Nail Trims Without the Wrestling Match
Most dogs do not mind the clipper as much as they mind being pinned down. The MATERA PET Grooming Hammock is a soft fabric sling that holds your dog or cat comfortably off the table, legs through two openings, so the paws are free and still at the same time. You keep both hands for the clippers, and your pet gets a supported, calm position instead of a struggle on the floor.
At a Glance
- The MATERA PET Grooming Hammock is a fabric restraint sling that holds a dog or cat during nail trimming, paw cleaning and brushing.
- It is made for small and medium dogs and for cats; it is not designed for large or heavy breeds.
- It comes in three sizes: S (26.0 x 19.3 in), M (30.3 x 21.7 in) and L (33.5 x 23.6 in), in Blue, Grey or Pink.
- The hammock weighs 6.2 to 9.5 oz depending on the size and hangs from two metal eyelets.
- The box contains one hammock; the hooks and bar shown in the photos are not included.
- Every order ships with tracking, and returns are free for 30 days.
Key Features
- Both hands free for the clippers - the sling carries your pet's weight, so you no longer need one arm to hold and the other to trim.
- Paws presented at a natural angle - two bound leg openings let the front and hind legs hang through, putting every paw within easy reach.
- Soft against the body - double-layer, plush-feel fabric wraps the chest and belly with no buckles or hard edges.
- Hangs in seconds - two metal eyelets at the top corners slip onto S-hooks, a sturdy bar or a grooming arm.
- Three sizes for small and medium pets - from 26 to 33.5 inches wide, covering toy breeds and cats up to small-to-medium dogs.
- Useful beyond nail day - the same hold works for wiping muddy paws, trimming paw-pad hair and brushing the legs.
- Light and easy to store - under 10 oz in every size, it folds flat into a drawer between sessions.
Choosing Your Size
Choose by leg spacing rather than by breed name. With your pet standing, measure from the back of the front legs to the front of the hind legs, then pick the size whose leg-opening spacing is closest. Between two sizes, take the larger one for a looser, more comfortable wrap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pet grooming hammock used for?
A grooming hammock is a fabric sling that holds a dog or cat just above the table while you trim nails, clean paws or brush the legs. The legs pass through two openings, so the paws stay within reach while the body is supported and still.
Which size should I choose for my dog?
Measure your pet standing, from the back of the front legs to the front of the hind legs, and pick the size with the closest leg-opening spacing: about 10 in for S, 12 in for M and 14 in for L. If your pet falls between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Can I use it with a cat?
Yes. The S size suits most cats, especially calm ones that already accept being lifted. Introduce it slowly, keep the first sessions short and keep one hand under the chest until your cat settles.
Are the hooks included?
No. The hammock ships on its own, and the hooks and bar in the photos are there for display. Two sturdy S-hooks, a solid bar or a grooming arm will hold it by its two metal eyelets.
Is it safe to leave my pet in the hammock?
Never leave a pet unattended while it is suspended. Hang the hammock low so the paws sit just above the table, stay within arm's reach, and lift your pet out at the first sign of distress or difficult breathing.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
Every order ships with tracking and usually arrives in 4 to 10 business days. Returns are free within 30 days.
In the box: 1 grooming hammock in the size and color you choose. Tip: let your pet sniff and sit in the hammock with a few treats for a day or two before the first nail trim. Shake out loose hair after each session, hand-wash in cool water and air dry.
