Are these ok for small dogs including puppies? My dog is 2 lbs and 10 oz.

Are these OK for small dogs including puppies? My answer would be "No." There is a guard that prevents too deep cutting, but the thickness of the jaws themselves mean you can't get the nail close enough to get a cut in even with the guard moved aside. I barely make it with a large cat with the guard moved aside. In short, they are too big for the job.

Yes! These nail clippers are great for any size dog really. There is a safe guard in the back of blade to ensure you only cut so much at a time. I have a Westie and have been using them since he was 6 months old. They work perfect for him :) These are a must for any pet owner! They were recommended by my vet! Hope this was helpful.

They are ok for small dogs, I use these on my imaal terrier. Also, I used them on my german shepherd puppy but she was already quite big. Lastly, most puppies don't need their nails cut, just filed down.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't. Just don't rely on the "guard" that's supposed to keep you from cutting too far up. I don't, even for my bigger dogs.

They are very, very sharp. The "guard" doesn't stay in place ... it swivels too freely. I have a huge chocolate lab and it cuts his toenails beautifully...just can't rely on the depth without the functioning guard. Our dog objects to having his nails cut and isn't very cooperative...that's why I would appreciate the guard feature. A smaller dog wouldn't be as apt to pull their leg back as strongly and therefore, the guard my not be an issue. It's spiffy otherwise ! :)

Absolutely. I have used these nail clippers on very young, very small puppies up to adult giant breeds of dogs. I love them for puppies because they are very sharp and put very little pressure on the nails.

I have two Yorkies and they weigh between 5-6 pounds. You would need to order a extra small. I love these dog pants and they last a long time.

No, they're too big! I bought them for my Jack Russell and they were way too big! I gave them to a friend who has a pit. Hope that helps!

When my yorkies were puppies and weighed about 2lbs they did fit so I bought 2 and staggered them back to back and that worked until they got to 3lbs and didn't fit any more. I now use the extra one for other areas in my house when needed. Hope this was helpful.

Unfortunately the smallest dogs I have are from 15-20lbs. And they are Corgi's Jack Russells.

I have a 17 lb Mini snauzer and they were to small, but they did fit my 9 lb Terrier. Hope this helps.

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

I have an 8 pound yorkie she tolerate s it fine but under 4 pounds I'd say no. I'm pretty sure the actual ad tells you the smallest s weight size. You'll be hard pressed to find something to fit your dog. They tend to have collapsing tracheas when they're that tiny I'd be very careful.

Hello, yes .. They are approximately 15.25"X15"X12.25 (this is the small one you are looking at) so depending on the kind of dog food just picture the size... Different types of food has different weight. In general terms, this size container can hold about 5-7 lbs, maybe more.

I'm afraid too big ... They fit our mini schnauzers perfect ... They're about 20 lbs :)

I think you would be ok with them being only 3.5 lbs..my Yorkie weighs over 6 and it was not comfortable walking with it, nor did she seem to feel secure in it..

I would say yes but if it's a really small puppy you should watch him/her, I have a 4lb poodle and she loves them so I think it would be OK.

I suppose so. The treats are very lite weight but last my 2 small dogs about a mth.

Yes, I purchase these for my Yorkies, who range in size from 3 to 7 lbs. and they LOVE them!

They're not that large. I put them in one of those little "pill pockets" they sell at the pet sotore & she swallows it right down. My dog is a Westy & only weighs about 12 lbs. so she's not very big. Hope this helps answer your question. :-)
