LED lights on the PawSafe dog nail clippers shine through the nail to make it easier to spot the quick. By having the light attached to the clippers, you do not have to struggle to hold the clippers, the dog’s paw, and the flashlight, making the whole process infinitely easier. The LED light is particularly helpful for dogs with black nails, where the quick is completely hidden. Cutting the quick is extremely painful for dogs, so being able to easily see the quick and avoid it is a much safer way to trim your dog’s nails.
