Such a clever idea
Honestly didn't expect him to enjoy it this much. I put a few treats in the drawer and he starts scratching away. We've had it for about two weeks and it's been working really well for his front nails.

Bought the Pro Kit specifically for the adjustable incline stand. It helped my older dog learn without straining his neck. The two spare grit sheets are a huge bonus too. Highly recommend the upgrade.

My lab mix has completely black nails and I always lived in fear of hitting the quick. This board files them down safely and it's so much easier than clippers. The free tracked shipping was fast too.

The 1-inch deep drawer is the perfect size. I put a handful of small training treats in there and it keeps my dog engaged just long enough to file down his front nails.

Ordered the Classic and it shipped in 2 days. The layered wood looks great and the black grit files the nails down quickly. The free US shipping was a nice bonus.
S
It's about the size of a laptop which makes it easy to slide under the couch when not in use. The layered wood frame is really nice quality and doesn't look cheap at all.
C
I was ready to give up because my dog ignored it at first. But I read the free step-by-step guide that came with the order and did a few short training sessions. Now she scratches like a pro!
D
The board itself seems well made, but my chihuahua is too light to create enough friction. She just kind of paws at it gently. I think this is better for medium or large dogs.
J
It works exactly as advertised. It's about laptop-sized (13.8 x 9.8 in) so it's not massive, but it is a little bulky to store in my small apartment. Still, it's a great tool to have.
B
It works well for the first few weeks but the black grit does wear smooth. I wish you could buy the replacement grit sheets separately without buying the Pro Kit. Still effective while it lasts.
A
I have a black lab and I'm always terrified of cutting the quick. This board files the nail down gradually so there's no risk of bleeding. A must-have for black-nailed dogs.
M
The layered wood smells nice and is well finished. It doesn't splinter. My lab uses it daily. It's a great way to keep her nails filed without the noise of the dremel.
N
It's a good idea, but my dog only uses her front paws. Her back nails are still super long. If you're looking for a complete solution, this isn't it. But it's good for front nail maintenance.
E
I was skeptical but this actually works. The grit files the nails down gently without the risk of cutting the quick. My dog thinks it's just a game. No more wrestling!

The Classic is $54.99 which is way cheaper than a year of groomer visits. It shipped in 2 days and arrived quickly. The free step-by-step guide was super helpful for training.

I bought the Pro Kit mainly for the spare grit sheets because my dog scratches aggressively. The incline stand was a nice surprise—I started it flat and raised it as he got better. He loves it. Great value for $74.99.
S
My 3-year-old rescue terrier has always been terrified of clippers. We tried this board and within 15 minutes he was enthusiastically scratching for the treats. The locking lid is a lifesaver because he can't just nose it open. No more stress!
M
The board is well made and my lab took to it quickly. It files the front nails down nicely. Just a heads up as the description says, it doesn't do much for the dewclaws or the back paws, so I still use a grinder occasionally.
H
It works exactly as described. It files the front nails down perfectly. As the honest bits section said, the back nails are still an issue, so I have to use a grinder occasionally for those. Still a great tool.
E
This board is amazing for the front paws. As the description honestly points out, it doesn't do much for the back nails. I still use a clipper for the back ones, but this saves me the wrestling match for the front!

My terrier would scream bloody murder at the sound of the dremel. This is completely silent. Just scratching and treats. It took a few training sessions but now she's a pro.
E
The concept is great and my dog enjoys the puzzle, but the non-slip pads aren't enough for my slick tile floors. I have to hold the board down with my foot. The black grit also started wearing smooth after a few weeks.
N
At $54.99 this thing pays for itself in two groomer visits. The wood is high quality and the locking lid on the Classic is essential for my smart pup. Love it.
J
It’s about laptop-sized (13.8 x 9.8 in) which is perfect for my spaniel. I do have to hold it steady because the non-slip pads don't grip my vinyl plank flooring very well, but the grit works great.
D
My corgi hates having his paws touched. I put a piece of jerky in the 1-inch drawer and he went to town. His nails have never looked better and he thinks it's just a game. Worth every penny.
L
My dog has no idea this is a grooming tool. He just thinks it's a puzzle box that gives him treats. His nails have never been smoother. The free guide was super helpful.
E
The product is well made, but my dog was super confused by it at first. I highly recommend reading the free step-by-step guide they send, otherwise your dog will just stare at it like mine did for the first two days.
J
My vet recommended a scratch board because my shepherd mix has black nails and I'm always terrified of cutting the quick. This removes that fear completely. It files them down safely.

Found a promo code online and got an extra 10% off which made this an absolute steal. My aussie figured out the locking drawer quickly. The 1-inch deep drawer holds a good amount of treats.
