"Works great! I work in the vet clinic, and we use the same ones there for small animals."

— Jean

"I tried to cut four different guinea pig's toenails with this trimmer. It was NOT a good experience. My son was helping me hold the animals while I did the cutting. It took us over two hours. Not what I call a very big assistance with the job. I do NOT look forward to the next time I have to do..."
