Animal Claw Shearing Apparatuses and Methods of Using the Same

摘要

Apparatuses disclosed herein aid in shearing animal claws. Specifically, the present invention provides a shearing apparatus having at least one curved blade, but preferably two curved blades, allowing cutting of the animal's claw from opposite sides of the animal's claw, and at least one well for placing the animal's claw therein, wherein said two curved blades are disposed at an aperture located at the bottom of the well. The well and aperture combination stops the animal's claw from being sheared too close to nerve endings and the animal's blood supply, preventing or minimizing the incidence of injury and suffering to the animal. Methods of using the apparatus are further disclosed herein.

主权项

1. An apparatus for shearing an animal claw comprising:
a first arm and a second arm, the first arm connected to the second arm and movable relative to the second arm; a first aperture disposed in the first arm, the first aperture bounded by a first cutting blade; a second aperture disposed in the second arm, wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are aligned together when the first arm is in a first position relative to the second arm, and further wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are misaligned when the first is in a second position relative to the second arm.
