Regular claw-trimming is an important part of good pet care and makes life more pleasant for both you and your pet. Before you start to trim make sure you have a firm grip on your pet's paw. Then gently push the claws out. Only trim the tip of the clear outer section of a light coloured claw. If your pet has dark claws you should consult a vet. The claw scissors have a non-slip grip for maximum control when trimming. The blades are made from stainless steel blades and will not corrode. Trixie Easy Claw Pet Clippers can be used on small dogs, cats, small pets and birds. Note: Colour is not freely selectable
