Regular claw-trimming is an important part of good pet care & makes life more pleasant for both you & 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 & will not corrode. Trixie Easy Claw Pet Clippers can be used on small dogs, cats, small pets & birds. Note: Colour is not freely selectable
