Designed for large and medium dogs and cats, these clippers feature sharp stainless steel blades, a safety guard, and an ergonomic handle for a comfortable grooming experience.

Safety Information

• Always use caution when trimming your pet's nails to avoid cutting the quick, which contains blood vessels and nerves and can cause pain and bleeding.
• If you are unsure about the correct trimming technique, consult a veterinarian or professional groomer.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
• Ensure the safety guard is properly engaged to reduce the risk of over-cutting.
• Do not use on broken or infected nails.

Product Features

• Strong and Sharp Blades: Manufactured with high-grade, sharp stainless steel to ensure clean, even cuts and prevent breakage or injury.
• Safety Guard: Reduces the risk of over-cutting and bleeding by preventing the blade from going too deep into the nail.
• Comfortable Rubberized Handle: Ergonomically designed with a comfort-grip and anti-slip handle to prevent hand and wrist strain during use.
• Easy-to-Lock Blades: Features a simple locking mechanism for safe and convenient storage when not in use.
• Bonus Nail File: An included nail file helps to smooth any rough edges on your pet's nails after trimming, leaving them healthy and snag-free.

Operating Instructions

Trimming Pet Nails

1. Hold your pet's paw firmly and gently extend one nail.
2. Identify the quick, which is the pink part of the nail containing blood vessels and nerves. For dark nails, trim small amounts at a time to avoid the quick.
3. Position the clipper with the safety guard in place (if desired) so that only the tip of the nail is cut.
4. Squeeze the handles firmly and quickly to make a clean cut.
5. Repeat for all nails.

Using the Nail File

After clipping, use the included nail file to smooth any rough edges on your pet's nails. File gently in one direction until the nail is smooth.

Maintenance

• After each use, clean the clipper blades with a damp cloth to remove any nail debris.
• Ensure the blades are dry before locking and storing the clippers.
• Store the clippers in a safe, dry place away from moisture.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty Cutting Nails

• Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris.
• If the blades feel dull, consider replacing the clippers for optimal performance and to prevent splintering.

Pet Discomfort During Trimming

• Ensure you are not cutting too close to the quick.
• Introduce grooming sessions gradually, rewarding your pet with treats and praise.
• If your pet is highly anxious, consult a veterinarian or professional groomer for advice.
