Safari Professional Nail Trimmer for Dogs

In my year of dog ownership, I've gone through several nail clippers and only seemed to use them once. Every clipper just seemed to only dent or crush the nail, which was not a great experience for me or my dog. I was convinced I would just never learn how to cut my pup's nails and would have to pay someone to do it, but on a whim I decided to try one last pair of clippers. These things have been a complete game changer! I've had them for a few months now, and they have proven to be sharp and accurate, allowing me to shave off the tiniest slivers of each nail with ease. This is incredibly important for me, since my dog's nails are mostly black and I need to be very careful about quicking her In my year of dog ownership, I've gone through several nail clippers and only seemed to use them once.

I bought these a year ago and average one large breed dog's nails per week. They make a louder "click" than some other brands (so more training is required on sound to keep the dogs calm) but are sharp enough to compensate. Recently, I've noticed that I'm pinching my palm when cutting larger nails. Painful, but I figured it was normal and just a result of navigating thick nails and the price to pay for having the more lightweight, maneuverable design. Now, however, I'm seeing that the spring is not pushing the clippers fully apart as it should, resulting in less leverage (hence the pinch?) and requiring that I manually open them more before gripping a nail.

Just be aware that if you cut nails a lot, you might encounter some wear and tear and need to make them an annual buy or put up with some hassle. … more

I've had my same brand nail trimmer for several years and I noticed that my cat's nails weren't cutting as sharply so decided to replace them. Looks like Safari has improved the design as the lock is metal and doesn't move easily causing me to put it down in the middle of clipping nails. They are nice and sharp and cut nails with ease and no pain to my cats. I highly recommend this brand and especially this newer version for cats.

They work really well! The clippers I had previously were old guillotine-style clippers so I decided it was time to get an upgrade. These are nice and sharp, which means I don't need as much pressure to make a cut. My dog is quite pleased about that! He tolerated the nail trim much more with these. The safety guard is a little in the way for me but looks removable (or at least movable) with a tool.

I have bought these nail clippers twice - the first pair got gnawed on, so the handle wasn't comfortable anymore, so I ordered a second one. I liked my first one a lot, but the second one it is just impossible to keep the nail guard in place. I've tried tightening it, but it just refuses to stay in place, and with my wiggly dogs who hate having their nails clipped, the nail guard is vital. Not sure if I'll buy a 3rd time or gamble on a different brand.

I have 2 dogs who go bonkers when we try to trim their nails. Each of them allowed us, for whatever reason, these trimmers are the only ones our fur babies have allowed us to use! Very happy with our purchase!

I started trimming my Bichon's nails myself during Covid. The first clippers I bought crushed the nail and left crumbled pieces. This is the second pair I've tried and am very happy with them! They leave a clean-cut, are comfortable to hold, and are a good size for my 20 lb Bichons.

I love this nail trimmer! I had previously bought another nail trimmer at the store, but it made nail cutting so difficult. I thought I'd buy a different one and I am so happy I was able to get my hands on these! Cutting my dogs nails are seamless, and I LOVE the safety stopper. I always double check the placement of the stopper just incase it's near the blood vessel, but so far so good! I have two pitbulls, and this size works just fine.

Best clippers I’ve ever used!! Nice and sharp. Spring action is smooth and right amount of resistance. Does so well you can do small sliver shaves off the mail for dogs where you can’t see the quick like my dog. Amazing !!

The headline says it all. I purchased a nail grinder a few months before these clippers and didn't have much success using them on my dog. She is calm and doesn't mind the grinder but it takes longer to grind the nail than to just trim it. These trimmers are great. They are sharp and get a good, clean cut and the guard at the end makes it so you can't cut off too much of the nail at once, which for me, is essential.
