— Valerie

"These are nice to hold, but about 4 months into my routine on my own dog once or twice a month they became so dull that they pinched his toes and he started snapping at me..he used to give me his feet, he still would but now I understand how quick it was to pain him and stopped trimming his nails. ..."
