Highlighted Reviews
"I've always used the guillotine style clippers but bought these on a whim and they are fantastic. They cut right through my german shepard/retriever mix's hard nails and leave a smooth edge."
"It's heavy duty, the tip is wide, best used on a big dog. It was difficult to fit the tip between my dog's toes to get hold of her nails easily. It was an unpleasant experience for my dog. I clipped two of her nails, and that was enough for me. It also didn't make the cleanest cut, it left loose pie..."
