The best trimmer!!

Safely cuts my gsd x husky mix’s hard nails… Ergonomic, and gives a clean cut. Worth every penny!

This review only applies to dogs. Never tried it on a cat, or Mongolian tit mouse, etc. What a relief! Once adjusted to your pet's toenail size so the hole between the blades stops sliding up the nail well before the quick, the sharp blades cut through the nail without splintering. And because it is impossible to cut anything outside of the toenail inserted into the adjustable hole between the blades, no worries about cutting your pet's toes or stabbing their foot if they squirm around. And because it holds the nail to be cut in place and cuts quickly and cleanly, your pet has very little time to squirm out of position. One possible criticisms would be using the cutters as recommended leaves the nails a bit long. But it is so easy to cut them again, all you have to do is schedule nail trimming a bit more often. Another thing to note that really has nothing to do with the clippers themselves, is the clean nail cut leaves sharp edges that should be filed down a bit. I use a small battery powered grinder that is wimpy enough that there is very little chance of taking more material off then just the sharp edge of the cut nail. Such grinders get the surface of the nail hot enough to smell like burnt hair, so a wimpy one is a good choice for touch ups that will not scare your pet.

I purchased these because one of my dogs is scared of having her nails done with the dermal or any other type of clipper. They work great!! I was able to get two paws done before she even realized what I was doing. They are easy to “press” and do not make the loud clipping noise some do with larger dogs nails. My only complaint is I would like to be able to open them all the way so I don’t have to try to get her nail in the cutting area. The guard is a great feature but would like the option to also use without. Overall I would definitely recommend these and will purchase again.

ease of knowing how much nail to trim, and knowing if pup moves, he won't be nicked!
