Our Safe Cat Declawing Process

Make an appointment at our compassionate clinic for feline declawing by a trained medical professional. While there are many different declawing techniques, all of them include removing both the claws and the small bone pieces where claw grow from. This is to prevent the claws from growing back after the procedure is complete.

In order to remove the claw and bone, we use a special sliding blade instrument that cuts straight through the bone in one quick process. It also cuts the pad underneath. This cat declawing procedure is safe and does not endanger the pet, aside from the small risk of infection or anesthesia complications that comes with any kind of surgery. With proper care, your cat will be fully recovered in no time.

If you have any questions or concerns about pet declawing, give us a call. Our medical professionals will be happy to address any issues you may have.
