Our Nail Grinder is ideal for trimming, shaping, and smoothing your pet’s nails. Grinders can be used on any size dog and they reduce the potential for accidents when caring for pets’ nails.

Nail clippers are great for quick nail trims – though often a filer or grinder is needed after to smooth down any sharp edges a clipper can leave behind.

The semi-circular indentations in both blades allow you to see exactly where you’re cutting the pet nail.
