For A Perfect Pooch Choose Guillotine Nail Clippers.

Dogs can have the need for a regular manicure probably more than humans do; hence the need for trimmers.

Without nail care in dogs, they can break and causing bleeding.

Of course, as your dog relies on his paws to function, they have to be kept healthy.

If you hear your dog's nails making a sound on hard floors, it's time for a trim. You have two choices about what to do - do it yourself or go down the professional route.

If you choose the DIY option, make sure you are prepared!

Invest in a high quality set of trimmers, and ensure you know exactly where to cut the nail.

If you don't prepare you may end up with a dog with a sore foot and a lifelong hatred of having his nails trimmed.

Everyone knows how sore it is when you cut your nail too low - the same goes for dogs, so it is important to know where the nerve starts. You need to cut below the quick, which is easy to identify by the end of the pink color.

Firstly let's look at the equipment; Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are a great solution, as they are designed with the user in mind with non-slip, low impact grip so your hand won't get tired and you won't lose your grip even if it's wet. The sharp blades mean that trimming is easy and safe.

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

The best position is to sit with your dog in your lap taking his paw in your hand.

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.

After the majority of the work has been done, it is time to tidy up any uneven edges.

Clearly extreme caution must be taken when trimming the nails, otherwise you may snip a very sensitive area of your dog's foot, and he won't thank you for it!

If by accident you do manage to cut the quick use Gimborn Kwik Stop Styptic Gel with Benzocaine to stop bleeding immediately.

Perfect for your family pets or even for use in a pro dog grooming salon, Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are a great product.

They are a great investment too as they are designed to last, and perform well with a lifetime guarantee.

The trimmers are great both for the dog, with sharp blades to make nail trimming stress free, and good for the owner with the ergonomic design to reduce stress on the body or the chance of accidents.
