My mom bought this for me as I have 4 cats and 2 dogs (a Boston ter. and a Husky) - NONE of them liked it. And I found it was much easier, less tramatic and more cost efficient to use the nail clipper on the dogs and just put smart claws (paws) on the cats.

I compared PediPaws with PetiCure and sprung for the PetiCure for an extra $10 ($30). PetiCure is much quieter and I've used it on my six small dogs several times since I bought it and it's still going strong without having to recharge. It also has different sized guides so you choose the size of your dog's nail so it won't get stuck. Yes, it's a glorified dremel, but it's a lot better than the cheap copy that is PediPaws and my dogs aren't afraid of it. Granted, I got them used to it by just holding it while it was running, while petting them and giving them treats. It's all a matter of conditioning them with positive reinforcement. It does a good job and leaves the nails smooth and snag-free.

I hate it. My dogs hate it. They run when they see me comign with it and they try to nip at me when I trim their nails with it. Deffinatly NOT worth buying.

I wasted my money on this item for sure. My dog which is a Pit/boxer said, no way and she she went nuts pulling away and boxing me. She usually listens pretty good, but when I turn this thing on she goes wild.

I agree with most of the user comments in that PediPaws is a waste of money. I have two dogs - one a 4-year-old pit bull/bulldog, & the other a 1 1/2-year-old beagle. Neither of my dogs is skiddish but, like most dogs, they don't like having their nails clipped. Daisy (the Beagle) will not let you get within five feet of her with this tool, whether it is on or off! Buddy (the pit bull/bulldog) will let you use it on his nails, but is very outwardly expressive of the fact that he doesn't enjoy it - he mopes & scowls. :) My father uses his dremmel tool on his dog (an approximately 12-year-old yourshire terrier) and the dog puts up with it, but that's about it. Overall, I would suggest you not waste your hard-earned money on this joke of a product.

i hate this product. it is quieter but still scares the dog away and is ok if you feel like sitting around for an hour or more to file your dogs nails. much easier to just use clippers. i definitely don't recommend this product.

In a nutshell, this product is a joke! Save your money. The noise it makes scares the animals too much to see if it really works. Take out the C batteries it requires and throw this junk out.

I have 2 dogs and both can't stand this thing..the vibration it makes is very uncomfortable for them..same as using a sander on them....

this product was awful. it takes way to long, my dogs are scared of it, and when you are operating it there is an awful smell, if i could i would give it no stars

My 2 chihuahua's and 1 lhasa apso all hated it. I let them smell it while it wasnt running and turned it on while they were in my lap just to get them used to the sound but it was still a No-Go! Also, if you have it upside down-which is hard to tell which way is which- it will pull their nail in instead of filing it.

I was given this as a gift. My mother has one for her dog, and it's awesome for him. I have two cats. My senior could care less, because he knows me well enough to know I would never hurt him. My junior is so freaked out by it that if I even pull it out of the drawer, he takes off running. And yes, it basically is a dremel.

I have two dogs and this product didn't really impress me I still have to use nail clippers I basicly use it to soften the edges and it takes forever and my dogs hate it!

Scared the life out of my dogs. takes a long time just to do 1 paw. Not worth the money or scaring my babies. back to their groomer they go for their nail clippings. Worth the 5$ each.

too much noise, the animals get scared!

It took a long time to file down one nail. Also you had to hold the dogs nail in a certain angle because the file would stop. It also would take a long time to charge. After a couple of uses the metal part that you replace the file on just sunk in and every time I would turn the machine on and start it would sink back down.
