I like the petipaws cuz it's very quiet. I also take out the top portion (unscrew it) cuz it just gets in the way. It shouldn't be used to file down a long nail. It'll get too hot & it'll take forever. It's designed to smooth down nails & to keep nails smooth like a dremmel.
I would think if you kept filing it down, you would eventually hit the quick, but the dog would probably let you know if you're getting close!
Just a little tip for cutting those black yorkie nails: cut little by little until you see the black dot in the middle |
