Round-Tip Pet Nail Clipper

Scissor-style clippers with rounded tips — the safest shape for a first-time trim, because a rounded tip is much harder to catch skin with than a guillotine blade.

Why round tips

Most nail injuries come from the blade closing on the quick, not from cutting too short. A round-tip scissor gives you a visible cut line from both sides, so you can take thin slices instead of one blind cut.

Details

• Stainless steel blades, 4 mm cutting opening
• Rounded tips — no exposed point
• Non-slip rubber grip rings, sized for one hand
• Three colours: orange, pink, blue
• Suitable for cats and small-to-medium dogs

How to use it

Trim a sliver at a time, keep a styptic powder nearby, and stop when you see a dark circle in the centre of the nail — that is the quick. If your dog is anxious, do one nail a day rather than all four paws at once.
