These clippers are great! Very sharp for my large dog's thick nails. The light helps a little, but honestly I have learned to hold his feet like a horse and clip from underneath, so I don't really use the light anymore. It did give me peace of mind as I learned where his kwik was. You can see the kwik much easier that way (especially if you clip until you start to see the black dot). I used to take my dog to Petsmart every month for a $20 nail trim. With my old clippers, or grinder, he would never hold still or let me touch his toes (what a princess!). So after watching a video on how to trim nails, I noticed I needed a different type of trimmer. These fit the bill! Now, he lets me hold his feet (yes he still squirms, but we go slow, 1-2 nails at a time then a break and praise) and I can clip his nails, all 4 paws, in about 10 minutes. He doesn't hurt, he stays relatively still, and these babies work hard. I'm not sure how sharp they will stay in the long run, but after 3 months of consistent use (trims about every week or two) I will gladly buy more of these as my pair dulls to save my time dragging him to a groomer. If my wimpy dog who would never let me touch his feet before lets me now AND lets me trim his nails, you have nothing to lose. Buy them. Look up a video, hold your dog's foot behind him like a horse, and trim away. Save yourself some money on grooming, and buy your pup those treats instead (you know you're going to spend the money you save on him/her anyway). Read more
Absolutely terrific. I have avoided trimming my two dogs by myself for years. Swore to myself to never rescue another dog with black nails. Ever. But you know how adoptions just happen anyways. The vets started charging ridiculous fees. Groomers too. The design of these is a game changer. The back stop, metal guard ensures no accidental deep cut if my dog jerks away plus I don’t even have to think about cutting too short. Though my dogs nails aren’t see through the light makes me see what is going on. No peering and having to struggle to see. The blades are sharp enough to — chunk — cut with one firm squeeze of the ergonomic handles. I am no longer dodging doing nails. Yippee! P.S. my dogs are 80 and 45# so their nails are thick.

They seem nice they’re sturdy. They feel right in your hand. I feel it could be sharper. I’ve used it on seven nails and it does the job well. Read more
These are the best nail clippers I've through 5 cocker spaniels! The light really lights up the whole nail so you can easily see the quick. It's critical to avoid the quick! They fit very comfortably in my hand with a good grip. They trim quickly and easily. They're the only ones I've seen with a light. It's well worth the reasonable preice. Read more
Item was easy to use and I especially liked having the light. It enabled me to clearly see where the cut was going so I did not injure the paw. I recommend this. Read more
These are probably ok for at home use. The led is probably good for a novice that is terrified to cut the quick. For a professional the lights in the way and the guard is also on the wrong side of the nail clipper and serves absolutely no purpose. so it’s really just there for looks I guess. Not that I ever use the guards they always leave the nails way too long and are just in the way so I usually loosen or remove them. My biggest problem was the led light being unnecessary and cumbersome. Also makes it difficult to use on large dogs. Sent back. Another note: you can’t use this nail clipper in the tub and as a professional groomer, I do a lot of nail clipping in the tub because of the light, you wouldn’t want to get it wet, which I should have thought about before purchasing .

Sharp, light works perfect even on darker nails. The back stop prevent you from taking too much off. 10/10 Read more
I have always trimmed my pups nails. I would hit a quick every now and then and and quick stop on hand. I would feel guilty hitting the quick and seeing a spot of blood. I used these new trimmers today and having the light to see the quick made me feel so much more confident. I believe it made my pups feel better as well. It was hard to take pictures showing the light and how it shows the quick. I love these clippers! A VERY good buy for peace of mind. There aren't instructions to replace the battery and I hope I don't have to buy another pair when these go out! I would give these to my friends who are pet parents! What an awesome tool! Read more
