Pedi Paws - Endorsement

Bought it on a lark, figuring between almost a dozen buns, two cats and two dogs we better give it a shot. Tried it tonight on Sam, with fabulous results. The dogs were curious enough to hang out while we did so, even the cats were curious.

Our recommendation:
Make a bunny burrito by wrapping bunny in a thick towel before flipping him on his back. Goo-goo noises and nose pettins are now appropriate. When ready hold the part where the claw exits the paw firmly between your thumb and index with the foot pushed gently to the bunny's belly so he can't pull it back and break a limb or dislocate. Begin with the rear feet before the front feet so bunny has longer to acclimate.

Turn the Pedi Paws on, so the animal can hear it before you bring it close, it's fairly quiet really. When all is calm, insert the tip of the nail against the top of the cutting guard. The rotating wheel will vibrate the claw, which is why you need to hold the base of the nail, otherwise it may easily twist - possibly hurting or breaking bunny's toes. This thing isn't quick, but it is effective. We were able to use the Pedi Paws within an inch of Sam's face, without any discernible stress or concern from Sam. He even sniffed it a time or two.

The Pedi Paws collects the nail dust, so you don't have to worry about bunny's sensitive eyes. And Sam, despite not knowing us very well, was calm and complacent during his very necessary nail trim.

All in all, we give Pedi Paws four paws out of five.

Hey, that's cool! I wondered if those worked or not.

Thought folks might be curious, especially those in the "trade" as it were.

I was skeptical, as I am with most things in life. *WEG* But I was really impressed with this thing. Not having that horrid snap of clippers seems to really help animals get through a trim.

I don't review things like this often, which I hope translates how impressed we are when I do.

Thanks! :)

Wow, thanks for the endorsement. I've been wanting to know just how good those things really are -- Katie's claws are solid black, and I have a bitch of a time missing the quick!

And while I already trust your judgement in most things :) I DEFINITELY trust your judgement on pet-related items!

Dear Santa, I have been a very very good Paigemom this year...
