What is mobile vet nail clipping?

Mobile vet nail clipping is a convenient service provided by our vets where they travel to the pet owner's location to trim their pet's nails. It is a safe and essential aspect of pet grooming and health maintenance, as overgrown nails can lead to discomfort, pain, and various health issues for pets.

How often should my pet's nails be clipped?

The frequency of nail clipping depends on your pet's activity level and the natural wear of their nails. For most pets, nail trimming every 4 to 6 weeks is sufficient to maintain an appropriate nail length. However, some pets with slower nail growth or outdoor activities may require less frequent trimming.

How does mobile vet nail clipping work?

Our mobile vet will arrive at your home with the necessary equipment, including nail clippers. The veterinarian gently holds the pet's paws, trims the nails to an appropriate length, and smooths the edges to prevent sharpness.

Why is nail clipping essential for my pet's health?

Regular nail trimming is crucial for a pet's overall health and well-being. Overgrown nails can lead to various issues, such as painful nail curling, difficulty walking, and joint problems. Long nails can also get caught in objects or carpets, causing injury. By keeping their nails at an appropriate length, pets can maintain proper posture and reduce the risk of injury.

Can I trim my pet's nails myself?

While it is possible to trim your pet's nails at home, it can be a challenging task, especially if your pet is nervous or uncooperative. Many pet owners prefer the expertise of a mobile vet who has experience in safely handling pets and knows how to trim the nails efficiently without causing any harm.

My pet is anxious about nail trimming. How can a mobile vet help?

Mobile vets are experienced in handling anxious pets and can provide a calmer environment for the nail clipping procedure. They use gentle and patient techniques to ensure your pet feels comfortable throughout the process. Additionally, being in the familiar surroundings of their own home can reduce stress for many pets.

Can mobile vets perform nail clipping for aggressive pets?

Mobile vets are trained to handle various behavioural situations, including aggressive pets. In cases where a pet is exceptionally fearful or aggressive, the veterinarian may use muzzles or other calming techniques to ensure both their safety and that of the pet during the nail clipping procedure. Please let us know ahead of time if your pet is aggressive.

Not sure you need nail clipping?

You can use our Telepet video call or chat service to talk to one of our experienced and trusted vets who can guide you on whether you need to nail clip your pet. It's convenient, costs from $69, and our vet will address any concerns you may have.
