Love Love Love Pedi Paws. I have three Large dogs 2 Labradors and a Rot Boxer mix. My male has never had any issues with us doing his nails but the girls have been a nightmare. They would fight and struggle and it would take up to three people to get their nails cut. I bought the pedi paws and they were of course up for the normal fight. But we did one nail one day then brought it out again and did another then up to three or more.
This is so much easier and less painful for myself or the dogs. Cutting them I always worried about cutting the nails to short and causing them to bleed, with this I do not have to worry. Just follow the directions spend only 3 to 5 seconds per nail as it can get hot on the nail like it would a human. Do it every other week and your dog will have nice blunt short nails.
I have been wondering about the pedi paws. And of course now there are more brands that do the same thing, but I am concerned about the noise. Or rather, how quiet they are. I have a beautiful but skittish small standard poodle and would love cut down on some of the grooming bills. The right nail remover would help
