This was a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY !!! If you press to hard the wheel stops sanding the nails. Our mini-Dachshunds nails took over 30 minutes just to sand down the front paws without pushing two hard and stopping the sander (we even put in newer batteries just in case). I just clipped the back nails like normal to finish it up, can you imagine having to take over an hour to trim a dogs nails...... I would never recommend it! The cat's nails worked better on them, but still a long process.

my dog is afraid of the noise & begins whimpering and pulling away as soon as it starts to file...FAIL!

I really feel I wasted my money on this product. I used it once. It scared my dogs so bad and they are used to having their nails done. It makes a loud noise and catches on the nails and pulls them. Just simple clippers and a heavy nail file works so much better.

Waste of money. Takes forever and Peanut hated it. For $5 I'd much rather pop into a groomer for a quick trim:)

Both of my dogs hate this thing. The one redeeming factor is that it works on my Pekingese; unfortunately, it does NOT work on my larger dog (a Lab). Also, it's so noisy that it terrifies both animals. It doesn't work quickly at all, none of that "5 minutes trimming" stuff. More like half-an-hour-and-a-headache-and-miserable-animals later, and one is trimmed and the other is cowering. Waste of time and money.

I was so hoping this would work, even tried it many times. my dog was so scared of the noise he would not get close to this. This is a big waste of money!!!

Go to your local home store (Home Depot, Lowes) and go to the tool section. You're looking for Dremel. You will find a Dremel multi pro tool. It is hand held and you can add diff. tips to it. When using it on your dog's toenails you want the sanding disc tip. We have 2 labs and we use this on their toenails all the time. This is the 3rd year we've been using NOTHING but the Dremel for their toenails. You do NOT want to alternate or us clippers and any sort of sanding system in conjunction. The nails cannot handle using both!! Please don't use clippers w/any sanding system. The Dremel has several speeds and you will use the lowest or next one up no higher. It will heat up so work quickly counting to 5 and moving on to another toenail. Google Dremel and dog toenails and there are a lot of videos that will come up. There is an excellent one done by the owner of 2 dovermans (sp?) She really knows what she's doing. The beauty of the Dremel is it's sturdy, runs off of electricity, sanding bands can be replaced, and it's fast and efficient!!

My dogs are afraid of this nail file. It really does not trim the nails using clippers is better. I feel it was a waste of my money as it did not work as advertised.

My dogs hated this..it scared them more than anything

actually to noisy. Dog wouldn't allow me near her with is.

My dog is so scared of this product that we can't even pull it out. If he sees it, he runs and hides under my child's bed.

My dog was really scared of this. When I was finally able to use it on my dog it did not work as that well. Waste of money.

MY DOG DIDN'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THE NAIL TRIMMER SO EVERY-TIME I PUT IT ON HE JUST KEEP RUNNING SO I JUST GAVE IT ANYWAY

It gets super hot you have to stop and take a break that's if the noise doesnt send them running first!

To be fair, this product may be effective if it wasn't so LOUD. Even with two grown adults, we still couldn't keep my mini schnauzer still long enough to do even one nail and I think he is now scarred for life from the experience.
