Love this! My pug does not like being...pampered and this is the easiest way I've found to trim his nails. He doesn't mind this at all. I'll never use a nail clipper again.

So after seeing the commercials for the Pedi Paws, I had decided to make an impulse purchase. I should have dug deeper into other consumer's reviews. The Pedi Paws was not at all what was shown on the commercials. The Pedi Paws was not effective at trimming my 50 pound German Short Haired Pointer. For one, my dog was extremely nervous and anxious once I turned the product on. I hadn't even touch my dog yet. I tried trimming her nails, but the Pedi Paws rubbed against the pad of her foot and nicked her. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen. Needless to say, the Pedi Paws had been shut in a drawer for a while. I now just use regular dog clippers. I can trust that with the regular dog clippers, I don't nick my poor dog. The Pedi Paws is not for my dog.

I was getting tired of trying to wrestle two large dogs to the ground to try to clip their nails with dog clippers and taking them to the groomer so that they can cut their nails for me was frankly too expensive so I purchased a Pedi Paws to try to combat the nails with it. I was so let down when I used it the first time. It didn't do anything. It just simply didn't help the nails at all. The filing or sanding device didn't do anything, I tried to get it to make some sort of progress at all. The device is kind of bulky making it hard to hold. Its also cheaply made. The little cap that is on the top part broke very easily, the button sticks and is hard to switch from on to off and back again. I have never had any success with this doing what it is advertised to do. It has never once been helpful or successful in filing the dogs nails. I would not recommend this product as it did nothing that I bought it to do.

I had purchased the Pedi Paws nail grinder to help keep my boss' dog's nails down to a comfortable level. The set comes with the battery-operated unit and several of the sandpaper wheels that actually do the grinding. The unit has a cap with a hole in the side where you place the dog's nail and the sandpaper wheel grinds the nail down. You do have to be careful not to grind too far down as you can injure the nail's quick. It worked very well on Riley (although he wasn't thrilled with the noise - it is pretty noisy); however the real bonus was how well it worked on my own toenails! I unfortunately suffer from a fungal infection of the toenails which causes them to thicken and discolor (unpleasant subject, I know.) I used the Pedi Paws to grind down the thickened nails by running it gently over the entire nail over and over (I removed the cap, of course, so that the sandpaper wheel was fully exposed). And it worked beautifully - afterwards the toenails were of normal thickness and most of the discoloration was gone. I use the Pedi Paws about once a month on my toenails and it really does keep them looking and feeling better (the thickening of the nails can be uncomfortable when wearing shoes). It's much quicker and easier than using a plain emery board.

I already have a regular nail clipper for my large dog but have been way too afraid to use it -- cutting their nails is scary! So as everyone else, this looked like the perfect product for me to trim them down a bit if I couldn't afford a vet visit. First off, this was a product my dog would refuse to get used to. Usually it takes a week for him to get used to new products that I use on him and he'll be fine but he was not okay about this product. It's a bit loud (especially in use) so I could see why he was so afraid of it. When I finally got him to calm down while the product was on, he wouldn't really stay in one position, and to get one nail done takes quite awhile. His nails were a bit long so it took 15-20 minutes for one to be done. He wouldn't stop fidgeting the whole time which led me to believe I might be hurting him so I stopped after one nail (not like a dog has the patience to sit still for an hour per paw anyway!). Do yourself a favor and spend the money that you would to buy this useless product and take it to a professional who will cut your dog's nails easily, quickly, and hassle free.

If you are looking for a way to easily and quickly file your pet's nails at home, this is NOT the product you want. I am a professional pet groomer and in my experience, plus the testimonials of many of my clients, the pedi paws nail grinder is not worth the money. For one, it claims to be quiet so as not to scare your pet, but in my opinion it is no quieter than any other nail grinder and is obviously louder than a simple nail clipper. Second, the motor is not all that powerful and it takes longer than other nail grinders to get the job done. I guess one positive to this is that the pedi paws doesn't go fast enough to get really hot like some other grinders, which can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing and grind too far and reach the quick (the nerve and blood supply to the nail.) I suppose if you just wanted to round the edges after cutting your let's nails then pedi paws might be ok, but honestly there are cheaper grinders out there if that's your goal.

I loved the idea of this for my pet. To be able to trim my dog's nails without it upsetting him or him fighting because I always worry about clipping too close and causing my animal to bleed. He may be an animal, but he is very much a family member and I no more wanted to scare him with clipping his nails then I would my children. However, the sound of this product scared my dog to where he would go run and hide and refuse to come near it. I ended up giving it away because we simply could not use it in my house. My dog hated it with a passion and it scared him as well. That is saying a lot when my dog is brave with the vacuum and other noises, even fireworks but something about this mechanical sound of this item just made him go nutty. I wish that they could make this product WITHOUT it sounding electronic because then maybe my dog would give me a chance to use it but until they manage to lower the sound or change the way it sounds, this product is absolutely 100% useless to me and my family. What a disappointment!!!!!

This dog grooming tool accomplishes its purpose; it can successfully file your pets nails in between trips to a professional groomer. It's also relatively inexpensive and battery operated, so it doesn't require extension cords or electrical outlets. That said, the grinding noise that it makes lowered its value for me. It sounds like the dentist preparing to fill a cavity or someone running his nails down a chalkboard very slowly. It was difficult for me to listen to, and my normally bold 50-lb boxer mix is scared to death of it. We have tried three or four times to use this on him, and both my husband and I have had to restrain him because he's so scared. We haven't gotten more than two or three nails done each of those times, and it's not an operator error; he freaks out as soon as we turn it on, and the vet says he has no issue getting his nails clipped. It's worth the money if you have an even-tempered dog. If not, you should probably pass.

I have two dogs and hardwood floors so their nails have really been an issue. I bought the Pedi Paws nail trimmer because I had saw it on tv and thought it was a great idea. However, it is a lot harder to use then it looks because even though I love it my dogs don't. It is extremely hard for me to get them to hold still. I guess they don't like the feel or the sound of the wheel grinding against their nails.

When I rescued my dog from death row t the pound he was pretty much terrified of everything. Including nail clippers. I tried every trick there was, including giving him those "calming" pills they sell at the pet supply place and nothing worked. On a whim I picked up a pedi paws at target thinking if this didn't work it would be vet visits for trims for life, but this worked wonderfully! By the 3rd use he went from attacking and biting me hard enough to break skin to laying on his back and falling asleep! It eats up batteries pretty quick, but the stress it saves is worth it's weight in gold.
