Victoria AZ: I didn't know what size clippers to buy so I purchased this size and another size with the thought of returning if they don't work. I also hoped the bigger ones would work for my small chihuahua dogs. The smaller ones worked okay for a cat nail, but the bigger ones were still too small for my chihuahua dogs. On the bigger ones I didn't do an exchange on them because I felt, though they might work well if I got a bigger pair, I was only allowed one free exchange. I felt as nice as they are they are too expensive even though they could be nice. These are like all pet clippers. It depends on how your pets nails are formed and thickness. If you have more than one pet with different sizes of nails, you could never afford to buy enough of these for each pet because they are too expensive. The way these clippers work it caused my chihuahua dogs too much pain. They were also too small to clip enough nail off and some of their nails were different sizes, so you might have to buy several different sizes to cut just one pets nails? The smaller ones for the cat would work fine (if my darn cat would let me cut his nails). Someday maybe my cat will let me use these on his nails, but if he never...

Agrippina Frogbottom: This is my third Zen clipper. I own two XS clippers (because owning two increases the probability that I can find one when I need it) and just purchased the S. The XS works well for the claws of two of my cats (adults, 8 lbs and 10lbs) but my 12-pound chonk grows heftier claws, and the XS only took off the very tippy-tips of her plus-size murder mittens. Size S does the job! My cats still aren’t exactly eager to have their claws clipped, but with the Zen Clippers I can get both front paws done in the same session without doing violence to the cat or myself. With ordinary clippers, I usually had to wrestle the cat to get one or two claws done before the cat made her escape, often leaving me with a couple of bleeding wounds as souvenirs. (I once chickened out and had a cat’s claws clipped at the vet’s office. It took two vet techs, neither of whom seemed eager to repeat the experience, and I could hear my cat’s opinion of the proceedings from two rooms away.). Five stars to Zen Clippers for a product that does the job and reduces the stress on me and the kitties! (Note: I did not receive free products or compensation for this review.)

SM: I have a 5.5kg DSH cat, and the XS one is the right size, I hope this helps.

Very Nice Person: These nail trimmers make grooming sessions with my fur baby sooooooooo much better! Like 1000% better. For realz.

Turnip and I both used to be so scared and stressed out when it was time to cut the kitty's nails! It was pretty dang awful. I was always so worried I would clip into the quick of her nailbed and hurt her, as my princess poopmaker kitty is really small and a really squiggly wiggly little crybaby.

First trimming session with these was shockingly fast and stress-free. I was able to swoop in and clip each nail properly on the first try, without needing to wrap her up and restrain her in a towel while she cried, like usual. The very first clip was probably the shortest amount of time I've ever taken to do a clip - her nail just slid in like butter, to exactly the right depth, then the cut was as clean and clear as sparkling springtime mountain glacier water dappled in sunlight and angel dust. :)

However, the nail trimmers are kinda ugly tbh. I wish they were shaped like a shark or pterodactyl or something so they fit in better with my home decor theme. Or at least a purple glitter version to match Turnip's collar. Ahhh, I suppose kitty and I could have...

Anna: The clippers are sturdy and well made and they are spring loaded, but then the problems start.
The smaller the opening and the smaller and more fragile the bird, the harder they are to use safely.
Essentially, the bird has to be held gently but firmly with the claws on one foot exposed and held immobile. Then the tip of one claw has to be put into the clipper hole to cut it. While that goes on, the rest of the claw and quick are obscured.
The smaller the hole and nail, the more complicated this seemingly easy procedure becomes. And unless you are a professional, it’s a 2 person job.
I bought the clipper with the smallest 1.5 mm hole and it is still a little too big for a cockatiel, much less even smaller birds like a budgie.
My husband and I managed to restrain our cockatiel gently and safely. However grabbing one foot and isolating one claw, that kept flexing was not easy. We managed to poke the tip into the tiny hole without the bird moving it bit it was not easy. But we managed to get 7 out of 8. On the last one the bird pushed at the last second and, since the hole was too big, I clipped the quick and it started bleeding profusely. I had styptic powder ready,...

MR7: This is a tough one to rate, the product itself is fantastic. The design offers a real simple nail cutting solution. That being said I bought the large model and it did t don’t my 13lbs Min Pins nails. Not even close. I got the tip of one nail cut and that was it. The hole in the clippers wasn’t big enough and therefore these didn’t work. It’s unfortunate as the money was spent to purchase these but the item doesn’t fit for even a toy sized breed of dog. I have had to give them away to a family with a kitten. I wouldn’t suggest these for a dog but would say they are best for a kitten or maybe some exotic lizard or something. But definitely. Not for a dog.

Good luck.
