10 Best Nail Clippers for Dogs in the UK 2024 | Grinders, Scissors and More

Our top pick for nail clippers for dogs is the Gonicc pet nail clipper. With high quality stainless steel blades, that cut smoothly and cleanly through your pets' nails. It also protects the quick of your dog's nails with a safety stop, and an arc design to ensure that the pads of your pup's paws aren't uncomfortable in any way. 

For secure and easy storage, the clippers include an easy to use safety lock. Finally, the ergonomic handles are designed to fit easily and safely into your hand, to avoid any slips. It also features an in-body nail file, hidden in the handle of the clippers, that you can use to smooth down any rough edges. 

The Pecute Pet Nail Grinder comes high up on our list for two reasons. It is almost as convenient to use as nail clippers, taking only 1 hour to charge for 4 hours of battery life. It is also adaptable to any pet size depending on its multifunctional grinder. 

You can use 6000 rpm (rotations per minute) for grinding your dog's nails as accurately as possible, or for a quicker approach, you can use its faster setting of 6800 rpm. The grinder itself is a diamond cut head, which should be durable and long-lasting for your regular pet grooming needs!

Including some valuable features, more than anything the DakPets Nail Clippers boast the quality of their blades. 3.5mm stainless steel blades that are durable and remain sharp ensure quick and accurate cutting. 

Moreover, the clippers include a protective guard to reduce instances of you cutting too far down the nail, and ergonomic, extra-long non-slip handles to increase precision. The clippers also feature a safety lock for secure and easy storage and have the added feature of a nail file included in the body of the clippers, to neaten out any edges on your pup's nails. 

Available in both small and large sizes to suit the size of your dog, the Rosewood Soft Protection Nail Clipper boasts high-quality stainless steel blades, easy precision and smooth cutting.

With its ergonomic handgrip, it is easy to control, and it has a locking function on the side so that you can store the clippers safely when not in use. It can also be used for your feline friends too. 

The deluxe JW Pet Guillotine Nail Clipper is ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. Its non-slip handle is designed to fit the natural curvature of the hand so that you can confidently cut your pup's nails. 

With a safety guard to guide you when cutting your dog's nails, you can confidently ensure that you only cut the necessary amount in a quick and clean cut. If you have any other furry or feathery friends like birds, cats and reptiles, these clippers can also be used to cut their nails too! 

Deluxe nail clippers for medium to giant breeds of dog, this is a heavy-duty clipper with a built-in nail guard, which helps prevent cutting your dog's nails too short. If you're worried, the back of the clippers comes with added instructions. 

With an easy to grip rubber handle, it ensures a smooth clipping action and maximum comfort when clipping your dog's nails. Sharp and easy to use, these nail clippers are an ideal simple option. 

Another guillotine style blade, but with some interesting and unique features. The first being an LED light featured on the body of the clipper, above the blade. This aims to illuminate the quick of the nail of your pet, so you don't cut too close to the blood vessels. However, bear in mind that it will only work for pets with light coloured nails.

It also features a nail catcher to avoid any extra mess or clean up and an ergonomic handle for easy grip. Definitely an interesting option for people who are nervous to cut their pup's nails, although some people may find that the multiple features make the nail clippers too bulky and are ultimately not so necessary. 

A perfect tool if you're looking to get all of your dog grooming needs covered at once. The JUYICAI tool includes blades for trimming hair near the face and footpads, but let us focus on the nail grinding capabilities. The nail grinder is USB rechargeable, by USB outlet, PC or laptop. It also boasts noise less than 45dB, so that even for nervous canines, it will reduce stress and resistance. 

Note that the JUYICAI also includes nail clippers. Although the nail grinder says it is suitable for pets of all sizes, JUYICAI advises clipping long or thick nails with these clippers prior to using the grinder. Great for its many functions, but maybe not ultimately be so practical for dogs or owners nervous about dealing with claws! The shape is smooth and streamlined but may be harder to grip. 

Suitable for pets with thicker nails, this one-size-for-all claw clipper has a strong guillotine-style cutting action. The clipper includes a safety cap for storing the clipper, to protect the clipper's micro-serrated blades. These blades are treated with heat, to stay sharp for longer. 

The Mikki Nail Clipper has a soft-grip handle, but as it is smooth you may, as with the Groom Professional, need to have a particularly steady hand to use it. However, it does have a precision cutting blade, which makes cutting in one smooth action easier. 

These heavy-duty, stainless steel nail clippers have a spring-loaded and strong blade that cuts through the nail quickly and easily, minimising any risk of your dog being uncomfortable. 

However, we would advise bearing in mind that this is only available for smaller animals. Also, although it looks streamlined and simple, the lack of rubber grip on the handles make it important that whoever is using it is confident and skilled at what they are doing!
