Healthy Nails, Happier Pets With Gentle Care

A pet’s nails may seem like a small detail, but they play a critical role in their comfort, health, and mobility. Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect posture, and even lead to long-term joint issues. At Oui Paws Pet Salon, we’ve spent over 20 years perfecting nail clipping services that go beyond trimming. Our approach is focused on safety, precision, and compassion, ensuring pets remain comfortable throughout the process. Nail clipping isn’t just routine maintenance—it’s a foundation for your pet’s overall wellness and happiness.


We proudly offer expert grooming in Huntington Beach, California, and also welcome pet owners from nearby areas, including Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Westminster, and Newport Beach. Being part of Orange County’s active, coastal community means pets often enjoy long walks, beach outings, and outdoor play. These activities can make nail maintenance even more essential, as sand, pavement, and uneven terrain put extra pressure on paws. Our nail clipping services are designed to address these local challenges, ensuring every pet stays comfortable and healthy, no matter their lifestyle.


Our nail clipping solutions are tailored for both dogs and cats, regardless of breed or size. Whether it’s a nervous puppy, a senior cat, or an energetic dog, we use gentle techniques and professional tools to provide stress-free care. Combined with a calm environment and skilled handling, the result is safer nails, healthier paws, and happier pets. At Oui Paws Pet Salon, we believe every detail matters—and healthy nails mean healthier pets.

Our Nail Clipping Services

Standard Nail Trimming

Our standard nail trimming keeps your pet’s nails at the right length, preventing pain, breakage, and mobility issues. Using professional tools and careful techniques, we make the process quick, safe, and stress-free—an essential part of maintaining your pet’s overall paw health and comfort.

Nail Grinding for Smooth Finish

After trimming, nail grinding creates a smooth, rounded edge, reducing sharp tips that could scratch floors, furniture, or family members. With specialized tools, we gently buff nails for a polished, safe, and comfortable finish, giving pets healthier paws and owners peace of mind.

Puppy and Kitten Nail Care

Young pets grow quickly, and their nails often require frequent care. Our puppy and kitten nail trimming uses gentle handling and patient techniques, ensuring every experience is positive. Introducing nail care early helps pets build trust, reduces fear, and sets the foundation for lifelong grooming comfort.

Senior Pet Nail Services

Older pets often struggle with overgrown nails, leading to discomfort and difficulty walking. Our senior pet nail services focus on safety, comfort, and stress-free handling. By accommodating sensitive paws and slower movements, we help senior pets stay mobile, healthy, and pain-free with regular care.

Paw Pad Cleaning and Care

Healthy paws mean healthier pets. Along with nail clipping, we gently clean paw pads to remove dirt, debris, or irritants that may cause infections or discomfort. This complete care approach keeps paws clean, soft, and in excellent condition for everyday walking, running, or playing.

Maintenance Packages

Active pets often require more frequent nail trims. Our maintenance packages provide consistent care on a schedule tailored to your pet’s lifestyle. Regular trims help maintain paw health, prevent painful overgrowth, and keep nails in optimal condition year-round, ensuring pets stay comfortable, active, and mobile.

Benefits of Nail Clipping

Improved Comfort and Mobility

Properly clipped nails reduce pain from overgrowth and ease strain on paws. Pets walk and run more naturally, with improved balance and comfort. Nail clipping promotes smooth mobility, allowing your companion to enjoy daily activities freely without discomfort, stress, or risk of injury.

Prevention of Injuries

Long nails can snag on carpets, furniture, or outdoor surfaces, causing breaks or tears. Regular nail clipping greatly reduces these risks, keeping pets safe during play or exercise. This simple preventive step avoids painful accidents that could otherwise lead to costly veterinary visits.

Protection for Your Home

Overgrown nails may scratch hardwood floors, tear upholstery, or accidentally harm family members. Trimming nails regularly prevents such issues, keeping both pets and households safe. Healthy nails protect your home environment, ensuring pets remain well-groomed while reducing damage to furniture, flooring, and personal belongings.

Reduced Risk of Joint Problems

When nails grow too long, pets alter their posture to walk, placing strain on joints and paws. Over time, this unnatural gait can cause arthritis or mobility issues. Regular nail clipping ensures proper alignment, reducing stress on the musculoskeletal system and promoting long-term comfort.

Early Detection of Paw Issues

Nail clipping offers an opportunity to examine paws closely. Groomers may identify cracked nails, infections, or irritations between pads. Early detection prevents minor issues from escalating into painful conditions, ensuring pets remain comfortable and healthy with timely attention to hidden paw concerns.

Reduced Stress for Pets

Pets accustomed to nail clipping experience less anxiety during grooming. Gentle handling, routine visits, and familiarity help reduce fear, turning the process into a positive experience. Regular care ensures pets benefit physically while feeling safe, secure, and comfortable during every session.
