much better than reviews indicate

On: 2008-12-17

i have had one of these for about 2 years and use it for my beagle/schnauzer mix dogs (1 boy 1 girl) and while they dont like it they tolerate it ok. it leaves the nails so much smoother than clipping alone. i mostly use it after i clip their nails so they are smooth and dont scratch my floors or legs etc when they tend to jump on me and run on my floors. i just got a teacup poodle and plan to try it on her too. the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars it the cord is a pain in this day of everything being cordless. but it it do-able. occasionally the bands do slip, but from what i read they can do that on all of these type nail products. all in all i would buy this again, but wish it was cordless. oh, and it is not too loud. it gets louder on higher speeds, and you have to be careful with this type of thing not to let it get to hot on their nails.

The Pedipaws product does NOT work

We purchased this product on line, fine print read "NO RETURN",my loss, My husband put the batteries in, turned it on and ATTEMPTED to do the first dog, we have 4, and as soon as he put the nail in the slot to start trimming, the motor slowwwwwwed down and stalled. It would not even turn much less file the nail. I would NOT recomend this product to anyone. It is junk!

Torment your animals

This product was a complete waste of money. My animals are TERRIFIED of the dremel and refused to let me use it to trim their nails. Just the sound alone sent them running under the nearest table and when they felt the vibrations from the thing, it was all over. Im back to cutting my dogs nails the old-fashioned way. With a nail clipper and some anti-coagulent handy. Very disappointing.

The tool itself worked fine, although it did get quite hot after awhile. I guess you need to train your animals when they are small to get acclimated to the sound and feel of the dremel. Totally do not recommend for adult dogs that are used to nail clippers.

Handy but poor quality

I bought this for the same reason the other reviewer did: I have a large Sharpei/St. Bernard mix with black nails. I used this successfully maybe 3 times, then the plastic around where the cord plugs into the power adapter broke. I looked all over the web and at local electronics stores for a replacement, but the male/female ends are reversed on this, so I could not find one. The manufacturer did not offer a replacement adapter either that I could find.
Seriously disappointed. I bought a Dremel and use the tips with it at around 15-18,000 RPM.

Better than the clippers

On: 2007-02-20

I bought this to trim the nails on my large dog who would not be still for the clippers. He was much easier to manage with these grinders. The big advantage is that I can grind off as much of his nail as possible without causing bleeding, which was difficult with a jumpy dog who has black nails. I would have given a higher rating except that this is a bit noisy in my opinion (I am not a groomer nor do I have much experience with these tools, however) and often the bit will gradually slide off.
