3.0 out of 5 stars Too big for small dogs, June 19, 2009

These are very well made clippers, sturdily built, with a sharp blade, and nice grips on the handles. The addition of a file and styptic powder were a great idea, and come in very handy. Unfortunately, the blade itself is so wide that I cannot position it well between the curved nail and the pad on my dog's little paws (and she's not even really tiny- she's 15 lbs). I tried to hold it sideways, but the angle came out all wrong, and I cut the quick a couple of times (thus, the file and styptic came in handy). For a medium-sized dog, these are great clippers, but I definitely wouldn't recommend for small or toy breeds.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a few caveats..., May 28, 2009

I ordered the small size to use on 2 dogs:
*an 11 pound Papillon mix
*and a 4 pound Maltese.

Pros:
*gives a better, cleaner cut than the guillotine-style cutters
*fairly inexpensive with good grip handles
*comes with a file and styptic powder

Cons:
*it was still too big to use on the small Maltese. Since her nail grows sort of curved -- into the nail pad, there was no room to make a cut without either cutting her nail pad or way into the quick.

I ended up using a nail file and toenail clippers on her. Alot more work but at least I was assured that her quick wouldn't get cut.
*The nail file/styptic powder idea is a good one -- fits right into the handle. But lacks in practicality. The powder comes in a tiny little plastic bag that is twisted up to fit into the nail file. So after opening it, and trying to get the powder into the container was difficult. I emptied the powder onto a piece of paper and tried to use the paper as a funnel to get the powder in. Still a mess. You're better off just buying a small container of styptic powder.

Also, the nail file is again, a handy idea but it's not really usable for tiny dogs because the file portion doesn't extend to the edge...

All in all, I give it 3 stars because I don't think it's worth buying if you have a tiny breed (ie small Maltese) but seems to work well on the medium sized dog.
I think I will look into the electrical rotary took for the little one.

As a first time dog owner, I am extremely satisfied with this clipper. It is sharp and very easy to use on my shih tzu. Each cut is very smooth and precise.
