The nail scratch board is designed primarily for front paws — which are where most nail problems start.
Front nails grow faster, cause the most scratching damage (to floors, furniture, and skin), and are typically the hardest to trim because dogs resist handling them.
Rear nails, on the other hand, naturally wear down more from walking and running and usually don’t overgrow as quickly. Most customers use the board as an easy, stress-free way to maintain front nails, with only occasional touch-ups needed for the back paws if necessary.
