ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and assemblies for dulling animal claws using corrugated material and abrasive surfaces. An animal, such as cat, will instinctively claw at the corrugated material and contact the abrasive surfaces, thereby simultaneously dulling or trimming its claws. Methods are also provided to dull animal claws, including inducing the animal to claw at the corrugated material with an organic substance.
