Miller's Forge 727C Medium Dog Nail Clipper
I rescued a dog. Got these clippers. I already knew he has brittle, dry nails and his nails hadn't been clipped for a long time. That if I had problems he would have to go to a vet. Possible fungal infection. He doesn't have one after a lot of money paying a vet and pain for him with several other clippers. He was hurt by guillotine types and others. He has these brittle nails from being not get properly. I was told to buy these. I put treats in them and gave them to him. He's a dog with Beagle, Pit, Bassett, or dachsund...short but stocky with black nails. These Miller's Forge cut through quickly but after a paw and a half he got upset and whomever having abused and also neglected his nails didn't make this easier because I had to get someone to help hold him down in blankets and plenty of love and reassurance. We got them clipped down. He jerked on back paw and I had to use stryptic powder because one of them got cut too short. These clippers made the clipping easier on my dog by far. They are easy to use. They didn't cut through like slicing through butter as some say because his nails are brittle. They didn't crush but clipped off breaking into pieces because their so dry and brittle. So, excellent quality clippers I know them to be but any would hurt him. These made it much easier for me and him although he hated it. I will redo every 10 days until the quick ( vein of blood ) in his nails recede back more and more as the nails get shorter. I've bought him better food and biotin supplement. I will have him checked out again at Vet later this year for nail bed infections etc..but I think it was from him being underweight and not fed everyday as does the Vet. I recommend these for those who have medium sized dogs but a man with big hands may want to buy the larger size for easier use for them. These are sharp because I used them on another dog and they cut quick, cleanly and this dog didn't mind it as he's used to it. So, I recommend these. I rinsed them off after use and dried them with a towel and put away in a dry place to prevent any rust because I saw one person on here post photos of a pair of Miller Forge clippers rusted. I'm sure they got wet as any clippers if you get wet and don't dry would rust. On my reason I see for that to happen and that goes for other items one uses like scissors, can openers etc..common sense. If a dogs nails are cut with these and they're in pain with dry brittle nails then take your dog to a Vet because they have a possible infection of their paws, immune system problems etc...I highly recommend these though, the best I've found for an easier clipping on this dog and actually the best on my other medium dog. I wouldn't use on my large dog a GS. So, I bought the large for her. I've clipped her nails since she was a pup but I like these better than all the others I've bought over the years. To each his own but I've heard nothing but good about these plus I'm tired of replacing frequently those made in China. These aren't made in China.
