Safari Professional Nail Trimmer for Dogs

I was not able to use the clippers because the handles are too short. I purchased them because I believed that they were the quality that the Veterinarians use, with a longer handle an better clipping area, but that is not the case. I’m disappointed that they were not as expected. the handles are too short, I can’t use them.

My border terrier hated getting his nails trimmed UNTIL I found this product! He still doesn’t like it but lets me clip his nails with this Safari trimmer

Been grooming dogs for 40 yrs. Worst nail trimmer that I didn't even get to use right out of the pkg. Screw to tighten guard useless and in addition locking the opening of the grips. Complete trash. Thankfully Chewy has reimbursed me.

My dog always hated getting her nails trimmed and would scream even though I was no where near her nerve, it took me a while to figure out that my previous nail trimmer was too dull and was hurting her. These on the other hand, in and out! The blade is sharp and even my dog is surprised when it's over in under 3 mins!

Very sharp clippers! I really like the grip on the handles and the side lock for when not in use also. These replaced a set of clippers that never worked very well and would more so twist or get stuck than clip right through. I felt bad even trying with those knowing it was uncomfortable for my dogs. Not the case with these Safari clippers. This round of nail clipping was super fast and easy with these new clippers! They cut right through thick nails.

I've been a Labrador-mom for many years, and have tried a variety of different nail trimmers (including the rotary-type), and so far these are my favorite. I'm on my second pair. I use the large ones. I like that they're stable in my hands and nice and sharp. They didn't last forever though; the blades became dull after a year or two, so I replaced them with the same ones. I did shop around first to see if there was anything better on the market, but came back to these with no regret. Even my 12-year old will use them on our lab.

I'm not sure if mine are faulty or if they're all like this but I've pinched my hand in these every single time I've tried to use them so far. I've tried holding my hand further down the handle but then they're harder to use. I've never had this problem with any other brand.

I have 2 medium-sized dogs ( a border collie mix and an Australian shepherd mix. Both about 35-40 lbs) and a small dog (a pug mix. She is about 14 lbs). I can usually use the same clippers for all of them. These are solid and well made. The spring in the center is heavy duty and I feel like they will last and stand up to many trims. They are also sharp. Unfortunately, they are just too big for my smaller dog and even for my Aussie mix. I am hoping that the smaller-sized clippers from the same manufacturer will do the trick for my pack. I'll certainly keep these as an extra pair.

These clippers have held up for a year and a half now with no faults! Coming from someone who had a dog with the toughest of tough nails, These cut through without any issue (Though I am a bit weaker than average, so I had to use some brute strength to grasp the handle). I do recommend positive interaction and reinforcement with the clippers first though! Some dogs can get naturally more scared of them if you accidentally nip too close and draw blood on their nail, so make sure to associate good things with the clippers for your pup!

I’ve used this brand before and haven’t had any issues. But these specifically were horrible. They didn’t cut properly so they were painful. I had to stop after just trying it on two nails. I’m not sure if it’s because the weren’t sharp enough or the angle on them is wrong, but I couldn’t use them anymore.
