I have some gillotine ones that are rubbish and some that are just clippers and better I also us a human nail file and emery boards too, though Amys nails are long cos she has spent most of her life on soft ground, the lanes around me are all earth and the roads unmade

I either take my lot to a grooming palour or to the vets. If I think thier nails are getting to long, I have some sort of guillotine to whack them off ( the nails)

I have a pair that are really good, think they are Mikki but can't remember. They have a guard on them so you can't take off too much in one go. Really easy to use (but not on Ash, he seems to think you need a general to have your nails cut). I HATE cutting nails, always worried I will make them bleed but not so bad with there ones.

My girl's nails rarely need shortening. If they do I file/grind them with a Dremel. The boy is such a squirmer that I usually get the groomer to do his

I have guillitone(sp) and they work well I like the idea of a buard as Abbys nails are black.

I have some that are brilliant they are red too but cant for the life of me remember where I got then or their name, have had them for a few years now, I always clip my dogs nails(if working they wear down more) just recently had a hell of a time clipping the razor sharp nails on our litter of pups, even with my glasses on I couldnt see them,

Mine are called Resco, i use the Jumbo size for me dogs. i Have used them for years and you get replacement blades. The clippers are not expensive about £8 i think. They are USA made but i bought them from my local pet shop.
