About us

Patoune, in plain words.

We're a small French team making everyday care tools for animals. We started with the one moment almost every owner puts off: cutting their pet's nails.

Why we started

Ask any dog or cat owner how nail trimming goes and you always get the same answer. A struggle, a wriggle, sometimes blood, and a promise to do it next week.

The tool was the problem. A clipper cuts in one go: either you get it right, or you hurt your animal. There is no in-between, and no way back.

We looked for something gentler and mostly found loud, roughly finished machines. So we built the one we wanted: quiet, gradual, and impossible to rush.

How we work

  • 01

    One product at a time

    We would rather make one tool properly than fill a catalogue. Everything we sell, we use on our own animals first.

  • 02

    Gentle by design

    A tool that only works if the animal stays perfectly still is a badly designed tool. Ours works in short passes and stops the moment you do.

  • 03

    We answer our own emails

    There is no call centre here. When you write to us, someone from the team reads it and replies.

Where to find us

Patoune is based in France and ships to more than 40 countries. A question, a doubt, a nail that will not cooperate — write to us, we answer.
