Best Dog Nail Clippers and Grinders

To evaluate the best method for clipping a dog’s nails, we ordered four of the most popular dog nail clippers and grinders. We used each system with our 9-year-old skittish border collie, Gavyn, evaluating each for ease of use, ease of cleanup, and noise level. We also spoke with veterinarians about the best nail clipper or grinder for your pooch and the most painless, stress-free tips on accomplishing every pet owner’s least favorite grooming task. Here are our top picks.
