M-PETS Nail Clipper for Dogs with Safety Guard - L

M-PETS Nail Clipper for Dogs with Safety Guard is the plier-shaped dog clipper in the M-PETS range, with a guard that swings into place to stop the blade taking more than you meant.

Key Features

• Plier type with teal soft-grip handles
• A safety guard that limits how far the nail can go in, marked Safety system on the card
• Two sizes: S at L 5.5 x H 12.5 cm and L at L 6.7 x H 15 cm
• An orange Recommended by Dog Groomers badge on the card, which is M-PETS' own mark

Good To Know

• The quick is the living wick inside the nail. On a pale nail you can see it as a pink line; on a black one you cannot, so take thin slivers and stop when the cut face turns chalky grey.
• Have styptic powder or cornflour on the table before you start. Catching the quick bleeds impressively and a pinch of powder held against it stops the bleeding in a minute.
• A little every week or two, not a lot twice a year. The quick grows forward with the nail, so a long-neglected claw cannot be shortened in one sitting however sharp the blade.
• The guard limits the depth; it does not know where your dog's quick is. Set it short and move it out, rather than trusting it on the first cut.
