Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022
I’ve always used scissor type cutters and I’ve never felt comfortable, therefore neither has my dog. He is already easily spooked, add in that’s he a strong dog that DOES NOT like his nails clipped and the anxiety sets in and I suppose for good reason. I cut a quick of his once and so did my son. He is tethered and muzzled during clipping but still pulls and moves his legs and feet and we are both shaking. I knew I needed to do something but what? I found these Resco clippers while doing research and decided to give them a try and I’m glad I did.
When I first took them out of the box I saw how small they are and chuckled. Then I held them in my hand, felt their weight and I knew they were they were strong enough. When I squeezed them a few time I could feel their cutting strength and knew I was onto something good. I have a Golden Retriever and he gets his nails clipped when he gets bathed and trimmed at the groomer. My other dog is an 80 lb mix of explosive strength but also a cuddly baby.
The Resco worked great! It took a few successful nail cuts to gain confidence and by the time I got to the last few cuts I was totally comfortable and Zeke was much better.
He stands while I curl a paw under so the pad is facing upward and I can see the bottom of the nail. I take a wet sponge and clean the bottoms of the nails and it helps to see the quick when determining a cutting point. With this design, the ‘loop’ guides the nail to keep it centered and the handle squeezes so effortless it makes it easy to find the correct depth and makes a clean cut accurately, quickly and a much better sounding cutting noise. Some almost silent but nothing like the other cutters. I’ve found what I’ve been looking for. Also, with replaceable blades, you can always have a familiar, sharp tool that works great AND? yes, and made in the USA 🇺🇸
