I think some need to re-think why animals do not like their nails cut.
A dog or cat type breeds, finger/toe, however you see it, is exactly that. The same resemblance to our fingers or toes, but with a hard shell. The nail/claw being the protection around the fleshy portion. Inside that fleshy portion are nerves. The closer you cut, the more sensitive. Guillotine or the side-cutter type clippers have tendency to "crush" the nerves.
If you've ever cut off the tip of your finger, it's likely some animals feel similar
