Perfect Nails Made Easy By Guillotine Nail Trimmers.
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.
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 doing it yourself is your style, remember a couple of vital rules.
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.
Dogs have tough feet but the quick of the nail is still very tender, so you need to have a good idea of the limit of how high to cut. On paler and clear nails the quick is clearly visible by its pink color, it is trickier with dark nails.
Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are the correct tools for the job too. Safe and efficient clippers, with an ergonomic, plastic handle that is easy to grip and won't slip or wear out your hand. 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.
Next let's look at the procedure for cutting nails.
Take your dogs paw in your hand firmly - it's often best to have the dog tucked under your arm.
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.
Finish the nails off by checking you haven't left sharp or uneven edges.
It's so important to trim the nail carefully as you can seriously hurt your dog with a slip of the hand - and you will know about it!
If by accident you do manage to cut the quick use Gimborn Kwik Stop Styptic Gel with Benzocaine to stop bleeding immediately.
These trimmers are great for home or salon use. A pair of Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers will last a good time too as they are made to last and perform well.
They are a great investment too as they are designed to last, and perform well with a lifetime guarantee.
Both dog and owner will be delighted to get a manicure with these safe and effective trimmers. -->
