FAQs
How often should I trim my pet's nails?
Generally, trim your pet's nails every 2-4 weeks, or as needed, depending on their activity and nail growth.
How do I avoid cutting the quick?
Trim small amounts at a time. Observe the nail's shape and color. If you see a dark circle, stop trimming.
What should I do if I accidentally cut the quick?
Apply styptic powder or cornstarch to stop the bleeding. If bleeding is excessive or doesn't stop, consult a vet.
Are these clippers suitable for all dog breeds?

How do I clean the clippers?
Wipe the blades with a clean, dry cloth after each use.
How do I store the clippers safely?
Engage the safety lock and store the clippers in a safe place, out of reach of children and pets.
What is the cutter guide for?
The cutter guide helps you maintain a comfortable and safe nail length without cutting too short.
How do I know when the blades need to be replaced?
