Cats claws need trimming
We used to bring our cats to Petco in roxbury for inexpensive claw trimming but the person has moved on.My vet charges $30. too much in my opinion. I tried petsmart at the ITC and someone does it there sporatically. Any suggestions?
stressed out have you tried doing it yourself? Even if you just do a paw a day so your cat is not too stressed.
Summer I do mine myself. Two of my three have no issue with it at all. The third doesn't have any issue with me doing it once I catch her. She's very timid and isn't crazy about being picked up and held.

sackA good tool that won't hurt them helps. Also try holding them down instead of picking them up. That's the way I've seen them do it at the vet's office.
GC I get mine while they are sleeping soundly. Sometimes I only get one, other times I get a whole paw before they wake up.
A lot less stress on all involved that way.
I also find it safer to let the nails get long first. They are easier to see and judge the cut length.
Stan Sack-tried that on the dog. Wasn't having it. Lol.
Vets do it. Under $20 for my dog. Probably cheaper for cats.
botheredbyuu2 Ask Jim at Hackettstown Pet Store. I was told by an employee years ago that he clips birds wings and nails. I asked when I moved here because I had 2 cockatiels. I ended up not needing those services though. Anyway, he might do cats claws too.
jrsemom I used Sheri's Pampered Pets for my older cat a few years ago - she came to the house and was very good (& quick) w/ my cat.

Neezy GC - My Lydia would never stand for being held down, I could lose an eye. LOL As far as my other two, they just sit patiently on my lap with their backs toward me and enjoy the attention. :-)
