Goodness really? I just can't let her go through that again, I'd rather her nails be long, but not dangerously so.
(also the last time she had her nails trimmed, she was not "overdue" for a grooming (like her nails weren't that long at all), we had her on a pretty good schedule and then after that grooming experience, I was a little traumatized seeing her come home a little traumatized and have been putting it off)


I got that file thing that spins (you know the one, it's all over tv) and tried it on her and she was NOT having it....and it actually SPLIT the nails of one of my cats so bad it bled, I felt AWFUL!! BAD PRODUCT.

I wish I could pop her a pain pill before she has to have her nails done. My poor baby!!!!!! It's like watching a child go through pain...does anyone know how severe the pain is when it hits the quick? How would that equate to pain for us?

UGH, just awful.
