't cut his nails with a clipper or grinder. Bodie was also taken to the vet several times to get his nails cut, but he would not let them either. The vet prescribed meds for him to take before appointments, but they still couldn't get the nails trimmed. Bodie is food motivated and they suggested the Digger Dog Nail File. I adopted him from our local shelter. He has found his forever home now. Bodie was surrendered twice, before I adopted him. Bodie is almost two now and is an 41.2% American Pit Bull Terrier, 25.4% German Shepherd and 24.4% American Staffordshire Terrier. He also has 9% Supermutt with traces of German Shorthaired Pointer and Labrador Retriever'.

Thanks Steve and Bodie!
We wish you all the very best with the DiggerDog Nail File.

I suggest the nail file to anyone who has trouble maintaining their dog’s nails. I love it so much- totally worth having it shipped to the UK from Australia. Thank you for such a great product.’

Clever Boston Terrier ‘Percy’ is confidently filing his nails on his DiggerDog Nail File.
He had a dew claw emergency as an 8 month old.
Since then he has hated having his nails clipped.
His mum has had to take him to the vet every month for nail clipping. Apparently Percy used to carry on ‘like he’s being murdered’😂 His mum Mandi writes ‘the DiggerDog Nail File has been the best thing ever!!! Thank you so much for making such an incredible product’.
Thank you Mandi and Percy and Happy Digging!
