New York Times' Best Dog Nail Clipper
A FAVOURITE AMONGST PET PARENTS AND TRAINERS
Millers Forge has been a premium manufacturer of pet grooming and related products that are used by veterinarians, pet groomers and pet owners worldwide for over 65 years.
Not only is this nail trimmer one that will last years if not a lifetime (unlike most that only get worse as you use them), it is also extremely good at its job. The best tool for trimming nails as it's sharp, can take off tiny precise slices and is suitable for most dogs except giant breeds. It produces the quickest, neatest trim and is the least stressful for both - pet and handler. Easy to use, easy to see the nail, cuts thinly and is very sharp for working around the quick.
This nail trimmer is a no-nonsense tool that cuts cleanly, consistently, comfortably, and effortlessly without losing its edge or hurting your hands. The red-handled clipper is easily manoeuvrable and has a metal bar guard to stop you from cutting too much nail at once if you like to use it - most people tend to just move this out of the way in practise though and some that like to use it feel that it's best to blutack in place as it can otherwise move on its own. With the spring-loaded cutting mechanism you get a smooth and clean cut with less noise and more comfort for your dog.
Key Features:
- Durable plier-style nail clipper
- Quality-made of stainless steel to withstand years of use
- Comfortable red plastic grip for secure hold. Please note that the red handle cover can be removed and some find it more comfortable to glue it in place so it doesn't ever slip off.
- Spring-loaded cutting mechanism for more precise cutting action
- Easy to use latch to lock the trimmers closed for storage and maintenance, protecting the blades
- Built-in guard can be moved into position to prevent over-cutting of nails
--> though it tends to be fairly loose and may need to be blutacked in place if you wish to use it - 12.7 cm long, 60g
Have an anxious dog around handling? Maybe this blog post will provide some guidance.
These clippers are so much easier to use than other clippers I’ve used, they’re definitely sharp enough which helps.
How wonderfully lovely to see some cooperative care in action. Thanks so much for sharing! Go you, team Astrid! <3
These are the best clippers I have ever purchased. My Rottweiler hates getting her nails cut but these clippers are so sharp they make cutting her nails quick and less stressful for her (and me). I have tried a lot of other clippers and these are by far the best. I highly recommend these nail clippers.
Thanks so much for the glowing review - so glad mani-pedi time is so much less stressful for you guys now!
Great products but disappointing that you put two in one without asking me, as I did pay you for two postage’s but you put both orders in the one package with no refund, so I have been feeling ripped off as these Sissors would NOT cost you any bigger bag to slip them in to the package so a still feeling a little dissatisfied with that fact.
Glad you like the product. We received 2 orders from you, 10 minutes apart, both to the same address. One was $5.50 shipping and the other $7. In order to save you money, we shipped the parcels together and opted to refund the higher of the 2 shipping fees ($7). The refund notification email was sent to you the day after your order at 12:32 pm and the refund was charged back to your credit card. Our apologies that you would have preferred 2 separate parcels.
Purchased these nail clippers after seeing them on Facebook and am really happy.
My girl is a large Bull Breed x Neo Mastiff and has thick strong nails! Nail trimming has been a struggle for all other clippers I’ve tried and often I’d have to use two hands to get through her nails. Tried these as soon as they arrived (which was super quick delivery) and they cut through her nails like a hot knife through butter! So much easier, they sit beautifully in your hand and less stress for her, definitely a high quality product.
Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be looking at some of your other products now.
Many thanks!

What a gorgeous girl Daisy is — thanks so much for the photo! So happy to hear these clippers are doing the trick (finally!). Thick nails can be such a pain to deal with. Appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review — be in touch when you're ready to check out more goodies! :)
I was wondering what the hype is all about - I thought it’s just another pair of clippers, they can’t make that much of a difference. How wrong I was!!
With our old clippers we had to sweet talk and bribe our 30ish kg pointer before and after every clip. It had to happen fast otherwise he’d pull away his paw, which again left me anxious about accidentally cutting in the wrong place. Each clip would make him flinch at the loud snap and I couldn’t help but feel that it must slightly twist his whole nail a bit, which can’t be comfortable.
So I finally decided to give these clippers a go. They were delivered within 2 days and omg.. No bribing or calming down needed! I mean, he still doesn’t loooove it and cutting is not completely noise free (although very quiet), but they are so sharp, there’s def no twisting the nail and I can do one nail after another, taking my time, with no fuss at all.
I actually can’t believe the difference it makes, thank you!
Right?? That 'aha' moment when you realize it can be so much easier. Your pointer and you deserve a medal for patience. So happy to hear there's way less drama (and flinching) now. Thanks for trusting the hype and for the lovely photo! You will likely find that over the next few weeks and months he'll be calmer and calmer with every time you trim. :)
