Four Paws Magic Coat Nail Trimmer For Dogs

The Four Paws Magic Coat Nail Trimmer For Dogs is a scissor-action nail trimmer with heavy stainless steel blades, in two sizes so the tool matches the nail rather than the other way round.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty stainless steel blades
• Rubberised safety grip that does not slip in a damp hand
• Small for toy and small breeds, large for everything bigger
• Part of the Four Paws Magic Coat grooming range

How Often And How Much

• If you can hear the nails clicking on tile, they are too long. Overgrown nails change how a dog stands and put strain through the toes and wrists
• Take a little off at a time. The quick - the pink vein inside the nail - follows the nail down, so a long-overdue nail has a long quick and cannot be shortened in one go
• On black nails you cannot see the quick. Take thin slices and stop when the cut face shows a small grey or pink dot in the centre
• Keep styptic powder or cornflour in the grooming kit. If you do catch the quick it bleeds a lot, and pressure plus powder stops it

Dogs That Hate Having Their Nails Done

• Do one nail, give a treat, stop. Tomorrow do two. A dog that has been pinned down for a nail trim remembers it for years
• Hold the foot loosely. Gripping tight makes a dog pull away harder
• A grinder suits some dogs better than clippers because there is no pinch. Either way, the training matters more than the tool
