| what the commerical does NOT tell you is that this is basically just a dremmel. It can still be very dangerous with our long haired pups= if a piece of their hair touches the dremmel- it will get caught and rip it out. I think the commercials do a horrible job selling this product because it is not that easy. I used to use a dremmel on Layla but the stress of trying to not get her hair caught was too much on us both. |

| If you have trouble keeping their hair back, just use a pair of pantyhose and poke their nails through the mesh before you trim. I have done even when using the clippers so I could have a better view.

| Ive tried the pantyhose trick it works very well! Ive used the pedi paw too its best used frequently just for a little trim. Its not the easiest tool to use. Kelly |

| lol this is funny. I actually have 2 of them and my puppies just want to play with them. So I guess I will go to the vet when they are due for a trim. The idea of the panty hose is a great one.. gonna try that one. But not the pedi paws thing might donater them somewhere. |

Yorkie Yakker | I personally don't have a problem with it. At first, I must say, it wasn't easy and I hated it, but now I'm glad I have it. It just takes practice and a little patience. My puppy practically falls asleep, now, while I do his nails. My only problem is that I don't know how far to trim without hurting him.

| I had always wanted to buy it, because their nails seem to grow soo fast. So i asked the cashier at petsmart and she said that a lot of people bought them and then a lot brought them back. So i passed, ill just leave that to the groomer!
