Pawsibility - Reinvented Pet Nail Clippers for Your Pal - USB Rechargeable LED Light for Bloodline | Razor Sharp and Durable Blade | Vets Recommended Trimming Tool for Dogs and Cats

We have had dogs (and cats) for 60+ years. We have trimmed a lot of dog nails in that time. What we’ve learned is to have good, sharp instruments that fit well in your hand, and allow you to do it quickly, neatly without pain or upset to your animal. (If the clippers aren’t sharp, they MUST BE sharpened or buy new ones!) I found this particular clipper were reviewing to be lacking. The nail stop is unnecessary. It just gets in the way.I also found the handles were too big and oversized. I have a big hand, but I found them awkward and bulky. The sharpness was good. HINT: if you’re lucky and your pet has clear or white nails get a small light. A LED penlight or a keychain light is perfect! Small and concentrated light. Have a Sharply marking pen and with the light against the nail, look on the opposite side and you’ll see the image of the “pink quick” thru the nail!Then take your marker and draw a line at the very tip of the quick, showing how far to cut without drawing blood and the resulting pain. Make it all a game with your pet. Always have a LOT of tiny, tasty treats, and pet them and reassure them with your voice! All critters are sensitive about their paws and their muzzles. So give them lots of love and try to bribe them with those treats. Examples: Small bits of hot dogs - Cut into 1/4 or 1/2 inch pieces. Or crumble several pieces of bacon into tiny pieces. Or cooked & cooled liver! Maybe your dogs like some of the commercial treats? Just be sure to cut them into tiny pieces. Dogs taste with their nose. And gobble with their mouth, so size isn’t as important as something that’s fragrant, like liver. No dog will ever turn down Liver! So now you have treats, you’ve marked the maximum cut line, it’s time to clip. It’s best to have a helper to restrain the dog as they’ll be nervous, but have your helper feed then treats and keep them in place as you grab a paw and quickly clip a nail. Do that 8 or 10 times & you’re done. NEVER start unless you have what we call “Stop Leak”. Which is just Septic Powder. I dip the mail into it and it clings. I press on it for half a minute while it constricts the vessels, while giving the dog numerous treats to distract them as the septic does sting at first. A few treats will do it. When you’re finished play with your dog! It’s more important than cleaning up. Let them know that it wasn’t a punishment that you didn’t mean to cause some harm and give them more treats! Dance around and be crazy make your dog jump and wonder why you’re being so Nutty! You have to do things in an exaggerated way so they can understand clearly that you’re happy - and thus they will be happy too! And remember dogs usually don’t hold a grudge and just be sure you give them lots of love and affection and of course, fun and play! Now, if your dog has those black nails, you just have to proceed very carefully! You have to trim itsy-bitsy slices of mail until you come to where are you think the quick is. When you look carefully at the cut nail, the very extreme tip of the nail will appear as a tiny red or pink dot - as it gets thinner and thinner until it is no more. Once you get to the tiny red or pink dot, STOP 🛑. It’s showing you that you’re at the blood vessel and need to stop. If you go further, there will be blood! Black nails just mean you have to cut more carefully with accuracy. Finally, if you’re NOT UP TO TASK, don’t do it! Some dogs are timid and it’s not worth hurting them and making them afraid of you!GO TO A VETERINARIAN. They’ll gladly do it for you quickly & efficiently. And when they bring your dog back to you, they are so glad to see you, and you can take them away and be the hero! Plan ahead and have a small baggie with some of those fragrant treats inside so that you can buddy up with your pal when you get back out to the car!

Packaged great. Looks like a sturdy and well-made item. They give you a free bandana.I have a 2 pound Yorkie. This wouldn’t work on her. I still couldn’t see her quick even with the light. It would be better suited for animals with lighter nails.

I love the light and that it is meant to catch the trimmings. The light is very helpful when looking at the animal nails but I actually did not find it easy to use because trying to use it on the animals with the light portion you have to use it in a specific angle. I used it on my cat and just the way I had to get to her, the nail just fell on the floor.Update: seller read my review and offered a refund based on my experience. I fully appreciate this customer service and keeps me open minded in their products. Bumping star rating based on customer experience

4 stars bc I received the product straight out the package it had fur and was a little dirty on the nail clipper part, as in it was a used product beforehand, but other than that I like the light feature and the nail clipper works well

Me encanta porque permite ver el nervio antes de cortar.La luz es potente y el corte limpio.Vale para perros grandes, chicos y para gatos.
