I saw this and wondered the same thing. I won't buy one until I've had testimonials from "real" people.

Please "Google" this before purchase...I did some research on it a few weeks ago and I came across many complaints about the company...I think the BBB had to get involved as they were charging customers cards and not providing the product etc. I also think there were some quality issues as well. I think I "Googled" Peticure Reviews or something along those lines...

I was interested in this too. But after checking all the reviews I decided not to get one. I did a google search and don't think I found anyone that was happy with the product. Most of it seemed to be that it was quite loud and scared the pets. I will not be getting one but you should research it and decide for yourself.

I've heard about some issues with it also.

We use a regular Dremel for the dogs nails (I have the Mini Mite cordless version which I got at Home Depot). You do have to desensitize the dog to the sound and vibrations of it, but then again you need to desensitize them to the nail clippers also so it's not that different. I like it because it lets you round the nail instead of leaving it sharp on the edges. There is also less risk of injuring them because you grind the nail gradually as opposed to cutting it off. You can also see what you are doing as opposed to the Peticure which has that cover so you can't see.

For one of my dogs I use the Dremel to do his nails, while for the other one I clip first and then Dremel to round the nail.

I can see where they've tried to make the dremel safer by covering moving parts but I wouldn't like the fact you can't see the nail as you're working on it.

Grinding is usually preferred over clipping, but one also has to be careful with the dremel. It's very easy to cause injury from heat generated by using it too long in one area.
Anyone that has had acrylic nails, and a manicurist that didn't know when to stop grinding, knows well the pain that can be caused!

All the grinders make a certain amount of noise but if you shop around you'll find brands that are quieter and vibrate less.

I agere with Olga and Annz - I have used a dremel for years for all my dogs nails. They do get used to the sound and as long as you are careful about the heat generated (friction) then I think they are a great solution. We;ve never had a problem with sharp edges, getting to close to the quick or any of the other problems associated with clipping.

As an aside - they also work great on people feet - dry heels and callouses are fixed in seconds. Plus it gives you an idea of how much heat can be generated in a very short time.

Try a dremel - they only time I would be concerned is with a very wiggly dog that has long hair around the toes - I wuold hate for the fur to get would around the spinning part of the dremel.

When I see something on TV I go to Walmart.They have a shelf that says"As seen on tv".Everything I brought from the shelf I had to bring it back.So to save postage just wait a few weeks it will be in walmarts or Targets.Sure wish that Peticure thing works it would save me money and my kitty would really love me.
