How it works: As a guillotine-style nail trimmer, the Resco Pet Nail Trimmer has a stationary ring through which the nail is placed, and a cutting blade that moves up to slice off the nail when the handles of the trimmer are squeezed.
Cautions: Always be careful not to cut too close to the “quick” which contains nerves and blood vessels. It is painful and will bleed easily. On light-colored claws, the quick is the pink section and is easier to see. You cannot see the quick on dark-colored claws, making them more difficult to trim without cutting into the quick. Cut dark colored claws in several small cuts to reduce the chance of cutting into the quick.
Directions:
•
The Oster Home Grooming Kit comes with a step-by-step guide and instructional
DVD. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with all materials before grooming your dog.
•
Before grooming, bathe your dog, dry their coat, and brush out all tangles and matts.
•
Never leave your dog unattended at any time during preparation or grooming.
Tip: As you prepare your dogs coat for grooming, examine the skin for any cuts, lumps, sores,
or other dermatological issues. Avoid these sensitive areas during grooming.
I had these nail clippers for my min pin but i do not have here any more so I was thinking I did not need them any more so I was going to give them away then but I thought about using the clippers on my cats before I gave the clippers away. I was so amazed on how easy it was to cut the cats nails and fast it clipped the nails and the cats was so easy to do the cats they just laid there for me to do there nails. I was using reg baby nail clippers and it was so hard for me to handle my cats to do there nails with those clippers they would jerk their paws back and fight me so much but using the pet nail tirmmer they did not pull their paws back or fight me on doing their nails this was heaven sent wish I would have thought about using the pet nail trimmer a lot sooner i would recomend the pet nail clipper to any one who has cats it works great
It was hard to introduce this to my pet as the nails kept jumping off the grinder. I only did 2 nails to start. I think it will get easier the more we do it.
best nail trimmer I have used. I have small hands and the grips make it much easier to hold and squeeze. I have a Wiemaraner who does not enjoy having his nails trimmed - and this makes the task MUCH easier. Thanks.
Bill, this is a "guillotine" style nail trimmer and should work well on your dog's thick nails. We have an unconditional product guarantee, so contact us if it does not work for your dog.
I used to have a powder that my vet gave me to stop bleeding if I had a few drops of blood after nail trimming. I can see the quick through my dog's nails except for a few darker nails so it was only a few drops (happened just 2-3 times over 8 years). Does anyone know what that powder or creme is? I know live in Switzerland and no-one has any idea what I'm talking about...
If you cut a toenail too short causing bleeding from the quick, you can use a styptic pencil to stop the bleeding. Even without any treatment, the nail should stop bleeding in five minutes or less.
Hi, Di. Good question. The Resco Nail Trimmer is constructed of durable metal handles covered by rubber and steel blades. It is a high quality, durable product.
