Durable stainless steel blades with round tip and cutting guard for added safety and precision. Soft rubber handles for a non-slip, comfortable grip. Clipping your dog's claws every two to four weeks helps ensure your pet avoids getting snagged while also helping to protect your sofa or skin. Small clippers are suitable for smaller dog breeds such as Maltese, Shih Tsus or Chihuahuas. Hold pet securely with one hand and clippers with the other hand. Trim in one smooth stroke. If long nails, trim just a small amount and repeat in 10 days. Avoid cutting off large amounts at any one time.
