A great concept that falls short
I loved the idea of this product as my 80lb pooch (lab mix), big baby that she is.. tends to run and hide when I bring out the nail clipper.
I followed instructions on introducing the PediPaws very slowly at first, and this worked like a charm. I wouldnt suggest skipping this part because I think the noise is what scared her the most.
It does shape the nail, but unfortunately has only one speed, which wasnt really strong enough to effectively shorten the length of her nails/claws (?)... which doesnt mean it doesnt work perse, just that it takes too long when the nails are very thick. It might be ok for a small dog though.
I have also had some trouble with the logistics of getting the back paws done, as the tool needs to be held at a certain angle. Again, I dont think this would be as much of a problem for smaller dogs.
