What Roxy thinks of her Pedi Paws - YorkieTalk.com Forums

delisa2850 · 09-21-2008, 04:34 PM

Ok. I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get a Pedi Paws and was quite excited to have made it just in time to pick up the last one! I followed all of the directions, and let Roxy get used to being around it, both off and on, and had it touch her while it was on so she could get use to the vibrating feeling, and gave her lots of treats......all was good until I actually used it on her nails. My usually - happy - go - lucky baby is VERY not happy with her mom. This is the aftermath of our first go around with her new Pedi Paws!!

Haha! Awww, poor little Roxy

I am sorry to hear that you didn't like your new little tool sweet girl, but, my babies probably won't like it either

I was JUST in BB&B yesterday and had a Pedi Paws in my basket, and then at the last minute, I put it back

I wanted to come here and read some reviews on it FIRST (because I KNEW their would be reviews on it

) - and now after seeing this, I am kind of scared

Stedman is PETRIFIED of having his nails trimmed in any way shape or form...so I'm sure that things aren't going to be any different with the Pedi Paws

I am still holding out SOME hope though...and do plan to pick one up, just for kicks!

Tell little Stedman to hang tough - the treats are great!! He can get A LOT of bribery milage out of this one!! She really didn't mind the vibrating even - just that darned last step! Tonight my son is going to hold her and bribe her for me while I am the bad guy and work on the nails a little more. Tell Stedman and Tatum it didn't hurt! Just REALLY ticked her off!

Ah...it looks like she was crying in the lst pic.

I hope it goes better for you & her tonight.

Is it very loud?

tjdmom · 09-21-2008, 05:45 PM

I'm nervous because Zoe's nails are black. Wonder if this is better than clipping them?

I don't know - I never once worked up the courage to try the clippers. She has had her nails done at the vets or at a couple of groomers where we went just for the nails. I am not afraid of the Pedi Paws though - I feel like I have more control over it. Roxy's nails are totally black too - it just doesn't feel as risky as the clippers. I hope I don't prove myself wrong on that!

No - I don't think it is loud at all. The noise doesn't seem to bother Roxy at all. She will come over and put her nose on it when it is on and laying on the ground or in my hand. We went really slow - at the pace of her curiousity and she was great - up until that last step!!

Stella's mom · 09-21-2008, 06:06 PM

She is adorable, but looks a LITTLE sad in the last picture. Thanks for giving us a review, I'm planning on getting one of these or the Peticure one. Hopefully if I round Stella's nails down she won't be able to scratch as bad.

I won't go as far as to say that Roxy enjoyed this last session, but it was much better. Using my son as a partner didn't work great, but this time Roxy let me hold her in my lap with her back against my chest. The rear paws were easier than the front ones - I think it was because she could see without having to get her nose right in the middle of it!

I guess this will be just like when we acclimated her to being brushed and combed - the first sessions weren't about getting her looking good - just getting her used to it. Not quite what I was hoping for, but I think in the long run we are going to be happy with the Pedi Paws!!
