Nail trims
You do not need a full grooming appointment to get your pet's nails trimmed. Four Paws & Claws offers standalone nail trims for dogs and cats at $10 per visit. It is one of the most-requested quick services at the salon, and it is available for pets of all sizes and temperaments.
A nail trim appointment takes just a few minutes. The groomer will clip or grind the nails to a safe, comfortable length using professional-grade clippers or a rotary grinding tool, depending on what works best for the animal. This is available for both dogs and cats without scheduling a bath or full groom. For dogs with dark nails where the quick is hard to see, the groomer trims conservatively and checks between each clip to avoid cutting too short.
Overgrown nails can cause real problems beyond just scratching your floors. When nails get too long, they change how your pet's paw hits the ground, which affects their gait and can lead to joint pain over time. In severe cases, nails can curl and grow into the paw pad, causing infection and pain. Most dogs need a trim every 3 to 4 weeks. Cats with indoor lifestyles may need trims every 2 to 3 weeks depending on scratching habits and activity level. Keeping nails short also reduces the risk of them catching and tearing on carpet, furniture, or outdoor surfaces.
Some dogs and cats panic at the sight of nail clippers. The team at Four Paws & Claws is experienced with anxious animals and will adjust the pace -- trimming a few nails at a time with breaks if needed. For extremely nervous pets, a rotary grinder is sometimes less startling than the snap of clippers. If your pet has a history of bad nail trim experiences, mention it when you call so the groomer can plan accordingly.
Nail trims are $10 for both dogs and cats. The salon works on an appointment basis, so call (216) 744-0965 ahead to confirm a time slot, especially on busier days like Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The salon is located at 4352 Pearl Rd in Old Brooklyn, Cleveland, with easy access from Parma, Brooklyn, Lakewood, and the surrounding West Side neighborhoods.
