A Nail File for Pets and Their Owners. Craftsmanship Born from Tradition.

Yoshida Nail File Works, founded in the late Meiji era with approximately 120 years of history, launched "dogood," a nail file for pets and their owners, in late December 2021. This nail file for pets and owners showcases the traditional skills of Yoshida Nail File Works, which has inherited the metalworking techniques of Tsubame City, Niigata, dating back to the Edo period, and continues to produce simple, easy-to-use, high-quality nail files.

Born from the Request for a Pet Nail File, This Tool Works for All Animals with Claws.

"dogood," released by the approximately 120-year-old Yoshida Nail File Works, is a nail file for pets. The product was developed after a pet owner consulted them, seeking a nail file for their pet who would only allow their owner to touch their claws. It can be used on all animals with claws, including dogs, cats, and birds.

The file's teeth on "dogood" are deep and sharply cut. Utilizing traditional techniques, the teeth, meticulously spaced by artisans, minimize the vibrations that pets dislike when their nails are filed, allowing for effective filing with just a light touch. Furthermore, the V-shaped filing surface ensures the nail fits snugly into the grooves, enabling smooth, stable movements.

Moreover, many existing pet nail files suffered from rapid wear of the file teeth or weak joints between the filing surface and the handle, leading to breakage. To address these issues, only stainless steel was used, and the nail file was constructed with a robust, jointless structure. The file teeth are designed to resist wear even with prolonged use. Yoshida Nail File Works is confident in this creation, recommending it not only to pet owners but also to veterinarians and groomers.

Overgrown or freshly cut nails can pose a risk of injury to pets themselves and can also lead to unexpected accidents for owners. True to its concept of a "nail file for pets and their owners," this is a reliable item for the nail care of your beloved pets.
