Kevin Miller I wish to use these nail trimmers for my relatively small whippet who weighs 12 Kg. I would choose "medium size" if this were an option for these Resco trimmers. Should I select Small or Large? Please can you tell me which breeds of dogs need small and which breeds need large size?

For a 12 kg Whippet, we recommend the Small size Resco Pro Series Nail Clippers.

Whippets typically have fine, narrow nails, and the Small Resco clippers offer better precision and control for this nail type. The Large size is designed for dogs with much thicker nails, such as large and giant breeds, and may be too bulky for smaller nails—potentially causing splintering or crushing.
