They look long to me, too. I have a toenail thing and struggle with Tibbe's but using Gentle Paws I have finally gotten his short enough. When I first got the machine, I did it a bit each day just to get Tibbe used to it and get a bit of nail off each day without doing too much at a time. Now, I do them just a bit every 3-4 days so I don't have to grind too long but do enough so that I can only hear them on the floor if he is jumping around alot. They should be short enough that normal walking across the floor produces no toenail sound, from what I've been told. Good luck to you getting them shorter as I struggle with the same thing and just cannot use clippers anymore. Be careful though, if you do go to a grinder/sander type device as even those can get into the quick. Good luck!
