I have been watching my daughters cat since June. I cannot find the carrier and she needs her nails clipped..They are long she is catching on everything. She is overgrooming and sad. I feel so bad for her. Do you know of a place I can give a credi
You cannot give the cat that medication. Most vets office can trim nails with out doing anything and may have a carrier for you. Depending on your area, there may be a mobile vet or groomer than can come to you to do this for you. I would start with contacting a vet's office or local groomer and they can assist you or provide you with someone in town that can if needed.

Do cats need Heartworm prevention? I just realized I never discussed this with my vet. Also, do I use the same nail trimmers for my cat as I do for my dogs? I’ve noticed cats nails are flat compared to dogs round nails but the clippers look the same.
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Cats should be on heart worm preventative. This maybe a seasonal recommendation depending on where you live. Also, the nail trimmers used with your dog can generally be used on your cat as well. Just be careful that the blades are sharp and fit the nail well. Always be aware of the quick of the nail and have something to help stop bleeding in case you hit the 'quick.'

I got this cat at humane society an was very loveable. 3 months after we her she has become very skidish. She diesnt come to her name or kitty kitty. Cant even get her to clip her claws.
Try enticing her with toys and treats. Catnip may also work. A pheromone product such as Feliway Spray or plug in diffuser may decrease any anxiety or stress. Consider an exam with your veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury if the behavior persists.

I just rescued my 1 year old kitty. She is perfectly healthy and grooms all the time. She is an American Bobtail Tortie Shell with medium hair. How often should I take her to the groomer to get bathed, her nails clipped, and to have her hair trimmed?
Cats generally do not require bathes because they are so great about cleaning and grooming themselvs. Their nails naturally shed every 6-8 weeks and having them clipped actually leads to scratching because they want to make them sharp. As far as hair trimmed, that is personal preference for you. Try to brush her daily to get her used to it so there will be no tangles or mats. IF a mat does develop, then she will it cut out by the groomer. Her teeth should be brushed at least 3 times a week if able and you can do this at home with finger tooth brush and feline approved tooth past to help.

I want to trim my cat's nails, but he is very agitated when I try to do so, is there a recommended calming treat or something I can do to help him feel calmer? Thank you.
This can be difficult because even calming supplements may not help. This link about anxiety but some of the information could be useful: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-products-for-pets-with-noise-anxiety/ It can be difficult to make pets enjoy or even allow a nail trim. You may try to counteract this by creating a positive association. Begin by having a high value treat. Start toughing his feet and reward him as soon as you touch his toe nails. Do this for a few days. Once Sam seems comfortable with this behavior, show him the clippers. Rewards him every time he looks at the clippers. Gradually move the clippers closer to him until they touch his nail. Give him treats frequently. Then cut one nail, reward him immediately and stop the trimming for that session. Work up to multiple nails. If you are unable to trim his nails, I recommend to have the groomer or the vet's office trim them. Be very careful not to be scratched or bitten. I hope this helps and please feel free to post a
