(Newswire.net — December 30, 2014) Minden, NV — Pet experts advise that trimming a cat’s nails helps to prevent the dangerous Bartonella Henselae Disease, commonly known as Cat Scratch Disease. Simply Pets Online released their professional cat nail clippers that allow pet parents to lessen this risk.
Cat Scratch Disease is pssed on to humans by cats and is caused by the transmission of bacteria in flea faeces. The bacteria enters the bloodstream when scratched by a cat with flea feces infected nails. Once an individual is scratched by a cat, he/she is at risk.
Symptoms of this disease includes lymph node swelling, fever, joint pain, skin infection, weight loss and headache. Severe cases lead to enlargement of the spleen or heart valve infection. In terms of treatment, the disease is usually allowed to clear up on its own, which can take several months. Key to preventing this serious disease, as a cat owner, is keeping cat nails low and controllable.
The cat nail clippers by Simply Pets Online are designed to provide a precise cut with ease. The stainless steel material used for the blades keeps the clippers sharp enough to clip the nails in one go. The blue-colored rubber handles allow easy grip, making the task quicker.
A San Franciscan veterinarian, Dr Eric Barchas, comments that trimmed cat nails “cause less damage to human skin than their sharper counterparts.” He advises, “Remember that with nail trimming, as with so many things in life, practice makes a big difference. If you set your mind to regularly handling and trimming your cat’s nails, you will most likely get good at it.”
CEO and veteran veterinarian, Paul Proctor comments, “Cats can be so loving and adorable, but they have a habit of scratching. So, trimming their nails with this cat nail clipper is pretty much in your best interest as well as theirs.”
