I saw nail clippers at Petco that have something built into them that tells you that you are about to cut into the quick BEFORE you cut!

Anyone know of these? If so, what is your take on them?
Sometimes they have to cut in the quick if they have been allowed to grow too long. As the nail grows so does the quick, so keeping the nails short is the best way to avoid the quick growing too long. The nails should never touch the floor, or the foot will spread.
