FAQ

How do I know if I'm cutting my nail too short?

The Covetrus nail clipper includes a safety stop that limits the cutting depth. For dogs with light-colored nails, avoid the pink area (the quick). If your dog has dark nails, only trim the curved tip and stop if you see a grayish or pinkish spot in the center of the cut.

Is it safe for dogs that move around a lot?

Yes, its ergonomic, non-slip design allows for precise control, even if your dog is restless. It's recommended to get your dog used to it from puppyhood and reward them with treats to make the experience positive.

How often should I trim my small dog's nails?

Generally, every 2 to 4 weeks. The frequency depends on natural wear and tear: if your dog walks on asphalt, they may need less frequent trimming. Check their nails weekly and trim them when you notice they touch the ground while standing.

How do I clean and maintain my nail clippers?

Clean the blades with a dry cloth after each use. To disinfect, use isopropyl alcohol with a cotton ball. Store the nail clipper in a dry place out of reach of children. The stainless steel blades do not require frequent lubrication, but you can apply a drop of mineral oil if you notice resistance while cutting.

This product requires a veterinary prescription. Consult your veterinarian.
