-PERFECT FOR DOGS AFRAID OF NAIL CLIPPERS- Did you know dogs naturally scratch the ground to file their nails? if you are having trouble clipping your dogs nails replace that nail clipper for the scratch board and let the dog file its own nails! -WORRIED ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE SCRATCH PAD? The scratch pad is 10” x 24” so it is great for all different size dogs. If you decide to put it against an object for your dog it is 1/2 an inch thick! Therefore, you do not have to worry about it breaking. -DOUBLE SIDED BOARD-OUT board is double sided with sandpaper(80 grit sandpaper for hard nails and 100 grit sandpaper for soft nails) Our sandpaper will last you 6-8 month! if you ever decide to replace it all you simply have to do is just peel off the old sandpaper and replace it with a new one. -EASY TO TEACH YOUR DOG- We like to recommend teaching your dog to give you a paw first before trying to teach them to use the scratch pad. When he gives you a paw let their hand hit the scratch board and reward your dog with a treat! If your dog does not know how to do a paw no worries just guide their hand in a scratching motion onto the scratch pad and reward them with a treat. Remember what I said, dogs naturally scratch the ground to keep their nails healthy so your dog will learn very fast in a stress and pain free way! -FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS- If you are having any troubles or questions with the product please contact us we want to give our customers the best experience possible!
