Trimming a cat’s claws every two to three weeks is an important part of maintaining your pet’s health. Not only does a quick trim protect you, your pet and your family, it can also save your sofa, curtains and other furniture.
Not keeping up with a routine nail trim will lead to their nails getting stuck on any kind of fabric because their nails are too long to fully retract! You can tell it is time for a nail trim as you’ll notice lots of small holes in your furniture, clothing…or even yourself! So instead of keeping their claws safely tucked away while they’re walking around the house (or on your chest) they can’t help but have them out.
Not trimming your cats nails will grow to a point where they are painful for the cat or may even curl back into their toe or into their paw pad. In some cases, long nails may get torn out and cause bleeding, infection or other problems for the cat. This is most important in polydactyly cat (6 toes) and especially in older cats.

Signs & Symptoms of Torn Toenail in Cats
Often, the only way that you will know something is wrong with the cat is by the presence of blood drops around the home. A torn toenail may bleed sporadically for hours. Other signs to watch for include:
- Licking paw excessively
- Crying
- Jagged appearance of claw
- Bloody or Swollen paw
- Limping
- Pain when paws are touched
In more serious cases of torn toenail or if a nail grows into the paw, your cat can have an infection or inflammation. Fever, loss of appetite, swelling, pus, or seeping blood on the paw are all signs that a bacterial infection is present.
Matted Cat Hair
Cats are famous self-groomers. In fact, most kitties can be spotted cleaning themselves multiple times a day and have the coat to show for it. So what’s the deal when your feline’s fur starts looking clumpy and thick? Matted cat hair is a problem for many pet parents—it’s tough to remove, and it’s not going to go away on its own.
“Matted hair on your cat often indicates that they have stopped grooming or aren’t grooming as effectively as they used to,”
Clumps of fur also lead to skin irritation and may cause skin infections. Matted fur is not just found in long hair or older cats, but can be an indications of fleas, Dirt or oils.
Our nail trimming services are generally $25 and minor Matt removals can cost anywhere between $30+. Prices may vary depending on your location. Discounts offered if you have more then one pet or if you choose both services. There may be an unexpected charge if your pet requires flea treatment, ear wash or skin antibiotics. All monies from these service goes directly to helping our rescued pets at Beamsville 4Paw Rescue.
*Discounts to anyone that has adopted your pet from Beamsville 4Paw Rescue.
