The best doggy nail clippers (in my opinion!) are the ones
that look like little garden shears, not the ones that have a
blade that slides forward like a guillotine. With the guillotine type, if the blade is not razor sharp there
will be tendency for the nail to be crushed rather than
"sheared" off - and you'll only get to hurt your dog once to
never be allowed near their nails again without a major fuss! I
also find it easier to see what I'm actually cutting with the
"shears" type like the blue ones above.
I haven't found it necessary to spend a fortune on nail
clippers - I've been using the same reject shop version for the
last 4 years with no problems. Just make sure you clean and oil
them before putting away so they don't go rusty. A friend of
mine has a really heavy duty posh set of clippers, but I find
them too heavy and bulky. She loves 'em though, so it's
subjective.
