My recommendation is not to use clippers at all. I use a Dremel tool -- the
particular model I have is the Dremel MultiPro Cordless 7.2V Model 770 Type
1, and I use a sanding cylinder tip at the 7,500 RPM speed (the slower
speed). There's no pinching sensation for the chihuahua when the clippers
close, and because the nail is sanded down gradually rather than cut off
abruptly, there's no sharp rough edges and very little chance of coming too
close to the quick. Luna's breeder taught me this trick. With it, I can
even confidently do Luna's black nails.
Dremel actually makes a model for doing pet nails. Beware of this. It has
a crappy, cheap motor, and the rotations are so slow that nail care will
take forever, a fact that your chi will not appreciate.
