I'd just do one or two at a time when they were relaxed, so it was not a big thing. I used to trim my cats’ claws. I’d just do one or two at a time when they were relaxed, so it was not a big thing.

It looks good on TV but you know how that goes. A Dremmel tool also works great, if you have the patience for it. Anyone know if the Pedi-Paws is quieter than a Dremmel? With no guard on it, using the Dremmel has it's own hazards to both the user and the critter. It really is a good idea to remove the dew claws on newborn pups. It eliminates a lot of grief later in life. Glad to hear the positive comments about the Pedi-Paws thing. It looks good on TV but you know how that goes.

Both their nails were getting really *really* long, and my daughter and I were trying to figure out the best way to clip them. We finally bought PediPaws, and my daughter went to work on them. Their nails are almost at acceptable lengths now! The light-nailed dog had major dew claw curling, and it took us a few days and lots of patience to get them cut back.

We bought this anticeptic powder that would stop the bleeding because usually we'd goof on at least one nail. We all hated nail time. And now my daughter has a black dog and first nail, first cut they went too deep. Our vets charge for an entire visit so it's really not affordable. I don't even try my 6 cats because my first one was so frantic about the whole thing. But I won't have them taken out either - just don't believe in it. Our second dog had black nails – a disaster.
