Millers Forge Pet Nail Clipper

I have never clipped a dogs nails in my life,and so I was a little nervous,that's why I chose these clippers with the guide. It gave me an idea of where to cut ,but I still cut one nail a little short because the dog yelped. I put flour on it and a little pressure and it stopped instantly though. I just need a little more experience,I believe,but the clippers are very good at clipping .

I think these are a sturdy design, but the blades are not sharpened to a thin enough edge, so they work more like a nutcracker. You have to put a lot of force on them to get through the nail, and my dogs don't like the pinching. Might be okay if your dog has soft, white nails.

I have a pair of these that I have had for 10+ years. They still cut quick & smooth, no snags, easy to view while clipping and protective back stop if you need it. I was a dog groomer for 5 years in my late teens, early 20's and I have gotten used to professional instruments. Nothing at pet smart would satisfy me so I went looking for these! So glad I did, a great, long lasting, quality product! I'm sold!!!
