 Too big for small dogs Jun 19, 2009
By SC
These are very well made clippers, sturdily built, with a sharp blade, and nice grips on the handles. The addition of a file and styptic powder were a great idea, and come in very handy. Unfortunately, the blade itself is so wide that I cannot position it well between the curved nail and the pad on my dog's little paws (and she's not even really tiny- she's 15 lbs). I tried to hold it sideways, but the angle came out all wrong, and I cut the quick a couple of times (thus, the file and styptic came in handy). For a medium-sized dog, these are great clippers, but I definitely wouldn't recommend for small or toy breeds.

Good but a few caveats... May 28, 2009
By Kimmy in Valencia
I ordered the small size to use on 2 dogs:
*an 11 pound Papillon mix
*and a 4 pound Maltese.
Pros:
*gives a better, cleaner cut than the guillotine-style cutters
*fairly inexpensive with good grip handles
*comes with a file and styptic powder
Cons:
*it was still too big to use on the small Maltese. Since her nail grows sort of curved -- into the nail pad, there was no room to make a cut without either cutting her nail pad or way into the quick.
I ended up using a nail file and toenail clippers on her. Alot more work but at least I was assured that her quick wouldn't get cut.
*The nail file/styptic powder idea is a good one -- fits right into the handle. But lacks in practicality. The powder comes in a tiny little plastic bag that is twisted up to fit into the nail file. So after opening it, and trying to get the powder into the container was difficult. I emptied the powder onto a piece of paper and tried to use the paper as a funnel to get the powder in. Still a mess. You're better off just buying a small container of styptic powder.
Also, the nail file is again, a handy idea but it's not really usable for tiny dogs because the file portion doesn't extend to the edge...
All in all, I give it 3 stars because I don't think it's worth buying if you have a tiny breed (ie small Maltese) but seems to work well on the medium sized dog.
I think I will look into the electrical rotary took for the little one.

 Very satisfy! Jul 04, 2008
By Claire
As a first time dog owner, I am extremely satisfied with this clipper. It is sharp and very easy to use on my shih tzu. Each cut is very smooth and precise.

Best Dog Nail Clipper Dec 28, 2011
By ruthie
I finally found a dog nail clipper that is durable and does a firm cut with a very sharp blade. I feel secure when I use it on my chihuahua, because it doesn't grab on the nail and the cut is over right away. I totally recommend it!

Better than guillotine Mar 27, 2009
By Aqualyn
More accurate than the guillotine style so my small dog isn't afraid to have his nails clipped any more. Works great for even my tiny Pomeranian puppy.
