Yes, this toe nail clipper will handle thick toe nails. My big toe is pretty thick,also. I have no problems cutting my toe nails. I really love the sturdy handle, as it doesn't bend like others I have had. Hope this will help you. Works great for me.

I bought one of this and two of the bigger size. Both are really great. This one has around 2.5mm opening while the bigger one has a little more (around 2.7mm) but this is just an estimate since I measured with a regular ruler. Both are strong but if your nails are very thick it might be easier for you to cut with the bigger one. Hope it helps.

Absolutely yes! So sharp and well engineered. Mine are thick, too. No problem.

Not thicker than mine I did ask my wife who take care of my toe nails and she is a happy camper

yes you can, but you have to handle the clipper right, because you have to open the clipper a little more then when you start clipping your toenail, sometimes you can't control it hope this would answer your question

You will not have a problem. We have 2 dogs with very thick nails and they cut them no problem. They are very sharp and easy to use. We are very pleased with them!

I own both and think the other does a better job cutting nails (sharper blades), but this product has a nail catcher (the white plastic around it). My nails are tough to cut, so I appreciate the better blades on the other one, but this one work well, too.

These types of clippers are better for cats Cat Nail Clippers Designed by 2 Vets - Sharp, Stainless Steel Blades - Also Great for Puppies, Birds, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and More - Durable, Long Lasting, Easy to Use - by KittyNails I bought these safari's for my cat and I think I had an issue with how her nails were turning out. So I bought ones like the amazon link I posted here from elsewhere.

This clipper is really designed for finish work, trimming neck line, around ears and sideburns. Sure you can cut longer hair using the guides but this isn't really the workhorse for this job. The thicker the guide, the longer the cut length. If you need to know the exact cutting length go to a beauty supply store to compare with the other guides that are marked. I'd start with the thickest guide first run it through the hair on back on neck & if that isn't short enough try the size next to first & so on.

My big toe nails are thick and curved. The extra jaw size is necessary and sufficient for cutting them.

The standard for finger nail clippers are 3/8" and toe nails 1/2" I have a box full of all types and makes since 1952, and measured those just for you. An 1/16 of an inch here there shouldn't make much difference, the cutting edge and it's longevity is where the emphasis should lay.

They work waaaaay better. I think they have a faster clipping speed, so they will go through much thicker hair. I tried using human clippers on my dog...they got stuck in her hair immediately and didn't work at all. I purchased the Andis clippers and they go right through her hair, like a hot knife through butter. �

It makes nails STRONGER! My nails don't bend nearly as easily. Follow directions on bottle. Great stuff!

Most definetly. I have bad case of fungus nail causing really thick, deformed nails and it does a great job!

It will cut your fingernails too. It is alot bigger than the fingernail clipper by Seki edge, and most ppl dont like cutting their fingernails with toenail clippers because they are so much bigger. I just bought one of each! Toenail clippers and a set of the fingernail clippers

Karin, No, the groomer cannot clip the nails. The nail caps cover the entire nail and grow out with time. My dog lost them naturally. Be warned though, the dogs nails will get long as they won't wear down like they normally do from walking on pavement or running in the yard.

Yes. It works really well to cut fingernails. It's a straight blade and I feel like I have more control over it. I have very large hands for a woman and therefore my fingernails are big and wide. A regular fingernail trimmer will not work on my nails. This was a great purchase for me.

I've never used the nail guide....if it wasn't for this product I wouldn't be able to keep my little dogs black claws short.

It's larger than the usual fingernail clippers, but I see no reason why you couldn't use it. It might be a bit trickier to get a clean cut.

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.
