FAQs

Which dog nail clippers do I need?

There are two main types of dog nail clippers: guillotine and scissors. Guillotine dog nail clippers have a blade that slides through a hole in the handle, cutting the nail cleanly. Scissor dog nail clippers have two blades that come together like a pair of scissors, giving you more control over the cut.

The size of your dog's nails will also play a role in which type of dog nail clipper you need. If your dog has large or thick nails, you'll need a heavy-duty clipper like the Gripsoft Deluxe Nail Clippers Jumbo. The Gripsoft Nail Clippers in medium or small sizes will suffice for medium or small nails. And for tiny dogs with delicate nails, consider the Gripsoft Nail Trimmer.


How often should I clip my dog's nails?

Although dog nails don't grow as quickly as human nails, you must trim them regularly to prevent overgrowth. The regularity depends on the breed of your dog and its activity level. For instance, smaller breeds with sedentary lifestyles may only need their nails trimmed every few weeks, while larger breeds or those who are very active may need their nails trimmed every week or two. If you're unsure how often to clip your dog's nails, talk to your veterinarian for expert guidance.


How to use
dog nail clippers

No matter which type of dog nail clipper you choose, it's important to take your time when trimming your dog's nails. Start by trimming just a little bit off the tips of the nails, then work your way down until you reach the desired length. Don’t forget to brush as you go. Be sure to avoid cutting too close to the quick, as this can be painful for your dog and lead to bleeding. Ask your veterinarian for guidance if you're unsure how short to trim your dog's nails. Trimming your dog's nails will become a quick and easy task with a little practice.
