Pedi Paws Pet Nail Trimmer Review

I bought Pedipaw as I am always filing my animals nails after I cut them. I have two cats and a lab. I am frequently on the floor.. and they are struggling against me. When I first saw the commercial for Pedi-Paws I immediately wondered where the sound of the mechanism was, as it only showed a very calm (probably sedated :) ) animal having their nails filed down. I went out and spent the $20 on the pedi-paw kit. It came with one page of instructions and referred you to their website to watch a video on how to get your animal used to the sound. It seemed fairly easy. I finally got Vito my lab used to the sound.. and the instructions were to not file a nail for more then 3-5 seconds or it would hurt the animal. This product does not work if you need your dog's nails shorter. I have to still cut my dogs nails and then I can file them down after with Pedi-Paws. The file does make his nails soft, but it is not worth the struggle with him to file them down with pedi paws as opposed to the nail file i was using previously. When I tried to use it on my cats nails, I was concerned it was going to break the nail. I don't feel this is made for cats. I cut my animals nails every two to three weeks, and their nails are fairly long when I do cut them. The pedi paws pulls at my cats nails and it is not easy to use on cats.

I don't suggest this product, as the time and training you put in does not benefit in the long run. It can not be used on long nails as the filing time is only 3-5 seconds before the nail burns. It also doesn't shorten the nail enough for the animal to have a good length without clicking on the floor.
