These Nail Clippers are made from forged rust free high-grade steel. Through the straight cutting edge, they are designed only for small and thin nails, by which chipping is not a problem. The length of this nail clip reaches 14cm. If you are unsure, you should leave the nail cutting to your vet, this applies especially for dark nails by which the inner lying blood vessel is not visible. If you wish to do the work yourself regardless, please grope your way on slowly and always cut off only a small part of the tip.
