The Ancol Ergo Dog Nail Clippers are scissor action nail trimmers that are super simple to use, so you can get the job done quickly and safely.
The Dog Nail Trimmers feature a nail ident guide so you can accurately and easily see where you should be trimming so you don’t cut too much off. The Nail Clippers benefit from a tempered steel blade that is durable and long lasting. The Dog Nail Clippers have a safety clip that is engaged when the clippers aren’t being used for safe storage.

To use, make sure that your dog is calm and still, it may help to have someone with you if your dog is nervous or has never had their claws trimmed before. Hold on to the dog's toe firmly, to keep it still. Open the clippers by pulling the safety clip downwards. The scissors feature a guard which can be used to measure how much nail to cut. Place the clipper over the end of the claw and close it to remove the end of the claw.

Important: Remove only the very end of the claw. Cutting too much of the claw can cut the quick (a vein that rat runs through the claw) causing pain. For dogs with dark claws, it is difficult to see the quick, try looking from underneath the claw. No matter how long the claws are, proceed with caution and cut only the very end of the claw off. Long claws should be clipped by small amounts to help the quick recede.
