When to stop and ask for help

Mikki's own instruction is to seek a vet's advice if you're uncertain where the quick is, and to trim a small amount at a time rather than guess — cutting into the quick is painful and bleeds, and this clipper cuts fast enough that hesitation partway through a cut is more dangerous than cutting slowly and checking.

Why we chose it

A guillotine action genuinely cuts thick nails cleaner than a scissor-style clipper, which is the whole reason to stock this style at all. The blade cap is a small thing but it matters, since a clipper this sharp shouldn't be loose in a drawer.

— Matt, founder

Full description

A guillotine clipper only stays sharp if the blade is actually doing the cutting, not just crushing through — which is why a nail that needs several squeezes to come away clean is usually a sign the blade needs replacing, not that the dog has unusually tough nails.

This is a guillotine-style clipper with a heat-treated, micro-serrated stainless steel blade, built to cut through thicker nails in one action rather than several. It comes with a blade cap for safe storage, and it's suitable for left- or right-handed use. Mikki's own advice is to locate the nail's quick before cutting and to only take off a small amount at a time if you're unsure.
