New Nail Trimming Tool

Posted by Joy Butler Aug 11, 2008

Trimming my dogs' nails is something we both hate. They run and hide and it usually takes two to do the procedure. With all the wiggling and squirming they do, it's hard to clip the proper length. and I worry that I'll hurt them by cutting into the quick.

I received in email today an advertisment for a new nail trimming device called PediPaws. It's nothing like regular doggy nail clippers at all. It claims to have rotating emery bands that gently remove thin layers of nail. A protective cap somehow allows only the perfect amount of nail to be removed. The product is also claimed to be fast and avoid cracks and splinters leaving the nails smooth and rounded while catching the filings. The price seems right and would be a worthy investment if it works in the way it appears to. Of course this product is not available in stores and must be ordered online. However, I've found that decent imitations of these kinds of products eventually make it to the stores. I would like to actually see one in the flesh, er plastic, before buying. In the meantime, if you or anyone you know uses one of these PediPaws, I'd like to share the experience.
