A canine‘s nails can grow pretty long and sharp if not properly taken care of. When a dog has long nails, which they develop after time, you
may begin to get scratched as you play with them (usually not their intentions), they may ruin their dog toys (even those that are chew-proof), and you may also begin to notice your home decor getting scratched. None of which is good. It’d be quite cost-effective if we can clip their nails with the nail clippers we use on ourselves but, unfortunately, that’s not the best option.

As you look into some of the best dog nail clippers you can be rest assured the list has been gathered from deep research. We’ve taken the cost, customer reviews, popularity, and even recommendations from specialist into consideration to get you the list of only the best nail clippers for your dog(s). Now, there are three different varieties of nail clippers you should know of as you buy one for your dog. Guillotine, Miller’s Forge, and large dog trimmers. The first, Guillotine, is the most popular and is used for smaller breed dogs. The second. Miller’s Forge, is meant for small and medium sized breeds; and finally, the large dog trimmers are simply meant for larger dogs.

The list that will follow below this paragraph can also be considered “professional dog clippers”. If you currently, or intend to, run a dog care service of some sort these will all be applicable for such usage.
