Has anyone used this product? My dog has to have his nails trimmed monthly and his duclaws tend to curl. I'm not sure if it will work with the curling. Just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I heard both good and bad feedback. My dog is very jumpy so I don't think he would sit still with it being noisy. Hmmm...maybe I'll have to do it the old fashion way. ugh

I've trimmed cat's nails since they were 5 weeks old and have no problems in doing so. And even if mine are great about nail clipping, they would not sit still enough to tolerate the PediPaws. It MIGHT work for dogs, but I'd never consider trying it on a cat.

My dad got one, just to see if all the hype was true. I'm in charge of nail trimming around here, and I'm not a big fan.

My 2 Labs don't like it. They're not skittish dogs, and are fine with normal nail clippers. They both pulled away, and didn't seem to like the feeling of the grinder on their nails.

For the cats, it just.. sucks to be honest. Maybe I need the smaller version to try, but it just seems to take forever to do one nail when I could've had the entire paw done! So yeah, I'll be sticking with my normal nail clippers!

They eat batteries like mad! They are pretty much made for dogs that A.) Are willing to sit still for long periods of time and B.) Have soft nails.

My boss bought one to try out. Not only did it get stuck on a wiggly dog's paw [the guard did!] but it barely takes off anything. If the dog is bad for it's feet it's going to be bad whether it's trimmers or not.

You'd be better off taking the tips off your dog's nails once a week. That will help them grow back as well as make sure you don't cut the nail too short.

Oh and if you want the nails to file down sooner, use the Pedipaws after your pets get a bath. Because the water softens up their nails, just like it does with ours! :) hope it helps!

I have had this for about 4yrs now and my dogs and my cat don't mind it at all.It really helps if you file their nails without the yellow cap on. Also, make sure you have some good batteries because when the batteries run low, the speed on the filer does, too.

We bought one of these, tried it once with yellow cover on,it almost pulled her paw a little and close to pad even though my wife was holding leg and I was carefully going to trim, machine too fast/kinda noisy...do not recommend this. We took it back
