We have had a pair for years and they are missing. Confused

Can anyone recommend a very good quality claw clipper. I hate cheap tools of any kind, I always end up chucking them out and buying the ones I should have bought in the first place.

I would be grateful for any recommendations.

John

Can't find a brand name on my clippers so probably likely to be a cheap pair!! I thought they were Mikki ones but they'd probably have the brand name on!! So can't help!!!

Bump!

Well I am watching this thread because I have just bought a new pair which are flippin useless for Flint's claws. He is an Oldie now and his claws are rather big and hard and it takes some strong nail clippers to get through them Shocked .

I bought some Mikki ones from furbabies but haven't had a chance to use them yet but might be worth you checking them out in the shop. I know you can buy replacement blades for them.

I have these, very cheap, and I don't have any complaints. Missy's nails are huge, and I think I dread trimming hers as much as she does, but they always do as asked! Wink Although I don't have any to compare to, as always used these ones.

Not sure what make mine are but i prefer the one that encircle the claw, the secateur type always seem to split the nail before cutting.

I've had a pair like this for donkey's years. I've used them on numerous dogs nails, from GSD's to Toy Poodle's and they are still going strong. I lost them a little while back and bought a guillotine type pair and hated them, they split the nails and left them really ragged. I was so glad when I found my old ones again.

The only nail that was too big for them was my friends GSD's Dew Claws but they were ridiculously thick, in fact I've never seen such thick claws, even on much larger dogs. It did the rest of the dog's nails ok though.

I have the same ones as Suzy (mikki deluxe spring ones).

Basils claws are quite thick and hard and they do a good job. They have a little guard too, so if you ever did slip/dog wriggle the damage wouldn't be horrific.

Creeps back in to say I am not a Mikki fan, so if anyone has any others to recommend???

Remember mine are used very frequently with 6 to 15 dogs here. It does not really compare to a couple of dogs at home.
