  Anyone have recommendations for nail clippers? I’ve had my buns for over 2 years and I’ve never clipped their nails. Since I have three now, I don’t think it’s fair to ask the place I take them to clip all three. It’s a shelter that does adoption events and clips for free. I pay/donate but there’s always a huge line; even with two before I felt bad. Anyhow, I recently got the courage up to start clipping and for the light nails, it’s not a problem. The clipper I had was a tiny SuperPets clipper. It worked really well but the handle is so small. Went to buy a Furminator and there was a combo pack with a nail clipper. It has a heafty handle but the nail clipper itself is HORRIBLE. Nails got smashed instead of clipped .
  
  So, any recommendations? It’d be helpful if it had something to help with black nails too. Tried hold it up to light and it still looked all black to me.

  I third kitty nail scissors. Work great! I got mine for about $3 and had them for a couple years without any issues.

  Both of the ones I have are scissor style. The Furminator one is for cats; it just sucks. The SuperPets one is tiny… so tiny I feel like it’s going to break (works well though).

  I’ve never used these so I’m not sure on quality but I did notice the other day that Safari makes a pair with a larger handle:

  I’m not sure if that would fix the too small issue?

  Thanks for the link. Mine looks about the same so maybe I just have to get used to it. I’ve only clipped a couple times so I’m still a weeny and possibly projecting it onto the tools instead =).
