Notice: Addressing Misinformation About Nail Clipping
Many of you may have seen a recent video circulating online claiming that cutting dog’s nails with clippers causes damage, using fear-based tactics to promote the purchase of a nail Dremel. Even I found myself questioning whether any new research had emerged, which prompted me to do some digging of my own.
It’s important to understand that this video is an advertisement, not a scientific discovery, and it provides no valid evidence or sources to support its claims.
While there is a small element of truth, poor-quality, blunt, or guillotine-style clippers (which are not recommended in our industry) can cause minor nail fractures , this is not true of all nail clippers. Professional-grade scissor-style clippers, when used correctly and maintained properly, are perfectly safe and widely used by qualified groomers and veterinary professionals.
whether you prefer clippers or a Dremel. Both methods can be effective and comfortable for dogs when done correctly.
I encourage you all to do your own research as companies have become very clever with thier advertising and in this case are very convincing!
