All about this product

Product description

These plier-style clippers are built for trimming nails at home. A stainless steel blade makes a clean cut, and a built-in safety guard sits over the blade so you can see how much nail you are taking off and stop before you cut too short.

The handle has a non-slip grip and a spring that opens the jaws after each snip, which keeps the motion steady when your pet will not hold still. At about 5.5 inches (14 cm) long and 1.8 inches (4.6 cm) wide, the tool is easy to hold in one hand while you steady a paw with the other. It suits cats, puppies and other small to medium pets.

To use it, hold the paw gently, slide one nail into the guard and trim a little at a time, taking the tip only. Work in a quiet spot and keep treats close, especially for a first session. Because the jaws are sized for small nails, this is not the tool for the thick nails of a large dog; pick a heavier-duty clipper for those. Wipe the blade clean after each use and store the clippers dry.

Why we chose it

The guard over the blade gives you a clear stopping point, which helps first-time trimmers keep cuts short and even.

Common questions

Can I use these on a large dog?

They are made for cats, puppies and small to medium pets. Large dogs with thick nails will do better with a heavier-duty clipper.

What does the safety guard do?

It sits over the blade so you can see where the cut will land and stop before taking off too much nail.

How do I clean them?

Wipe the blade and handle with a damp cloth, dry them fully and store them somewhere dry.

Are they comfortable to hold?

The handle has a non-slip grip and a spring return, so the clippers stay steady in one hand.
