Treat Reward Nail Scratch Board
Description
Make nail care feel more like play with the Treat Reward Nail Scratch Board — a wooden scratch board that lets your dog gradually file their own nails while working toward a reward hidden inside.
The entire top is covered in sandpaper, so every paw and scratch helps wear down the nail tips a little at a time. Under the sliding lid is a built-in treat box that gives your dog a reason to keep coming back.
- Helps gradually file nails while your dog scratches
- Built-in treat box encourages natural pawing
- No clippers or holding paws still
- Solid wooden body with full sandpaper surface
- Simple flat design with no setup required
