| Pedi-paws??? Anyone used these "as seen on TV" nail clipper filer gizmo?? Just wondered how good it works. I hate I mean hate clipping Yorkie nails with them being all black. I am such a chicken that I will get too short and hurt them. I barely take off the tips, but when the groomer does it, she gets them all nice and short and filed great.

| My brother in law bought one and I am hoping to borrow it and try it on Biggie. My brother in law did try it on his Shepard Mix and the poor dog is terrified of it. We'll see how Biggie does. |

| My brother's ex-girlfriend works at a local kennel/groomer, which happens to be where I take Lilah and Vader, and she told me that most of the groomers there are now using the pedi-paw thing instead of clippers. |

| I have a pedipaws and I love it. ...plus when I take them to be groomed their groomer uses a similar product , so they are not bothered by it .They still don't like to sit still for long so I usually try and do it after a bath .They are use to clippers and dryers and such , so it made it easier. I love it because we all know how annoying that*starting to get a bit long* nail sound can be when they are running or pacing on the hardwood floor !

| I love it!! you have to hold the dog down long enough to do a nail or 2 for them to see it doesnt hurt and then by the point they i will let you do all of them. I also did it for the first time on my sisters yorkie and i gave a treat every couple of nails till he got used to it!

| Haven't really used mine yet. My friend has a dachshund named Woody & he was terrified of it so they only used it once and she gave it to me. My yorkies are only 11 weeks old and when I did their first nail trim the nails were still puppy nails and were too small & fine so it didn't really work. I am going to try it again next time. They really hate having their feet or heads messed with, so I'm sure it will be a challenge! |
