Dremel is considered the go-to brand for rotating tools, and many groomers say they also make the best nail grinder for dogs. The Dremel 7300-PT is wireless and comes with two different speeds, an accessory kit and an easy-to-use wall charger. The Safari Guillotine nail clipper is a small guillotine nail clipper that is quick and painless. The best option is to have a small pet that is nervous and excitable.
This is an easy to hold option that has a safety stop, so you won't cut too much. It will also prevent you from making uneven cuts. The double stainless steel blade won't blunt either. For small pets, this is a good option.
Nail clippers for dogs come in several different styles. Plier-type nail clippers work for most dogs. Guillotine nail clippers are generally the best for small to medium sized dogs. Nail grinders are ideal for gently filing your nail instead of cutting it.
Although some dogs wear out their nails naturally if they are very active outdoors, most dogs need to have their nails cut regularly. Bissell's well-built nail clippers for dogs and cats easily cut large nails and are extremely comfortable to hold and cut silently. I liked the variety of sanding bands and discs that come in the Dremel kit, but what stands out most about the product are the safety nail protector and the leg guide, which helped me achieve a good nail cutting angle. Guillotine nail clippers cut with less force than you need with plier clippers, but they're not as strong, so don't choose them for dogs with very large or very thick nails.
The most important thing dog owners can do when selecting the right hair clipper is to make sure it's the right size for the dog. To measure long-term durability, I continued to use the highest-rated nail clippers for trimming my own dog's nails (the miniature poodle). A pet nail clipper with a guillotine is also effective on small dogs or even cats, although animals may feel uncomfortable with strong downward pressure. Most pets don't like having their legs ruined, and convincing larger dogs to sit still for a pedicure can be particularly tiring, but it's important for your dog's health to keep their nails at the right length.
I consider myself a bit of an expert at trimming nails, see my guide on how to cut a dog's nails safely. Some nail clippers make a loud click that can frighten a nervous dog, but Bissell nail clippers are extremely quiet. If your dog weighs more than 60 to 70 pounds or has especially hard nails, this model has the strength needed to cut difficult nails.
