Special Spring: For this Dog Nail Clipper with Nail File, Cat Nail Clipper and Claw Cutters you don't need to use your strength to cut your Pet's Claws. Safety Guard Put a Stop to Nails From Being Cut Too Deep For dogs that hate having their nails cut, we’ll grind them. Yes, it takes longer but much less traumatizing for them.

You can remove the guard cap once you get used to grinding your dog’s nails which speeds up the process. When your dog is standing or sitting with its front legs on the ground, their claws should not touch the ground either. If they do, it's time to trim them.

Once you've done one paw, it's best to stop and take a break so your cat doesn't get too stressed in one go. Give them a treat or play their favourite game as a reward if that's what they want, but they may prefer to just slip out and be by themselves for a while. Repeat for the best of the paws

You’ll usually have to take your guillotine nail clippers apart to access the blade. You’ll also need to use a specialised sharpening rod. This is a long, thin, and rounded sharpening tool that fits in the curve of the nail clippers. The coating on the rod contains diamonds or similar materials to sharpen the blade. The diamond bit grinding wheels spin at 7,500rpm for fast and efficient grinding. It also features a guard cap with different-sized ports for different-sized claws. From the small claws to the largest. Some dogs may dislike the pressure on the nail that comes with traditional clippers, and may be more comfortable with the sanding mechanism of a grinder. Equally, some dogs may dislike the sound or vibrations of this method. The best type of clipper depends on the preference of each dog. Bypass’ or ‘scissor’ dog nail clippers have two sharp curved blades that move against each other – much like a pair of scissors or secateurs. You may also see this type called ‘plier’ nail clippers. These can either be sprung like secateurs, or not – like scissors – but they work in much the same way. They can be great for precise cuts, and on highly curved or small nails, but the spring ones work well in larger nails too. However, they blunt easily, and there’s no easy way to sharpen the blades, meaning you’ll have to replace the nail clippers entirely. Ergonomic And Easy To Use:Ergonomically designed non-slip handles are strong,lightweight,and comfortable. Comfort-grip, anti-slip handles fit easily in your hand and are designed to stop hand and wrist strain

Can you use human nail clippers on dogs?

Guillotine’ nail clippers have a stationary blade (usually a hole or ‘ring’ shape) and one moving one (the ‘guillotine’) which slices the nail when you squeeze the handles. They make a straight cut, which can be really handy to avoid making your dog’s nail bleed. However, this straight cut can make life harder if a nail needs cutting at an angle. It’s also harder to get the dog nail clippers into position on little nails or highly curved nails. How to use guillotine dog nail clippers When choosing your dog nail clippers, you might have noticed several different types. Although they all look different, they fall into two main categories: the ‘bypass’, or ‘scissor’ type and the ‘guillotine’ type. There are also non-cutting types – like nail grinders and nail files– which may work well for some dogs. Most people do not take very good care of their nail clippers, but sharp clippers will be easier to cut with and cause less damage to your dog’s nails.

There are three main types of dog nail clippers to choose from: guillotine clippers, plier-style clippers, or a grinder. Unlike the other types of clipper, a grinder uses a rough, spinning surface to sand down dogs’ nails, rather than cutting them. Grinding a dog’s nails also takes longer. 5-10 minutes instead of a couple of minutes with clippers. You’ll also need to desensitize your dog to the sound and vibration. Long nails can snag clothing and get caught on furniture. Our professional-grade Dog Nail Clippers help you keep nails at a suitable length.If you do manage to cut your dogs nails with no issues, clippers can leave sharp edges. They can hurt if your dog scratches you. The Pros and Cons of Nail Grinders To start with, nail clippers are at least half the price of nail grinders (not that grinders are expensive).
