| New Pedicure tool Has anyone tried that new pedicure tool that is Seen on TV? It's like a little grinder for the dog's nails? I am thinking about buying one. |

YT 2000 Club Member | So am I . I have them bookmarked because I am iffy on it still. I did hear that if your pet has long hair on their legs, then a panty hose should go over their feet holding their hair out of the way with their nails pushed trough so the tool can cut it. It was a tip from a groomer I talked to at a Dog Expo that I went to a few weeks ago. I hope that someone has it and can offer you more information.

| How great is that??, the panty hose idea!! I too saw the nail grinder on TV. I really want to try it! I also spoke to a groomer the other day about it. she didn't give me any good tips though. She did say that if the dog has long hair there will be a problem, so now...problem solved. Thank You for the tip!!! I am going to order one. Patti |

| I've been procrastinating about ordering it too. My groomer always files my dogs nails with an electric dremmel (sp?). I never gave a thought to the long hair getting in the way. Pantyhose sound like a good idea - especially with ME using the file. LOL. I get nervous trimming the ears too but I do it. Let me know if anyone has had success with the TV tool. |

| They were showing it this morning on Fox News. It looks good and I am debating about getting it. My Sam hates his nails done I have to take him to the groomers so I am not sure if he would like this any better...

| I saw it. It really looks like the grinder the sell in cvs for people. I would be afraid to use it on my dogs. |

| Ugh so I just got mine this week... I Havent even been able to get it close to Chewys nails... The chick freaks out from the sound. so many others on here have had luck with it though. I dont know how to get her to trust it. Ive tried turning it on and just holding it against her, tried just turning it on and holding it in my hand... dont know what else to do........ Ive heard really good things about it but i would suggest if you have a really sensitive kid who scares easy that you think twice. |

| Love It! I just got mine, and its GREAT! I love it so far.. Cookie doesn't mind it at all, she just looks at it like "hmm whats this.." haha. It's fairly quiet,(but does make a small humming noise) and easy to use. There's a guard for the hair, Cookie has long hair on her feet and it hasn't gotten in the way. If anyone is questioning purchasing one, I would say go for it!

I Love My Babies Donating Member | I just got mine and have used it on all 3 of mine. I started with great treats and rubbing the tool over their legs and feet, a treat.. then turning it on, a treat... Holding it against a leg while running, treat.. and the foot, treat... then touching a nail.. treat. TJ and Sandy did great with it.. Dexter was another story.. he panics when you get the nail clippers.. he stands great to be trimmed but you got something out to trim his nail and he goes crazy. Evidently he was badly frightened when he was little and has freaked ever since. But, with treats and patience.. I actually got all of his nails trimmed a little with this thing. He doesn't like it... but he will accept it. I am going to do it again tomorrow.. wish me luck.

| I ordered mine over the weekend because my dremel - type grinder finally gave out.
