Highlighted Reviews

β€” Kathleen

"Sharp enough to clip fairly easily. He isn’t a fan of nail clipping, so I only can do one nail before letting him escape, but he is allowing me to do that one! That’s a huge improvement."

β€” Vickie

"Purchased two new nail clippers & neither pair worked out. This pair tool small & the corresponding clipper was tool big."
