Donating YT Addict | I got one at Bed Bath & Beyond last Sat. and used it on Tyke. He didn't seem to mind and we had no sparks. My daughter held him and fed him Yogurt drops while i filed and it worked great. Beats dealing with those clipper things...lol

| I bought one this past week, took it out the box and then put it back in. My Brooklyn took one look at it and ran for the hills. The thing was just a tad bit too big and awkward for me.

| I bought the Pedicure and just love it. The girls first reaction was to bolt, but when they found out it wasn't going to hurt them, they were just fine.

| Finally got mine. I did their nails last week and again this week. I agree it is a little difficult-especially if you are left handed!

| I really like mine. I have the PediPaws. I see no way there could be sparks? There's no metal? I'm not saying it's impossible, but really...sparks? Daisy was scared of it the first time I tried to use it on her, but I just kept taking out of the box, letting her sniff it, I laid it on her bed and she laid by it. I turned it on and let her nose it a bit *sniff* Then finally I was able to do all of her nails in about 5 mins.! They are so much smoother than when I clip them or the groomer. I love it! Abby may be a different story, but I'm going to try her next. I'll wait until after she's healed from her spay. Keep trying, but ease your babies into it. Do you all think the peticure and the pedipaws is really very different?

| I bought the PediPaws at Target and used it today. I have NEVER clipped or trimmed any of my dogs' nails...just never could bring myself to do it! But I thought I'd give this a try since it now costs $12 to get them done at the groomer, and that's just clipped - not filed. It was easy, although I didn't take much off of each nail, I'm sure - I just did it very lightly and only for 2 seconds or so on each one since it was our first time. But Olivia did great so I am sure I will get better with time. It was easy enough to use, a bit awkward to get the right positions, but I'm hoping that will improve too. No sparks, and the noise didn't seem to bother Olivia once she got used to it. So far so good!

Yorkie Yakker | Petipaws I love it. Nails have always been a drama at my house. When I bath my babies I do the ears,but, eyes, and nails all at the same time. After a bath the nails are not as brittle so it goes a little faster. Even the Queen don't mind it with the petipaws She is usually a little drama queen about everything. |
