Nail Clipper – Blue

Nail Clipper – Blue

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 these nail clippers your dog can enjoy/tolerate hours of quality grooming.

Ancol’s ergonomic nail clipper has been manufactured using stainless steel and has a tempered blade. There is an indent nail guide to ensure accurate clipping and there is a safety mechanism.

The nail clippers measure approximately 24cm x 10cm x 2cm (9.5″ x 4″ x 1″) with the larger clippers recommended for medium sized dogs and above.

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. Open the clippers by pulling the safety catch downwards. The scissors have a guard which can be used to ensure only a small amount of nail is cut. Place the 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 rat 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 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.
