Thank you for taking the time to create this site. I have not gone through the entire list of comments but I will make it a point to do so soon. I am going to use my Pedipaws on my newly rescued Toy Poodle. He is very meek but has been so traumatized in the past that I overprotect him a little. I will be back with the description of my experience and to compare my results with the posted comments. It is so good to have a place to “go to” for support.

Bless you for being responsible dog parents. The thought of having three of them boggles my mind, but whatever floats your boat. (I was going to say “whatever wags your tail” but I am not sure how that would impress you. LOL

Back with you soon.

I was so going to buy a Pedipaws due to all the hype and advertising. I am so glad to check around for people and groomers who have used it. Now I realize there are PediPaws, PediCure and Dremel. Some call the same products Peti Paws or Peti Cure.

The complaints with PediPaws are mostly not enough power for thicker nails (dark nails like my dog has), not receiving their order when ordered online, having credit card overcharges, and pets scared of the noise of the motor.

The complaints with Pedicure are mostly with the price, but overall people seems to be happier with Pedicure than Pedipaws.

The summary I get is that some people, esp those with smaller pets, like Pedipaws or Peti Cure. The MAJORITY prefers to use the dremel AND buy the safety cap for the dremel from Peticure http://www.peticure-grooming.com/Peticure-Safe-Guard_p_0-14.html.

The story I get is that the dremel works faster, can get replacement filer easier, and you can get it from your local home improvement stores. Some people find it easier to see the nails without the cap as well.

The only two things with the dremel is that it does not collect the nail dust (wear a mask & glasses if you are sensitive) and if you are overzealous you can still cut the quick or bleed your pet. However, this is the case even with the other two tools as the safety cap is not foolproof.

So for me, I am going to get the dremel that the Peticure safety cap accessory can fit. It costs a bit more in the end but sounds like the best solution from a lot of people.

Here’s is a site with detailed info how to use the dremel: http://homepages.udayton.edu/~merensjp/doberdawn/index.html

Good Luck!

Thanks for the reviews. My in-laws just got the PediPaws and we were thinking about trying it. I hate to cut their toenails, but they don’t freak out too bad.

Definitely videotape the screaming. I have heard that pugs scream, but ours don’t. They just snort a lot. =)
