I have a Dremel for pets which is a little too forceful for me on a dog Tibbe's size so I got the Pedipaws (without the plastic housing over the head because Tibbe's toes are so small) which is easier for me to control than the pet Dremel. It takes about 2 minutes to do all ten nails, much of that time just isolating each toenail and repositioning him, etc. If the file comes off the nail, you file the little pad below the toenail so I am very cautious to be sure I put my thumb in place over each pad so I can't accidentally hurt a pad. It doesn't cause it to bleed or split or anything but you can see a roughened spot. Anyway, it is just the ticket for Tibbe and me and so much less scary than the nail clipper!
