Riley & Rex - Non-Slip Handle Pet Nail Clipper
TL;DR: The Riley & Rex Non-Slip Handle Pet Nail Clipper is an at-home grooming tool with stainless steel blades and a textured, non-slip handle for safer trims. Available in Small and Large, it suits dogs (and smaller pets) of different sizes and is a practical pick for routine nail care near me.
Regular nail trims keep dogs comfortable on walks and prevent overgrown claws from affecting posture and mobility. This clipper is built around two simple priorities: a sharp, clean cut and a secure grip while you work.

- Two size options: Small (approx. 4.72″ blade length) and Large (approx. 6.25″).

Which size should you choose?
Pick Small for toy and small-breed dogs, puppies, or cats with thinner nails. Choose Large for medium and large dogs with thicker, tougher claws that need more leverage to cut cleanly.
Who is it for?
This clipper is made for pet owners who prefer handling nail trims at home instead of booking a grooming appointment each time. The non-slip handle is particularly helpful for anyone new to trimming, or for steady, careful work on older dogs — a useful option if you've been searching for nail care for seniors near me.
How do you use it safely?
Trim small amounts at a time, cutting below the quick (the pink area visible in lighter nails). Keep styptic powder on hand in case of a nick, and reward calm behaviour between cuts to build a positive routine.
Aim to trim every 3–4 weeks, or when you hear nails clicking on hard floors. Consistent short sessions are easier on anxious dogs than long, occasional ones.
Pair it with the rest of your grooming kit
Round out at-home grooming with the Riley & Rex - Non-Slip Handle Slicker Brush for detangling, or the Riley & Rex - Pet Grooming Glove for loose-hair removal during bath time. Cat owners may prefer the smaller, cat-specific Dexypaws - Cat Nail Clipper for more delicate claws.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.

Frequently asked questions
Everything pet parents usually ask about this product.
-
What sizes does this nail clipper come in?
The Riley & Rex Non-Slip Handle Pet Nail Clipper is available in two sizes: Small and Large. Choose Small for puppies and toy breeds, and Large for medium to large dogs with thicker nails.
-
What makes the handle non-slip?
The handle is designed with a textured, non-slip grip to keep the clipper stable during trimming. This helps reduce accidental slips when your dog moves, making the process safer and more controlled.
-
Is this clipper suitable for cats or only dogs?
This clipper is primarily designed for dogs, with the Small size suitable for very small breeds. For most cats, the Small size can work, but a dedicated feline clipper may be more comfortable.
-
How often should I trim my dog's nails?
Most dogs benefit from a nail trim every 3 to 4 weeks, though active dogs who walk on pavement may need less frequent trimming. If you hear nails clicking on hard floors, it is time for a trim.

Can I pick this up in Toronto?
