I have 5 dogs...2 beagles, 2 yorkies and a rat terrier. I do all but Harley, the rat terrier. I decided after the most recent time of trying, that the stress he and i were both under during the fight to clip the nails, wasn't worth the money saved for me. I gave in and let the vet do it when i had him in for shots. Maybe next time i will try with my husband holding him. (They did it with two people..i watched.) I don't mind a little fight but he put up a big one with me. I bought the pedipaws too, but haven't tried it yet..I hope it makes it an easier job!
