We trim Orions nails as needed, and we only ever cut the sharpest points off, since we wrestle so much with him, and don't want to be shredded.
ANyways, we use a sharp blade, and the cutters where you put thier nail in the little hole and squeeze the handle, since I heard those are the best to use. Recently, though, when we cut them, they crack and split down the sides. The blade is still sharp, we even tried getting a brand new cutter, but our old blade was even sharper than the new one..so we're at a loss.
I don't want to hurt his little paws with those split nails. Could it be a deficieny of some sort? He's a good eater..gets Meow Mix, and Fancy Feast, or those Whiskas bits...so I'm not feeding him any cheapo stuff, yanno?
Is there maybe something I should supplement his diet with to make his nails not split? Or a product to try?
