I have a 28lb Pug and was wondering whether I should get the Large or Small Trimmer. The Vet usually cuts his nails.

I don't have any personal experience with pugs but I would suggest the small/ medium trimmer. The large works great on our chocolate lab but would be too much for our smaller rat terrier mix. Good luck & if by chance you do cut too close baking soda or turmeric powder is suggested to stop bleeding :)

I use the large on my husky so I don't know if that helps... He's about 45lbs, still a puppy

No you need the large size. Pugs have thick tough nails. You need this size and power of the large clipper to clip safely. The small clippers are more appropriate for dogs like yorkies and puppies.

the thinner one is a little louder but if the dog is calmed, normally shouldn't be a problem. As a groomer in some cases, dogs are ok with it and for some other ones I just rather use the bigger one which doesn't scare them. Overall I find them both useful.

I believe pugs are short hair dogs and are small dogs. If it was my dog I would probably go for the small. I hope that helps good luck!!

I trimmed with scissors both ways. I think you need to let your pooch play with it first to see how much kibble falls or not. I trimmed all of mine because my pooch was getting bored without kibble falling out. It is a matter of preference. I also used dog food combined with treats so he does not get too much overweight.

I'd recommend starting with the small. It will be easier for your dog to get his mouth around and successfully get the food out. Also, with the small, since you would put less food in it, it will be a lower calorie treat for your dog, important when you have a smaller dog that is burning off less calories per day then his larger canine friends.

i use these nail clippers for my cats and the clippers are wonderful. I have been told that for a dog you have to be more careful in cutting the nails because if you do cut the nails too short they can bleed and you would not want to do that. My best advise to you is to speak to your veterinarian about how short you should cut your dog's nails.

I have a 5 lb. pom and the Ardis cutting surface is too large to use between her legs and under the stomach. Cutting the back is easier but you must maintain a slow, steady flow. In the past, I used the Conair's men's mustache cutter and it was faster and easier to use. It was battery operated and I didn't have to contend with the electrical cord. I wouldn't purchase another Ardis pet groomer.

Yes, just give you dog some Peanut butter on a spoon it occupies them while you are trimming their nails but if they get fussy let it go and come back at a later date. You must trim a very small amount 1/16" or 1/8" at a time to Be Sure and Do Not Cut into the Quick. If you do cut into the Quick you need something like Kwik Stop Powder to stop the bleeding, also your dog will not like you for a little while. You can find the Quick by looking at the underside of the dogs nail to see where the nail meets flesh. It would be like cutting the tip of your finger so please be careful. As for the trimmers there are two sizes small and large I have both and they are great. Enjoy CWN

It's probably best for small animals like guinea pigs because of the way their nails are made. There are dog clippers for small dogs.

I would go with the large one for med to long fur, unless your German Shepard has short fur. I use the large for long fur on both my dogs, one has long fur he is 70 lbs , the other has short fur and he is 45 lbs.

I think a #10 comes with it, which almost skins them. I use a #7 for a short cut on my small dogs, not sure that dog size matters. if my dogs behaved better I would use the #10 on their bellies...

The Giant FURminator with a 5" edge is listed as being for dogs over 90 lbs I use the large tool with a 4" edge for dogs over 50lbs. My biggest dog is 70 lbs and it does the job.

I would recommend the large, even though they are supposed to be for bigger dogs. My sister even has a 12lb dog who likes to chew the large size! The only difference might be in its ability to have a "cleaning" affect. God Bless!

I have not complaints and it fits my needs. My dogs do not exceed 30 pounds. The whole that the nail fits into is large enough for a dog of your size and I think it would work fine. However - if you wanted something more sturdy given that you have a bigger dog you may prefer the large. I have no issue with it from a sturdy standpoint with my smaller dogs.

The 6" do a good job on my BIG Labradoodles' faces. Don't think you would need larger scissors if you are trimming a smaller dog's face.

I would say they are for medium to larger dogs (ours is 60 lb) based on the placement of the safety piece. Smaller claws might extend farther Through the blade before encountering the stop. That said, the clippers are sharp so if you use caution and watch where the claw is being trimmed they should be fine.

For a pugs length hair you would want the short hair version. The long hair is for dogs with much longer coats. Such as husky, lab, shepard, etc.
