I have found that I prefer clipping Herman's nails than using the Dremmel. At first he didnt mind the Dremmel, but last time he ran from it. Plus I wasn't good at it. I think once I got more comfortable with using the clippers he learns to tolerate it (one nail at a time is my limit - so 2.5 weeks for a manicure LOL) And I have never cut the quick!
I use the Furminator clippers now. They seem to work OK, but I'm sure there must be better. They have this horrible nail guard which I removed because if I would use it I'd definitely cut his quick. But now there is a big screw sticking out - and after I clip a nail it locks. So that makes for a lot of stopping and starting and giving him time to run away. I feel like I crush the nail with these as well.
Do you have any recommendations on a really good pair of sturdy and sharp clippers?
