"They worked excellent, Emmy is also a hater of the clippers but when I used these they were sharp and efficient in clipping her thick nails If she had the cartoon bubble it would say "whaaaaat just happened" lol I was impressed with this product"

— Kristie

"This product seemed like a good idea - sharp, less pressure needed to cut even thicker nails, won't cut the quick because of how the size is set. Advertised as safe even if your pet moves. The first nail I went to cut, my boy pulled away and ripped his nail in half. Because of the way the product is..."
