Cat Paw & Nail Care: Tips and Products for Happy, Healthy Paws

Ensure your cat's paws and nails are in top-notch condition with Petlux's premium paw care products. Healthy paws are the foundation for a vibrant feline life, enabling exploration indoors and outdoors. Our curated collection includes top-quality nail clippers, paw waxes, and cleaners to cater to your cat's specific needs.

Regardless of whether your cat is an indoor or outdoor adventurer, they encounter various terrains. From icy winter grounds to hot summer asphalt, their paws face different challenges. Your cat relies on you to safeguard their paws from these diverse environments.

Paw Perfection with Petlux

Outdoor cats, in particular, subject their paws to the elements across different seasons. Extreme temperatures can impact their sensitive paws, necessitating proper care. Among our offerings is Biogance's organic paw wax, composed of 98% natural ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter. These components provide crucial protection and soothing relief for paws exposed to harsh conditions. 

Paw and Nail Maintenance

Debris like stones or twigs can become lodged between your cat's paws during their outdoor excursions. If left unattended, this can lead to long-term discomfort. Regularly cleaning or brushing your cat's feet is a wise practice, given the constant exposure of their paws to various weather conditions. Petlux offers a range of paw care products, including waxes, to ensure your cat's paws remain healthy and clean throughout the year.

Nail care is equally essential, even if your cat enjoys scratching posts or pads. Petlux provides a wide selection of nail clippers and grinders, allowing you to choose the right size for a hassle-free nail trimming experience.

Trimming Your Cat's Nails

If you're fortunate to have a cat that tolerates nail trimming, it's a task you can handle yourself. However, caution is paramount to avoid cutting too close and causing discomfort or bleeding. Setting up the equipment beforehand, such as using a nail clipper from KW, is crucial. If you're unsure, seeking guidance from a professional before attempting nail clipping is advised.

Dealing with Over-Trimming

Even seasoned cat owners may occasionally trim too close. This can be distressing for both you and your cat. Luckily, you can use a blood-stopping powder formulated to swiftly halt bleeding. Gently apply the powder to the affected nail and apply slight pressure until bleeding ceases.

When Nail Trimming Isn't Feasible

While early grooming introduction is ideal, some cats may not acclimate to nail clipping. In such cases, entrusting the task to your vet or a professional groomer ensures a stress-free experience for both you and your cat.

Addressing Wounds

Given your cat's exposure to various elements, it's prudent to inspect their body for scratches, burns, bruises, or lodged debris. Cleaning their paws, applying paw wax, and ensuring no foreign objects are stuck in their fur is advisable. For wound care, consider  antibacterial silver water as an effective remedy.
