Cat Declaw Laser Surgery

Cat versus Favorite Chair

Kittens and Cats scratch (period). In a purrfect world (pun intended) , kittens and cats would scratch a $10 Cat Scratching Post instead of a $400 Favorite Chair. Also, if your cat comes in contact with children, the cat may scratch a child’s face or arms just because the cat does not want to play. Often in order to keep peace in the family, the decision comes down to having the cat de-clawed or getting rid of the cat. If you decide to have the cat declawed, Cat Declaw Laser Surgery is less painful and heals quicker than old fashioned scalpel surgery.

Why does our Veterinary Practice use Laser Surgery?

A surgical laser can offer several advantages to a scalpel. As it cuts, the laser automatically seals small blood vessels and nerve endings around the cut, which means less bleeding and less pain. Patients typically experience a quicker return to their normal activities.

What age should a cat be declawed?

It’s best to declaw cats at a young age, about two to five months old. Younger cats tend to recover more quickly and adapt more easily to the loss of their claws. However, if the decision comes down to having the older cat de-clawed or getting rid of the older cat, we recommend declawing.

What happens after cat declawing ?

Most declawed cats will resume normal activities, including performing scratching motions. However, in the “Cat versus the $400 Favorite Chair” fight, the $400 Favorite Chair will walk away without a scratch.
