You need to fit your cat's claws into the guillotine, and then close the clippers on the right part of the claw. The hole is much bigger than the claw and the blade has a long distance to travel, making the whole experience quite stressful for both of us.
I use these clippers on my two BSH Cats. Have had them for 2 years now and they still work brilliantly! Makes a daunting task so much easier to do and less stress for the animals too!
Have just used these clippers for the first time, so quick, easy, and safe to use. Bailey hated having his claws clipped, had to visit the vets to have them clipped not anymore. Can be done at home in half the time without the cost.
I bought these originally to use on my Guinea pigs, but they work very well on my Jack Russell too.
Very easy to use, you don't need much pressure and they cut very efficiently. Quick and easy. Which is wonderful as my doggy hates getting her claws clipped, as it stresses her out.
After using many types of clippers, these are the best.
They cut cleanly with little pressure and most importantly they do not twist the nail making them more comfortable for the dog.
