Any easy at home way to sharpen shears for hoof trimming? With regular house scizzors I know you can cut tin cans to sharpen, but not sure if that would work with these?

Are you talking actual shears, as in scissors or tinsnips? Or those cutters that
look like pruning tools? You wouldn't sharpen any of these 3 the same way.
And I NEVER heard of cutting tin cans as a method of sharpening anything. Interesting!
Can't say as I would try that on my house scissor from the $1 store or my expensive
kitchen scissors. Any can cutting would be a job for the tinsnips.

Thanks to you both...these are actual hoof trimming shears. And yes to cutting tin cans ( well...guess they are aluminum cans...not tin...empty beer and coke cans...it really does sharpen regular scizzors..my cheapo household ones and my better kitchen shears )
I'll think about using a dremel to try sharpen the hoof trimming shears...hope I get it right and don't ruin them in my attempt...LOL! I originally bought a dremel in hopes to do my dog's nails with them, but that didn't work for me at all...would have spent 2 hours on each toe nail the rate I was going.
