The science behind Scratch Square.

Dog nails need to be trimmed every 2-3 weeks, but clipping nails can lead to anxiety, aggressiveness, and even permanent fear in your dog. Neglecting the nails can lead to DJD, arthritis, and overgrowth. (PetMD)


Clipping allows the "quick" to grow out, whereas having them files their own nails caps and receeds the "quick," reducing maintenance.


Scratch Square makes it easy to keep your dog entertained AND sharp nails under control!

A Perfect Size for Your Dog

Debra created Scratch Square for Trevor in 2018, after he had a horrible experience at the groomer, which resulted in him being deathly afraid of all attempts to trim his nails.


Searching for another method, Debra learned there wasn’t a suitable grooming option for Trevor without medical sedation. Debra discovered that Trevor’s natural instincts would have him claw at an object to open it up.


It took 2 years of design and material testing to come up with the perfect multi-function, stress-free dog puzzle, that also trims nails.


We’re proud to finally share Scratch Square with the world!

F&Q's

    What Kick comes on Scratch Square?

    Scratch Square comes with the "File" abrasion; this is a great starting point for pets that have just had their claws trimmed or for puppies who's "quicks" are not fully developed. 


      How do you replace Kicks on the Scratch Square? 

      De' Vora Kicks are on velcro. The easiest way is to use a pen or butter knife to go in between the hook & loop material. It's industrial strength velcro so it takes a bit to work it off. Learn more here.

        How do the back paws get filed on the Scratch Square for Dogs? 

        Scratch Square was designed to address the front claws; reducing or in some cases eliminating the need for restrictive grooming. The cool thing is, we have found that when the front nails are properly maintained the back nail ware naturally. Similarly to how animals maintain their nails in the wild. 


          How do you prevent your dog from chewing on the square? (I'm worried its going to damage his teeth)

          There are a couple different ways to help with this! 


          Scratch Square is a "tool" disguised as a "toy" so monitoring play and taking it away after play sessions are recommended.


          Your dog will EXPLORE Scratch Squares, however they normally will not continually "Chew" on the sandpaper surface. If this occurs please redirect your pet and/ or take the toy away immediately. 


          To NOT encourage chewing but to encourage Scratching, tossing, and chasing, start off with small treats that fall out easily. You can even mix it up with all different size treats! 


          Let your pet know they are doing a great job when you see or hear the "Scratching sound"! 


          Lastly, feel free to tug with them or stand on the handle to create resistance; as a means of interaction and reinforcement of Scratching. 


          Is this a US product? 

          All De' Vora products are designed in the United States and the products are manufactured around the world. We believe in strengthening our community through safe and fair working conditions. Our products are built with quality that meets our high expectations. Therefore, we take pride in our ability to deliver only the best when it comes to our brand.

          I ordered two scratch squares, since I have two dogs. We only received one and when I emailed, I never received a response or a second scratch square, or a refund for a second scratch square. Both dogs love it, and we love the shorter nails, just frustrating that they can't both use one at the same time (and that we paid for something that we never received).

          Scratch pad should be larger for price and weight class of the dog it doesn’t give them much scratch areas

          I love it! My dog loves it!

          Moochie's nails are all black, and trying to cut them is scary because I don't want to cut the quick. I have to pay $24 at my vet to get her nails trimmed, but when they bring her back to me, I can't tell anything has been clipped. (I guess they are afraid of cutting the quick too.) It didn't take long for Moochie to figure out how to use the Scratch Square. She loves her treats and she goes to town scratching and throwing it around to get them to drop! Now I can definitely tell her front nails are shorter. This is a great toy and tool. So happy I found it thanks to @ataleof2pitties.
