Nail Clippers

Choose nail clippers that are the right size for your dog's nails. For very small dogs or puppies, you can use cat nail clippers or even human nail clippers. "Guillotine" style nail clippers are not recommended as they tend to smash the nail and they don't work as well on thick nails.

Once you've decided on a preferred clipping tool, then learn how to get your dog used to nail trims.
