The Best Dog Nail Clippers Are Guillotine Trimmers.

It is vital to keep a dog’s nails trimmed short enough.

Overly long nails in humans are annoying but in dogs they can split and break causing bleeding paws.

Your dog’s paws need to be kept in tip top condition as he uses them all the time.

There’s an easy way to know if your dog is overdue nail clipping and that is the sound of click-click-click of the nails on hard floors. You can take your dog to a professional groomer for a manicure, or you can do it yourself.

There are a few vital things to bear in mind if you are going to do it yourself.

You need the right equipment and you need to have some knowledge of the anatomy of your dog’s paw.

If you try to cut corners you may end up cutting your dog’s paw by accident.

The quick is the area to watch for when you trim your dog’s nails, you should cut below this. It is easy with dogs with transparent or light coloured nails but harder with dark nails so take care!

Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are the correct tools for the job too.

Some dogs find nail clipping stressful, so the ultra sharp blades of the Guillotine Nail Clippers make the cutting as easy and stress-free as possible, even with tough nails.

Now we are going to talk about how to cut nails.

It is often best to sit with your dog in your lap, holding his paw firmly, but not roughly.

Get the nail clearly in view by pressing on the “toe”, identify the quick and trim nail at a 45 degree angle. Take off slivers each time, don’t be too ambitious.

Once the major clipping has been done, taking care not to trim the nails too short, check the edges for jagged or rough edges and tidy.

Really take care when trimming your pet’s nails; imagine how vulnerable you would feel with someone cutting your toenails!
