Guillotine Nail Clipper

Guillotine Nail Clipper

Some dogs love it and others loathe it but grooming your dog is vital to helping them to remain both healthy and clean. It is also an exceptionally good bonding activity. To aid this a long lasting, safe and sturdy nail clipper is essential. With this guillotine nail clipper your dog can enjoy/tolerate hours of quality grooming.

Ancol’s guillotine nail clipper has been manufactured using stainless steel and has an ergonomic handle to provide handle to aid grip, comfort and flexibility to the groomer.

The manufacturer recommends the following instructions for use:

To use, ensure your dog is calm and still. If your dog is new to having their claws trimmed, it may help to have another person present to hold your dog. Hold the dog’s toe firmly, keeping it still. Place the guillotine clipper over the very end of the claw, and close it to remove the end of the claw.

Important: Remove only the very end of the claw. Cutting too much of the claw can cut the quick (a vein that runs through the claw) causing pain. For dogs with dark claws, it is difficult to see the quick, try looking from underneath the claw. No matter how long the the claws are, proceed with caution and cut only the very end of the claw off. Long claws should be regularly clipped by small amounts to help the quick recede.
