CORTAR LAS UÑAS a un GATO ✂🐾 ¡SIN HACERLE DAÑO!

Hi, friends. My name is Susanna Gonzalez. I'm a veterinarian at San Jose Veterinarios in Barcelona. And today we're going to talk to you about how to properly cut a cat's nails. Ideally, it should be done by two people. One person holds the animal and the other practices the cutting. It's an extraordinarily simple procedure, whether you're a professional, an ATV rider or an owner. But like everything else, to do a good job, you need the right tool. To cut a cat's nails, we'll use cat nail clippers. Note that these are small scissors with a circular section. Why? Because a cat's nail is round, so you can cut without crushing or hurting your animal. It will slip off us and then our maneuver will be less precise, much slower and much more clumsy. Okay, so it is very difficult to do it wrong. We will show you now. To cut the nail, we have to externalize it. We will press the nail a little like this. And then notice that we place the nail clipper parallel to the palm of the hand and do it like this. Do you see that? There is a spike that goes down? That is what I am going to cut. See? Spike. I press spike. I will never cut like this, because then I could reach the pink part of the nail. And notice that if I only cut the spike that goes down. And remember that here they have another nail. Cats have 18 nails. Hold still like this. It is much better to hold the animal in the air. If we rest it on the table like this, it will gain momentum and go. Notice that there is always a finger between its two paws. Right? One of my fingers. And that's it. Well, friends, that's it for this video on how to cut your cat's nails. I don't know that it's an easy thing to do, but with a little practice, you'll find it delicious. And, well, if you want to know more.
