Five Star Reviews
Many five-star reviews and happy customers, like below from Chelsea N:
"My dog Aussie is not a fan of her nails being done, I am a dog trainer and know the importance of touching their paws and while I can do that dremels and clippers trigger her. We also walk her on pavement a lot but it only goes so far! This is a dream and within 4 days of training she is starting to get it! 💕🐾"

This scratch pad is great, only suggestion would be a handle at top for aggressive scratchers

We love scratch pad! The refills were super easy to use. I added a bit more spray adhesive and they work great.

My dog was a rescue from the streets of the Bahamas. Needless to say, she has always had high anxiety. She used to let me trim her nails- not all at once, but I could usually do a few at a time, but for the past year I’m lucky if I can get to 1 nail. Her Vet trims her nails once a year, but going there has been pretty traumatic for her lately and the last time, she wouldn’t let them. Even sedating her doesn’t help much.
We tried the scratch pad today for the first time and we were pretty successful! I’m so happy and relieved to find something that works.

I actually found this as a great product for cats as well as dogs from a “kitten” site…My daughter recently adopted a young cat—and he has been very open to learning things—nail trims were always a major anxiety stressors for my daughter with her previous, older cats…I thought perhaps she could teach her young kitten to use this “scratch” pad and maybe not have to do as much “claw” trimming as before…The product came very well wrapped, with clear written instructions, extra scratch pads AND great information and suggestions on how to change out the scratch pads in the future…Very pleased with everything—and fingers crossed that this does become part of kitties regular routine….

Wow these reviews were no joke… I have a corgi that’s very sensitive to body handling and while we desensitize her to the dremel, we needed something to keep up with her nails that wouldn’t set us back in our progress. This is IT! She learned within 3 or 4 training sessions and her nails look fabulous. Bye-bye pet parent guilt!

Turned vet visits to play time
Our dog Meera has always been incredibly fearful of getting her nails done. It got to the point where we had to take her to the vet to have her put under anesthesia to get them done because it caused her so much fear and distress. Even touching her paws can lead to her peeing on the floor or blowing her anal glands. My folks were dubious, but I held out hope. We definitely had to move slowly, but the patience paid off. Fast forward a few months after trying this out and she's now eagerly scratching the board for her favorite treats and getting whipped up in a playtime frenzy! We've yet to figure out the back paws, but her front nails are significantly visibly improved after a little bit of scratching every day.

Can’t believe I didn’t think of this
Our rescue would not let anyone cut her nails- even with multiple sedatives. After one week, our golden retriever mix figured out that a scratch on the board equals a treat. We use special high value treats for filing her nails and she now LOVES scratching on the scratch pad. Her nails get shorter by the day. And she is happy to do it!! Can’t say enough good things about the scratch pad. Brilliant.

This is my second one because my bunny has claimed the first one as her own and won’t let my pups use it.
