At a glance
The six checked examples cost £8 to £24. Manual clippers start at £8; the two battery grinders are £15 and £24, but their future battery and sanding-band costs were not captured and must not be treated as zero.
Exact UK product pages checked 10 September 2026. This is a specification-and-cost comparison, not hands-on testing, clipping instruction or a universal safety ranking.

Compare the format before the feature badge
Manual models have no battery or sanding-band line item. The powered examples bundle different starter accessories, so compare what is included and price future consumables separately when a matching replacement listing is available.
Treat size labels as model-specific
The small and large Pets at Home clippers are separate products. Mikki describes its scissor model as intended for smaller pets, despite the retailer carrying broad species and age wording; this comparison preserves the narrower manufacturer positioning.
Sources: Pets at Home · Pets at Home · Pets at Home · Mikki PetRead guards, lights and caps as features
The listings describe rounded tips, a safety cap or an LED on particular models. Those are attributable specifications, not evidence that a tool prevents over-trimming or suits every dog.
Sources: Pets at Home · Pets at Home · Pets at HomeDo not mix a tool price with a clipping appointment
These are retail purchase prices for home-grooming tools. A groomer, veterinary practice or nurse nail-clipping appointment is a separate service with its own labour, handling and eligibility scope.
Compare the complete equipment basket
Use the exact model and size you intend to buy. Add essential accessories and consumables for a clearly chosen period; do not count included parts twice.
Enter your own quotes, including VAT where payable. Prices are deliberately blank. Enter zero for a charge that does not apply. Calculations stay in your browser; quoted amounts are not sent to us.
Replacement frequency is your assumption unless independently measured. Keep kilograms and litres distinct. This total excludes subscriptions and electricity unless you include them in additional charges.
Worked arithmetic example
Illustration only: a £100 delivered product plus 6 replacement packs at £5 totals £130. This is not a product offer or lifespan estimate.
Method: multiply each price by its quantity, round each line to the nearest penny, then add. No inflation or unentered charges are assumed.
