   I was leery about ordering this because of the multiple bad reviews, but I was at my wit’s end and so I decided to give this a go. My little chiweenie is a rescued dog and is extremely anxious – he snaps and shakes when anything comes near him, let alone a vibrating tool like this. However, he was apparently introduced poorly to regular clippers, because he would get very agitated if I tried to use the clippers on him. I could MAYBE get one nail clipped without getting snapped at, but of the few times I was successful, I over-clipped twice due to his struggling and wound up hurting the little blighter – erg – which made him even MORE terrified of the clipper.

   So, I decided to try this. This is what I did.

   (1) For a few WEEKS – I brought out the grinder every night, turned it on and placing it NEAR us – but not too near – and I talked calmly to my pup and fed him treats, telling him in an upbeat voice that everything was ok and that he was a very good dog.

   (2) After he started ignoring it a bit and started focusing on his treats, I held him and grinded a bit on ONE nail, still talking to him the entire time, and then I immediately turned off the grinder and gave him treats and acted as if he had just done a spectacular trick. NOTE: If your dog is a rescue dog and and / or an anxious dog like mine, make sure you take him outside for his business first, heh heh. The little man managed to get me a little bit wet on our first encounter with actually using the grinder. He is more self-contained now as he is getting less and less anxious the more we do it, but I still make sure he has gone out before I use the tool.

   (3) After the first initial success, every few days I would take out the grinder and follow this procedure, doing one nail, then after awhile two, etc, until I could get through one paw, then two, etc.

   (4) At this point, I can get through all 4 paws pretty quickly, and he only starts getting nervous for the back paws – this is where he got over-clipped when I used clippers, so I guess he is still skittish about that. My bad. =(

   The little man doesn’t LOVE the grinder yet, and I am not sure he will ever get to that point, but he allows me to get it done with very little trouble and I am very, very pleased with this product. The guard makes sure I don’t over-grind, and I always count a few seconds and then I go on to the next nail. If I have to grind more, I come back to it after I have done a few other nails so it has time to cool down, or I just get to it the next day. Yeah, I grind more than I would have to clip, but who cares?? It takes me almost no time, the little man gets his happy treat when we are done, and he is only a little nervous during the entire process when he used to be absolutely terrified at the sight of the clippers.

   I could not be happier and I would absolutely recommend this with two caveats:

   (1) Expect to be patient. I read some of the really negative reviews and it looked like some of the people were trying to acclimate their dog in a week. It took WEEKS to acclimate my dog, and then I added one nail at a time. It only takes a few minutes every night to get him acclimated eventually, but when your dog finally gets to the point where you can do all 4 paws, you are set for life. Small tradeoff IMHO.

   (2) It is quite possible this WON’T work on larger dogs’ nails. It works fine on my little chiweenie, but I have no recommendation for anything larger since I have no experience with a larger animal, so caveat emptor if you have a bigger pooch.

   I bought this for my dog. The product works well. She was always scratching me. She handles it well and mom has no more bobos!

   The Pedi Paws is a cute little gadget but my dog is afraid of it, so I haven’t been able to use it to file her nails.

   I was given one of these from someone who no longer wanted it. I quickly found out why! The heat from the grinder is, in a word, painful. I tried it out on myself after my dog warned me he was hurting from it, it makes enough heat to make a burning pain quickly go through the nail. I felt sick to my stomach thinking of all the animals this thing must have frightened and hurt before it was handed to me. Just throw these things out, don’t ever accept one as a gift and let the potential giver know why.

   My dog did not like this product. She already does not love her paws being messed with and it took so much longer for this to file it down than to just do a quick snip with the clippers. Because the file is rotating it also seemed to grab her nail and jerk it to the edge where it would catch. This further irrated her. I gave the product to my sister to use with her dog who reported similar complaints. Now my dad is asking about it. Maybe he’ll have more luck with his dog.
