I had a bad experience with my dog losing a nail in a dog fight. It took over 5 hours to stop the bleeding. Had, I only known this at the time. Keep an unused bottle of Super Glue around for this emergency. When the nail starts to bleed and before the dog starts to lick it. Coat the bleeding nail with super glue. Hold the paw until it drys. To keep it from glueing the paw to something else. It Stops the bleeding in minutes and your dog will not lick it. Thereby stopping the risk of infection. By the time super glue wears off the nail will be healed. It does not take a lot of time for infection to set in. When the dog starts licking the wound and when it does you could lose the animal. Not to mention the Vet bills. That tip is more useful than this useless dremel knock-off.

It is loud. She freaks out and starts biting. I know the instructions say to slowly let your dog get used to it, but that just won’t work. She still attacks the vacuum cleaner and I use it all the time.

I never thought it would work. But? Hubby thought it was a good idea? Well? I was right. My dog doesn’t mind, with a little patients and treats he would let me trim his nails (he’s 8 yrs old), but, it takes so long that he got became bored and just wanted to leave?? LOL… I just use the better animal trimmer and be done with it!!

I bought a Dremel tool too to do all sorts of work with it and trim my dogs nails. It works great–plus dremel does make a animal nail trimmer which is built a lot better than this piece of junk. I talked to a returns person at wal-mart and this item ranks near the top of their returns. Get a dremel.

Not surprising reading all the bad comments on this so call wiz bang trimmer.

The person who invented this thing should have tried it on his fingernails first blind fold and then on his toenails blindfold. The noise of this device is enough to scare the living daylights out of dogs and cats and there is no gaurantee of not injurying the animal with that so call safe guard. This in my opinion should not be on the market and banned as a deadly weapon against the animal kingdom. Dogs and cats a trumatised enough in the human race without bring on some fangdangle that is crap.

Honestly, after trying this thing, we went to the pet store to see what else they had. We ended up buying regular pet nail trimmers. Completely soundless and painless. I don’t know why I was so afraid of them. My boyfriend feeds our dog treats while I trim her nails down.

We have done this with our dog for 6 years since she was a puppy. It really works great, and after she got used to it, she doesn’t really fuss at all….we too have the rechargeable dremel, dont bother with the pedipaws, it’s just a dremel with a single attachment. Dremel with the sandpaper bit works like a champ, just be sure to change out the bit every once in a while, when the sandpaper wears down it tends to generate heat more….and be careful of the quick, dont want bloody nails, but it really does work

we have a large dog and the small little toy pet manicure thing just did nothing to his nails. Total waste. Should have known: As Seen On TV = crap.

I use a small rechargeable dremmel. Works great! Why pay the $$ for this that only does 1 thing? The dremmel only takes off a little at a time and you can “smooth” the tip. Better investment.

My cat yowls because of the heat. When the spinner makes contact with the nail…it produces heat. Makes it uncomfortable for the little critters. Sorry I wasted my money.
