Knobby customer!
who USED to be very UNHAPPY about nail trims!
And his nails have to look good -
he's a dog actor that appears in movies and on television!
Why choose a Knobby Nail File?
Knobby Nail Files are carefully handcrafted in the USA.
Made to last a lifetime, with its rugged construction and large, durable, highly efficient, super coated aluminum oxide corundum filing surface -which is replaceable! That's why it's called the "Forever File".
The comfortable, smooth handle is positioned to give you unmatched filing power and control.
Has a large filing surface that allows you to file multiple nails at once, or to, just as easily, focus on a single nail or dewclaw.
Completely safe and simple to use, and is wonderful for nervous owners and nervous dogs who may have had previous bad experiences with nail care.
A real help for owners with less than perfect eyesight - with the large filing surface, your "aim" doesn't have to be as perfect! And the large handle is easier on arthritic hands.
Great option for dogs that are terrified of nail clippers and grinders. Many previously scared dogs don't react to the Knobby at all!
Easy solution for doing the hind feet of "scratch board" trained dogs. The Knobby is like a small, hand held, scratch board to finish the job!
Helpful if you are working on getting your dog's quicks to recede. A few strokes of a Knobby on each nail daily, and you'll soon see positive results.
While you can certainly find a cheaper, mass produced, ordinary nail file, it won't give you and your dog the lifetime of superior performance you'll get with a Knobby Nail File.
Knobby Care and Tips
Caring for your Knobby
Store your Knobby files safely out of reach of pets and children!
You don't want your Knobby turned into a chew toy by your dog, or a weapon of destruction by your kid. (true story - when I was a wee child, I found an emery board and filed the television screen with it!)
Keep your Knobby file dry!
Use the enclosed brush to clean the filing surface and use a soft cloth, if needed, to wipe the handle. Do not soak, submerge or wash the file.
Replacing the filing disc
If you ever wear out the filing disc, it's easy to replace. Just carefully peel the gold filing disc off, without damaging the black layer of "hook" fastener that is underneath. Then just press the new filing disc on. The "loop" fastener on the back of the disc will hold it securely in place.
Tips for Use
Your dog's nails will be slightly softer
and easier to file after being out in damp grass, snow, rain, or after a bath.
Try to do your filing sessions wherever
your dog is most comfortable and relaxed - on the bed, couch, floor, grooming table or wherever they are happiest.
Go SLOW if your dog is nervous,
or has had previous bad experiences.
A Lick-It mat can be a good distraction and reward for your dog while filing.
Take your time and keep sessions short.
Remember the Big 3 - Lots of praise, Lots of patience and Lots of treats!
In the beginning, you may want to give a treat each time you touch a nail.

This product is brilliant!!!
My BC absolutely HATES to have his nails trimmed! He pretends he has no paws and we're rolling all about trying to find his paws. It's traumatic...for us both! So, I've been taking him to either a groomer or the vet to have his nails done... no problem there.. but $$$. I tried a dremel - that was a no. I mean to tell you, he didn't even flinch at this product! I should seriously make a video of me trying to trim his nails with a traditional clipper and me using this - a day and night difference! We're not wrestling and everyone is happy! Absolutely brilliant!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! I wish I invented this. This is a life saver!

Love your product!
I am a retired Veterinary Technician and I gotta say I love it! I have been telling my dog friends about them. My Terv is fussy with her back feet, I can clip her nails, but it takes patience. However I can file her nails while she is chewing on a bully stick and no fussing at all! Thanks for the great idea!
