Description
Nails that get too long snag on bedding and cage bars, and they make handling painful for both of you. The Kaytee Pro-Nail Trimmer is a professional-quality trimmer scaled to small-animal nails rather than a dog tool pressed into service. At 4 inches long with an easy-grip handle and a moulded finger rest, it gives you the control to make quick, precise cuts — which matters when you are working on a guinea pig who would rather be somewhere else. Regular trimming reduces scratching during handling and stops nails from breaking or snagging.

How to Use
- Sit somewhere well lit and have a second person hold your pet if you can.
- Hold one foot at a time and look for the pink quick inside the nail before you cut.
- Trim only the clear tip, staying well clear of the quick — take less than you think you need.
- On dark nails, take very small slices and stop when the cut surface starts to look moist.
- Keep styptic powder within reach in case you nick a quick, and trim every few weeks.

Nail trimming is the routine care task most owners put off, and the longer the gap the harder it gets: an overgrown nail pushes the quick further out, so there is less to safely remove each time. Short, frequent trims are easier on everyone. If your pet will not sit still, a few seconds and one foot per session beats a wrestling match, and a second person holding them makes the whole thing faster and safer.
