Guillotine’ nail clippers have a stationary blade (usually a hole or ‘ring’ shape) and one moving one (the ‘guillotine’) which slices the nail when you squeeze the handles. They make a straight cut, which can be really handy to avoid making your dog’s nail bleed. However, this straight cut can make life harder if a nail needs cutting at an angle. It’s also harder to get the dog nail clippers into position on little nails or highly curved nails. How to use guillotine dog nail clippers

When choosing your dog nail clippers, you might have noticed several different types. Although they all look different, they fall into two main categories: the ‘bypass’, or ‘scissor’ type and the ‘guillotine’ type. There are also non-cutting types – like nail grinders and nail files– which may work well for some dogs. The nails are also too long when they start to turn sideways. That usually happens when the nails are so long that they can no longer grow towards the ground. The guard cap has two ports; one for small nails and the other for large nails.

You may also see this type called ‘plier’ nail clippers. These can either be sprung like secateurs, or not – like scissors – but they work in much the same way. They can be great for precise cuts, and on highly curved or small nails, but the spring ones work well in larger nails too. However, they blunt easily, and there’s no easy way to sharpen the blades, meaning you’ll have to replace the nail clippers entirely.
