PediPaws Nail Trimmer

I got a PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmer a while back to try on my dogs Archie & Lydia. Because it was something new, I wanted them to get used to the sound before I ever touched it to their nails. So, the first few times I turned it on I didn’t touch them with it. Instead, they got a couple treats and plenty of praise. Once they were OK with the noise I moved on to trying it on their nails.

Since my dogs aren’t all that crazy about having their nails trimmed, I had high hopes for the PediPaws. They both did pretty good with it but unfortunately I wasn’t all that happy with the results. The thing is clunky and cheap feeling and the sandpaper wears out way too quickly. If I tried doing the nails on all for feet, I imagine I’d go through a few of the sand paper rolls. And, although I didn’t use it long enough to find out, I’ve read other reviews that say the batteries wear out way too quickly.

My dogs are both about 40 pounds and they both have pretty substantial nails. Neither of them want to sit still long enough for the PediPaws to grind their nails down to the right length. And I’m not willing to change the sandpaper out as often as is necessary. The PediPaws may work fine on much smaller dogs, but I certainly can’t recommend it for dogs like mine, that are 40 lbs or more.
