Zen Clipper Precise Dog Nail Clippers - Adjustable Safety Blade, No Overcutting - Stress Free Dog Grooming at Home - Easy to Use Pet Clippers with Sharp Blades for Clean, Splinter Free Cut

I was struggling to clip my kittens nails beforehand and was getting worried about keeping them trimmed. With this clipper it's easier than ever. I'm able to clip her nails without any help and it's a lot less stressful since I don't have to worry about cutting the quick since I've adjusted the setting so it cannot be done on accident

I never leave reviews. On top of that, this is my fourth attempt at writing a review because my app keeps refreshing. So that tells you how much I love these nail clippers, that I’m willing to redo it four times! I have three small dogs and three cats and for the first time EVER, nail trims were a breeze! I am shocked at how much I love these. I have already sent this link to multiple friends to purchase. I have gone through so many different pairs in the past and could never find anything this perfect. They were either too flimsy, too bulky, too dull. You name it. And I even have three different sizes of the other version they have. Don’t even bother with those. Get these! These are lightweight, sturdy, and SHARP. They feel solid. There is no kick when I’m cutting the nails either, which I think my animals appreciated. And they are adjustable! Just do it. I promise it will be worth it.

Make it easy

It's perfect as is, but do mind that you don't adjust it on accident between clips. I like the flexibility, but you can always get one of their set size models as well. I used one of the smaller set size models to get my cat used to it. The only thing the cat complains about (vocally) is how long I take doing it. I'm cautious ...

I had been using the non-adjustable Zen Clipper in the 4 mm size, it was wonderful and my dog and I were completely relaxed when I used it. I never had to worry about cutting the quick, I could have trimmed her nails blindfolded. Unfortunately, during a dental procedure, a vet tech decided to "do me a favor" and Dremeled my dog's nails way too short. They grew back wider at the ends instead of pointed and the 4 mm Zen Clipper no longer fit while the 5 mm one is way too big. They don't make a 4.5 mm which would have been perfect. I had in the past tried the first adjustable clipper Zen came out with and returned it immediately since it was like using a hedge clipper on an 11-pound dog, way too big, among other design flaws. So I called the company and asked if there were any way they could make the Zen Clipper I loved in a 4.5 mm size. I have no idea why they skipped that size since all the other sizes go up in .5 mm increments. The woman with whom I spoke laughed at me and said their new Junior version of the adjustable one would work fine for me. I told her of my issues with the larger one and she kept insisting the Junior one would be different. So I relented and ordered it. I tried to use it for months, too long for me to be able to send it back. I quicked my dog many times because the hole is not round, it is diamond-shaped, and depending on how the nail goes in the dimensions are not the same. The head is way too big so difficult to position around the nail without hitting the pad of the foot, if my dog moved at all the nail would rotate in the hole to the larger dimension and slip too far up the nail. If I didn't realize it I would cut the quick, if I did realize it and try to remove the clipper, my dog would flinch and the clipper would end up stuck, hanging off her foot, and freak her out even more. This clipper does not make a clean, smooth cut without sound like the non-adjustable one does, it seems to more crush the nail. It might be OK for a large dog but is very cruel for a small dog. The adjustment wheel is easy to turn accidentally, too. The blades are so thick it's hard to see where the nail will be cut and how much will come off. It's just a horrible tool. This experience has ruined the trust I had developed over the years with my dog during nail trims and now she needs to be sedated when I do it. I have to use a regular clipper which is nerve-wracking for me after all of this. Zen should be embarrassed to have made these adjustable clippers and push them on people, especially after their original clippers have been so wonderful.

These are great. I use them to clip my cats claws. The last thing I would want to do is hurt her, and these give me the peace of mind to know that can't happen. I set the opening to very small. I'd rather do it more often without harm. Worth the price. Cheaper than one appointment with a professional groomer. Highly recommended.

The adjustment wheel gave out after 2 uses. I must have gotten a defective unit (giving it the benefit of the doubt since other reviews sound positive). The vendor replied that it would be willing to exchange it for me, but since it was purchased through Amazon, and it's outside the 30-Day return period, exchange will not be possible. Huge waste of money for me :-(

Best nail cutters for my mini poodle. It was so much safer cutting her nails this morning with the Zen Clipper. No tearing or shredding. Just clean cut where it was needed.

It’s reasonably well made and the adjustment is very fine which is great for a kitten to make sure you avoid the quick. The issue I have with it is that the jaws are very big, to the point that I can barely see my cats claws while I’m trying to get them in the hole and taking several attempts. What should be a two second job per claw is taking a lot longer and the cat starts to get restless. The jaws are unnecessarily large and could be significantly smaller so you can see what you’re doing and would also be easier to manoeuvre the claw in without the paw obstructing it. Probably fine for a dog. Overall a great idea but a bit large and over engineered.

I was surprised at how easy these clippers were to use. My 8 month old kitten is quite lively! but we were able to clip her nails surprisingly easily with these clippers. Once set to an approximate size, the hole easily slides over a nail, allowing for an easy cut. The motion is easy, quiet (so it doesn't freak her out) and they cut cleanly. Very happy with this purchase.

I have two small dogs who have black nails. It's so much easier and faster to trim their nails now that I know I'm not going to hit the quick. I highly recommend!

It was a huge pain to get the nails trimmed for my 20lbs 2 years old Shiba Inu. Tried different types of clippers, nail grinder, and even the grooming hammock, but nothing really worked. Zen clipper is like a miracle. I started with a smaller size to let my dog get used to it, then changed to a bigger size to have the nail work done. No more bleeding and no more stress!

Finally a dog nail clipper that a left handed person can use!
