Pedie Paws Nail Trimmer
|
|
We have one and yes it does work!! Heart is not the happiest when we use it, but she does sit there and it is quick~~~~ Pearl will sit through anything...and as soon as Cos sees it he runs and hides....   |
| I have one also, and I think it works great. Jenny didn't mind it at all. |
| It is a plastic cheepie nail trimmer, like a Dremmel drill. Comes with three extra round file paper pads. Didn't work for our larger dogs, OES, Rottie and Shepherd, but did for the smalled dogs with thinner nails. |
| We tried it on our 8-week old mutt, Jersey, no dice, he would have nothing to do with it! |
| Mine didn't work well. Takes way too long and it started falling apart after one try. I have better luck with a big emery board. |
| We got one the other day and it is great in my opinion! It took a few treats and some patience to get Quercus used to it and willing to sit still. He eventually sat pretty and let me file the nails down. His nails become very sharp and this is great to shape them up nice. I think it's a great purchase for $20! |
| my parents have one and like it, and there are different sizes for it (they have the larger version). |
| Two of my guys have jumbo nails, it's slow and I'm not real excited. You can't do one of those jumbos at one sitting. The nail gets too hot and it's hard on device. The smaller nailed dogs are fine. It's better for dogs under 65 lbs or so. Ideal for 30 and unders.
I can see where a Dremmel would be better, electric, not battery, but then you would need the Pedi Paw attachment to help keep the hair out of the shaft. Even Glacier who spooks at everything accepted the Pedi Paw noise after the initial introduction. That doesn't mean she was entirely cool with the nail process, just better.......which is relative. |
| I just got one actually for Valentines Day, but I have not tried it yet. Do you start from the bottom of the nail and sort of work up? |
| I got one just because it was $20 and it seems to work fine. It's not the fastest, but it works...IMOP. I never do too much at one sitting for fear of it getting the nail to hot. I have used it a couple of times and the nails are getting shorter. |

| I recently bought a Dremel for our dogs. Stanley, cattle dog, and Odie, baby OES.
I read up on all these gadgets before deciding on the Dremel, and I'm glad I did! I bought an electric one, and you should be aware they are sold with different RPMs. Make sure to get one that doesn't go too fast, because they heat up and cause discomfort to your dog. With Stanley I did the desensitization technique ( read how on other boards). I introduced the Dremel to him slowly over about a week's time. First with it off, then on, then touched him on his back with it, then touched his paws, then was able to start filing his nails. All told, about a week's worth of training. Now mind you, Stanley is the biggest scaredy dog in the world. EVERYTHING scares him ------ except the Dremel. One week's training, done in about 5 minutes at a time, two times a day, and my dog's nails are great now. (I've had way too many bad experiences with the nail clippers!) Our OES is still learning, but I can get away with doing 1 or 2 nails at a time. If you haven't heard of me whining yet on the boards, our Odey is a puppy, and mostly blind and deaf. So, I think he'll take a little longer to train. The Dremel probably seems like the Grim Reaper coming to get him. Anyway, he is coming to accept it a little at a time. Also, something to remember if you're considering the Pedipaws vs. the Dremel. I discovered that the Dremel sells an attachment guard to do the nails. I haven't used it, but it is supposed to be the same as the pet product guard. |
