A: Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital does not perform declaw procedures.
Declawing is not just a nail trim. It is a surgical procedure that removes part of the cat’s toe, and it can lead to pain, behavior changes, litter box issues, and long-term discomfort for some cats.
Instead, we recommend humane alternatives such as regular nail trims, scratching posts, scratch pads, nail caps, and helping redirect scratching behavior to appropriate surfaces. If your cat is scratching furniture or you are having trouble trimming nails at home, please contact us. We are happy to help you find safer options for your cat.
