Wooden Dog Nail Scratch Board with Sandpaper and Treat Compartment

Instead of holding a paw still for clippers, this board lets your dog file their own nails. It is a flat board of solid wood with black sandpaper on top, and your dog scratches at it with a paw. A sliding sandpaper panel covers a built-in compartment where you can hide a few treats, which gives your dog a reason to paw at the board.

Start by placing the board on a non-slip floor and putting a treat in the compartment so your dog learns that the board is a place to paw. Reward each attempt. Some dogs take to it in minutes, and others need several short sessions, so keep early practice relaxed and let your dog set the pace. Because the surface is abrasive, it is meant for nail filing only, so keep it away from furniture and soft flooring where the grit could snag.

The board comes in black sandpaper, and you can order a single board or a multi-pack of two, three or ten. No exact dimensions are given for the board itself, so check with your dog's paw size in mind. Wipe the surface with a dry cloth to clear dust and nail filings, and replace the board when the sandpaper is worn smooth.
