GoPets Dog Nail Clippers, Professional Pet Nail Trimmer for Large Dogs and Cats with Quick Sensor Safety Guard, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Blades, Non-Slip Handle, Built-in File for Safe Grooming

Finding a good pair of nail clippers is a harder task than I thought it'd be. I read many reviews, called around to local shops, and then found these. These clippers work really well on our Boston Terrier & two cats. They're very sturdy/well-constructed, they don't wobble, and they're quiet. They're weighted-well; they kind of have the feeling of a good pair of gardening tools or something that has a certain amount of heft to them that just makes them feel substantial enough to do the job, but not too heavy. I picked up a pair of guillotine-style clippers years ago and these new ones from GoPets are much better. The guillotine ones made quite a loud "ka-chunk" sound every time I trimmed my dog's nails, and due to the style, trimming her nails took longer. With these, I can clearly see where I'm about to clip and my view isn't obstructed. The GoPets clippers are sharp and the built-in file is a nice added bonus. I found the file to be pretty small, and I use a separate, bigger, permanent file, but the built-in one was handy with the cats. Taking into account everything I've said, it all adds up to a much better experience. It takes far less time to trim my dog's nails now. It used to take 45 minutes (she flinches when I'm about to clip a nail), now it takes 10, maybe 15. As for the cats, we adopted a kitten a few months back (he's now 5 months old), and have a 7-year old cat, too. The kitten isn't declawed and the older one tends to scratch his head. I don't want the dog to catch a nail from the kitten, who just wants to play, we aren't getting the kitten declawed, and it'd be great if the older cat wouldn't scratch his head so bad. So given all these things, I tried clipping their nails, too, and found it to be a very easy thing to do. Trimming their nails with these clippers has turned out to be an amazingly cheaper and more pleasant alternative to getting them declawed. The kitten tends to be kind of a drama queen, but because the clippers are so easy to use, it's all over in a few minutes. The big guy is pretty laid back and just went with it. I'm sure, had I tried clipping their nails with the older, guillotine ones, it wouldn't have been such an easy thing to do. Bottom line: They're worth every penny. They're the best clippers I've found & I'd buy them again.

No dog likes having their nails clipped. My German shepherds go to great lengths to evade me whenever I try to cut their nails. But these clippers make it easy. The blades are sharp and cut cleanly. The depth guard stays in place, so even if I can't get a good look at the nail (because the dog is constantly trying to pull his paw away), I can still just cut the nail by feel without worrying about taking off too much. The handle makes it easy to get a good, clean snip every time, too. It's still a chore to cut my dogs' nails. No set of clippers can stop my female from trying to lick my eyeballs while I'm doing it. But at least with these clippers, I can keep going and get the job done.

These nail clippers are very well constructed and heavy duty. They are very versatile to use on either large breed or smaller breed, as I have a Golden Retriever all the way to Chihuahuas. The clippers were very sharp and cut very precisely without any ripped or torn edges. It comes with a very nice finishing file in which I enjoyed having for a few nails. It has a safety guard on the outside of the clipping edge that can either be swung to be in place to be used by you or swung away, for someone that is more exsperienced and that doesn't need it, or if your dogs nails are a bit too long. I appreciated how nice the rubber gripping felt in my hands as I worked with the clippers as it helped me get that perfect cut each time. My Chihuahua is not always the calmest but with these clippers he did amazing, so they obviously did not bother him. Thanks Go Pets.

My dog absolutely despises having his nails done. He is very passionate in his hatred of all things nail care. He actually lets me cut his nails with these clippers. My dog also has very thick, hard nails. These clippers cut right through his thick nails with very clean cuts every time. His nails have never been so smooth immediately after a cut as they are with these clippers. The quick guard is great as well. It makes it teally easy not to hit the quick even when you can’t see it through dark black nails. I think this is a big part of why my dog allowed me to cut his nails without a fight. He panics if he thinks there’s even the remotest of chances that his quicks will be hit (even though it’s never happened) and he quickly realized that his nails hit the guard on these, limiting how much of the nail can be cut off. And, finally, even with my very limited grip strength, these clippers are easy to use. The handles are long and thick making them easy to grip and giving quite a bit of leverage. These clippers feel strong and well made, so I expect them to last for years, but when the time does come to replace them, I will be buying these same nail clippers again.

I only wish i found these 10 years ago! I adopted my dog at 3 months and he came to me with large bandages on all four paws/legs. He was found by the local sheriff bleeding out because some kids pulled out all his nails with pliers and left him to die. But thanks to the quick action and love of the sheriff, the local hospital and generosity of the 24 hour vet hospital my dog survived. He has a lot of anxiety about having his nails clipped even 10 years later. I won't take him anywhere to have them cut because it increases his anxiety even more. I've tried so many different clippers with no success. His nails never grew back normally. And it doesn't help that he's 149lbs so his nails are more like falcon talons! These clippers have such a strong grip and smooth glide that he didn't even have the chance to panicky yank his paw away! I have never cut all four paws so quickly, i was shocked...but he was a little shocked looking too! Not one nail split. I can't believe how much i was able to cut off with only a little protest! I can't say the word "clippers" or even get them out. So he did run in the bedroom and try to hide under his blanket, but maybe now since this was not the usual re-traumatizing experience he will let me clip them more often. Thank you for finally making great clippers available for consumers at a great price!

I was so excited to receive these new nail clippers for my small dogs. When I received my delivery, I immediately opened the box and was ready to trim their nails. When searching for a new pair of clippers, I opted to purchase a more expensive brand. I had hope that a quality brand nail clipper would be less stressful on the dogs. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I only trimmed one nail, then stopped. The noise sounded like a like a nutcracker crushing the nail. It was not only alarming for me, but also for my dog. Returning the product and back to searching for a quality product that is less stressful on both human and dog.

Worked well

The nail clipper was purchased to be used on a large dog, great dane. It does work and I really like that it has a.Back flap so you don’t cut the nail excessively. I thought the clippers would sharper to cut the nail easier, But they are not.
