"Bought for my mom because she liked mine. Great that the heads are interchangeable and replaceable. Love the guard and the fact it is easy to use. My dog has conjoined toes so clipping the usual way does NOT work. This product was the easiest way to keep those nails trim and no fear of hurting him."

He hates anyone/anything near his paws.. we have him since he..."
