Pedipaws pet nail trimmer

This review was written by veterinarian, Dr. Marie.

Almost every day one of my clients asks me my opinon on the Pedipaws nail trimmer.  The idea sounds good – a quiet grinder that makes it almost impossible to cut your dog’s nails too short.  It is advertised as the savior for pets who hate to have their nails trimmed.

But…I had my doubts.

Over the last few weeks I am starting to hear reports from my clients who have actually bought a Pedipaws nail trimmer in the hopes of making life easier for both them and their anxious dog or cat.  And guess how many were happy with their purchase?  None!

I definitely do not recommend this product.  Most animals who are afraid of having their nails trimmed are also afraid of the Pedi-Paws.  The one benefit that I can see is that it may help someone whose pet is ok with nail trimming, but the owner is afraid to cut the quick too short.

PediPaws Videos:

Just for fun, I found some youtube videos showing people using their PediPaws nail trimmer:

And just to be fair…here is a video of a dog who actually enjoys his Pedipaws nail trimmer:

Pros:

• If your pet handles nail trimming well, but you are not good at avoiding the quicks then this may be the tool for you
  
• Relatively inexpensive

Cons:

• If your pet is not good for nail trimming, this is not likely to help
• Not good for large dog nails
• Goes through batteries quickly
• Can be traumatizing!
