nail trimmers

[OH Osthaus]

do any of you use the powered trimmers for your dogs nails-

and have you used more than one brand- which do you like or recommend?

I have always used an old style scissor cutter but the edge of the nail is left blunt and i have seen some spilt

Tweed's nails were trimmed the day we picked him up, and they need to be taken back a little already. the difference in growth rates amazes me

Griffin, our recently passed setter, needed his done every month and I was taking a fair amount. Other dogs - Like our Golden Macallan - almost never need them done - he is four and I do not think i do his more than once a year, and I take very little then.

the scissor cutters risk hitting the quick, i do understand friction heat is the danger with the rotary units, but that is a matter of taking your time.

so - recommendations?
