Millers Forge Dog Nail Clip, Large
I was directed to this brand of pet nail trimmer several years ago by a professional dog groomer who spoke very highly of their performance and quality at an affordable price. Years later, these are now the ONLY nail clippers I use for both my dogs and cats. I have returned to purchase at least 3 or 4 pairs over time. I know they technically are not the best type or size for cat claws, but I have found that these are the only clippers I can trust to consistently give a clean, quick, non-crushing cut to my cats’ claws. I’ve tried gazillions of guillotine style cutters as well as those rotary style that slowly file the claws off (whose dog/cat lets them hold their paw that long?! Mine is a struggle the entire time) but these are hands-down the best ones. They stay sharp for a long time, cut smoothly even through very thick, tough nails or brittle nails. My Great Dane is the toughest, most rough-and-tumble Great Dane I’ve ever seen – not your classic lazy big girl – and she’s constantly breaking nails on tree roots and other random outdoor hazards. I’ve found these clippers (especially a fresh, new pair) will easily and gently cut away the broken nail parts so we can gradually return to a healthy nail with no stray splits or tears.As an added bonus, I also find that after awhile when these get dull (or if you, uh, leave them out in the rain like has happened several times to us), they actually make awesome stem clippers for outdoor plants. I’ve trimmed more than a few crepe myrtle stems and cut many a batch of fresh lilies for the house using a too-dull-to-cut-dog-nails pair of these clippers, so they continue to have a life after their first intended use, which I can appreciate.Very much recommend these to anyone seeking good quality dog nail clippers that can give a perfect trim while still being super affordable.

Strong and reliable dog nail clippers
They work on my dog, whose nails are unbelievably hard! So, I definitely recommend them for medium to large dogs. Great product!

They don’t crush the nails, cleanly cuts right thru, with very minimal noise.
A groomer friend of mine has always used these. We worked together and she urged me to just try them. I had been a vet tech for 12 yrs prior to my learning to groom. So, I tried them on a shitzu, we’re great, started thinking, let’s try a harder type nail, I tried em out on a basset hound absolutely fell in love, but before I’m gonna shell out big bucks, I’m gonna give em the test. At the time we groomed a 240lb. Great Pyrenese. I was amazed. They are so easy to use, to hold, and you don’t have to squeeze the handles hard at all. Plus for me I’m a weakling. About all those bucks, I groom about 25-30 babies a week, cats too. That’s roughly 240-300 nails trimmed a week. I have bought 2 pair in 13 yrs. I have never paid more than $7 and see em around mostly for bout $5-6. They are sharp, safe, very easy to use, and I would Def recommend for 1st time nail trimming dog owners. I hope they never change them, they work way to well. They may look chintzy, hands down best out there, they last forever. Thanks Miller Forge

Nice, sharp dog nail clippers
These dog nail clippers are sharp and decent quality. They get the job done easily, which my dogs and I appreciate. They’re not professional grade, but I think they’re a good quality for what I paid. I would recommend these for home use, but not for professional use.

Incredible price and Excellent product
My dog hates getting his nails clipped by me. Almost every nail clipper that I’ve gotten have pinched his nail slightly crushing before cutting through cleanly. Even ones marketed as high grade professional nail clippers have done this. I think the crushing is due to the fact that he has very soft nails With these cllippers, I think I can actually get my dog to be comfortable or at least less fussy about getting his nails clipped!I found tons of recommendations for the Millers forge brand of clippers, and even the vet and groomer recommended them. First, let me say that these required almost no effort to clip my dogs nails. I was able to get my dogs nails clipped in 15 minutes, which is the fastest I’ve ever been able to do this. He didn’t once cry out in pain as if I were killing him, nor did he retract his paw as hard as he could from my grasp. I didn’t have to do a sharp and quick cut to get these to close, as I have done with many other brands. Instead these just glided right through the nail, and were incredibly precise so that I was able to clip in small sections. It was almost like shaving off his nail just a little bit. Because the clippers clipped of his nail so cleanly I was able to see that the discarded nail anatomy – hard shell and a fleshy inside. The fleshy inside of his nail just crumbles when it falls out of the hard shell, and so I think this is why previous nail clippers were crushing his nail.Speaking from a physics perspective, I can see these clippers lasting quite a long time and remaining sharp. The design on the blade of the clipper is angled sharply into a thin blade (and it is a very sharp blade). The blades make no noise as they are closed and opened, though I can feel the blades brush against one another. The spring that opens the clippers also makes no noise, and I believe this is because they use a volute spring which I’m also not afraid of getting pinched by.The only issue with the clippers is that the red comfort grip covers slide off while I clip. This isn’t a big deal though as they don’t slide off much and it didn’t make a difference in how the clippers performed.For people who are wondering if these are real Millers Forge Inc clippers, they are. Only the larger Miller’s Forge nail clippers are made in Italy (specifically the 727C and 767C styled for larger dogs). I would only recommend these for medium to small dogs. All other Miller’s forge nail clippers are made in other places -such as Japan and Taiwan. These 743C clipers are made in Taiwan, and do come with the Miller’s Forge lifetime guarantee against manufacturing or worksmanship defects unless abused or left to rust (as stated on the back of the packaging).

When these arrived, I was very skeptical. The packaging was very basic, which, along with the low price, made me think these were going to be garbage. I couldn’t have been more wrong! These clippers are amazing! Very light, sharp and quiet. The previous ones I used made a big snap when clipping which made my dog very nervous and also sometimes crushed the nail a bit. These require very little pressure and you can make tiny precise cuts. The last time I used my old clippers, my dog moved and I ended up getting the quick very badly. We were both traumatized. He was already very sketchy about nail trims so I thought I’d never be able to cut them myself again. I used the Millers Forge clippers today for the first time. My pup was very nervous after his last experience but once the first couple nails were done, he was more cooperative. These cut through his thick black nails like butter and made no scary noise. I can’t attest to their durability but their low price will make them easy to replace if they break or dull.

I am a pet groomer of almost 20 years, and these are the chosen nail trimmers of my profession for a reason. They are extremely durable and tough. In a space of a couple of years I could go through multiple sets of other brands of nail trimmers, until I finally stopped cheaping out and bought these. If you have a big dog with nails as thick as tree trunks, these are the trimmers for you. I use them on all breeds of dogs and cats as well. I have had these for years now and I have no complaints, and they are as strong as the day I bought them.

Das Kürzen der Krallen ist ein sehr unterschätzes Thema bei der Gesunderhaltung des Hundes. Als Inhaberin einer Praxis für Hundephysiotherapie kann ich davon leider ein Lied singen. Diese Krallenschere ist schön scharf und wird auch mit den Krallen von Giant-Breeds fertig.

Ik heb deze nageltang (S) op aanbeveling van Amy Lee van ‘Go Groomer’ gekocht en is voor mij de beste nagelknipper tot nu toe. Ik had alleen toch een maatje groter moeten bestellen voor mijn Whippet, (Het blijft lastig inschatten) maar dat doet niets af aan deze fantastische nagelknipper.Deze tang “knijpt” de nagel ook niet voordat hij snijdt, iets waar mijn hond namelijk erg gevoelig voor is, ze was nu heel tolerant voor deze tang. De nagel is nog wel scherp, daarom vijl ik ze nog even na met een electrische nagelvijl.

J’ai testé beaucoup de coupe-griffes et celui-ci est de loin le meilleur! Il est tellement léger qu’au début j’ai douté de son efficacité, mais cela permet une prise en main très adaptée. Ce coupe-griffe permet une coupe hyper précise, j’arrive littéralement à couper millimètre par millimètre, beaucoup moins de risque de couper trop loin!Et en plus, puisqu’il est plus léger et plus coupant, il ne fait pas le fameux « CLAC » quand on coupe – ce qui effraie souvent le chien.J’adore et je recommande!
