Keep your nails trimmed for a comfortable daily life.
Thank you for purchasing the SUWADA cat nail clipper.
To ensure many years of use, we will explain how to properly clip your cat's nails and how to care for the clippers.
Able to cut in 1mm increments
SUWADA nail clippers for cats are designed to be easy to grip and aim, allowing you to care for your cat's small claws without worrying about cutting them too short.
Regular nail trimming can also reduce the risk of ingrown claws, snagging accidents, and damage to walls and floors.
How to cut nails properly
Once your nail clippers arrive, try out their impressive sharpness right away.
【Firmly hold your cat】
Hold your cat and keep their body still. Gently press their paw pads to extend their claws.
【Check the part to cut】
Only "clip" the white, transparent tip of the claw. The pinkish translucent part contains blood vessels and nerves, so cut about 1-2mm away from it.
【Clip the sharp part】
Clip the cat's claw by holding it vertically. The key is to finish quickly, as the clippers are sharp and require little force.
【Reward after finishing】
Once nail trimming is done, give a reward. Give treats or play with toys to avoid leaving a negative impression of nail trimming.
For safer nail trimming
Many cats dislike having their nails trimmed, and many owners find nail trimming scary or difficult.
For such cats and owners, the SUWADA cat nail clipper nipper is highly recommended. Its sharpness allows for a clean cut without a "snapping" impact or sound, making it less likely for cats to resist. It's also easy to trim just 1mm at a time, reducing the worry of cutting too deep.
To trim your cat's nails more safely, it's reassuring to know some key tips for nail trimming.
Hold in place with a towel
If they get wild, sometimes wrapping them snugly in a bath towel can calm them down. Another method is to put them in a laundry net, exposing only their claws through the net to trim them.
You don't have to finish it all at once.
You don't have to cut all your nails at once. It's fine to cut them gradually, even just one nail a day.
I also cut my thumbnails.
Cats have five claws on their front paws, including one in the position of a human thumb. Don't forget to trim it, as it can become ingrown if left untrimmed.
How to care for your SUWADA cat nail clippers
After using the nail clippers, please wipe them gently with a soft cloth.
Additionally, since Suwada nail nippers use cutlery steel, rust may occur. Applying commercially available rust-preventative oil occasionally will allow you to use them for a long time.
After-sales service
With prolonged use, the sharpness may diminish. In such cases, you can receive after-sales services such as blade sharpening and adjustment at Suwada Open Factory (paid service).
