How Scratch Square Turns Nail
Grooming into Playtime

At LA NPDT, we had the privilege of partnering with Debra Lo Franco, the founder of De’ Vora, to bring her innovative Scratch Square toy to market—a product designed to make pet grooming simpler and more enjoyable.

This unique dog toy not only entertains but also helps dogs trim their own nails as they play, solving a common and stressful problem for pet owners.

Scratch Square is a multi-functional toy that combines a treat dispenser with abrasive surfaces that naturally file a dog’s nails.

As dogs try to retrieve treats from inside, they scratch and paw at the toy’s surface, effectively trimming their nails without the anxiety or hassle of traditional grooming.

Made from durable rubber, the Scratch Square is also great for tug-of-war and chasing, offering versatility beyond nail care.

Our Role in Its Success

Debra Lo Franco came to us with a strong concept, and we collaborated across several phases to bring it to market: 

Thanks to the collaborative efforts between Debra Lo Franco, De’ Vora, and our team, the Scratch Square has become a bestseller, available through major retailers like Amazon, Chewy, QVC, Walmart, and Tractor Supply. The product’s success has led to an expanded line, including different sizes, replacement pads, and even a cat version

From Idea
to Market Leader

The Scratch Square has been featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Morning News, and Pet Business Magazine, earning accolades such as Top 40 Pet Products, Top 10 Favorite New Pet Products from SuperZoo, and Best in Show Award at the APPA’s Global Pet Expo.

Key Lessons

This project highlights the importance of partnering with the right experts to turn innovative ideas into successful, market-leading products.

 

While development costs may seem high initially, the result—like the Scratch Square, which solves real problems for pets and their owners—can create a lasting impact and provide a competitive edge.

 

For small businesses, introducing unique products like this helps attract attention and fuel growth.
