Nail Boards
🐕🐩🐾Nail Boards - An Alternative to Nail Clipping!🐕🐩🐾
At the level 4 lockdown, we are not able to do nail trims for your pets, unless the overgrown nails are causing pain or welfare issues.
As an alternative, we are sharing info about the Nail boards. If they work for your dog then they provide stress free way of managing the overgrowing nails. See the attached video of Roshi using the nail board, thankfully shared by our esteemed client.
Nail boards can be made using a board, duct tape, and coarse or medium sandpaper.
Tips to train your dog for nail board:
Another alternative to nail board training is to incorporate fun games.
Place the board on the ground, sprinkle it with treats then cover with a towel. Many dogs will dig through the towel to find the treats, filing their own nails in the process.
Toss a squeaky toy on the ground and place the board on top. Often your dog will dig at the board to get to the toy, filing his nails in the process.
Place the board in a high traffic area where your dog frequently walks, such as near the door to go outside. Walking over the board will naturally file the nails.
If you have a dog that frequently scratches to go outside, you can hang a small board on the door to encourage them to scratch the nail board instead.
