I have the original Pedicure, and I tried it on her the first day I got it and she hated it. Hubby said I was an idiot because it was nothing but a dremel tool with the protective head on it  So after that, we started using just the basic dremel (which she doesn't like either), but he finds it easier to use because her toenails are sooo tiny, it's hard to get them in the little guides on the pedicure. |

Hmm I wonder if I'll have the same trouble with the Pedi Paws  I looked up Peticure and they have a petite size is that the one you got for Holly? Did you buy the regular dremel at a pet store? A friend on another forum has Pedi Paw and I asked her if she had any trouble getting her chi's nails in it. Hopefully she doesn't because the nail cutters I was using are definitely out. |

Tricia my friend that has the Pedi Paw mentioned having to work to get her chi's nails in the hole and her pups are bigger than T&W so now I'm guessing a dremel is the way to go  Can you give me a link to the one you have and tell me where you got it? I've just been reading so many different opinions on which dremel to use for small dogs. They do all mention getting one that uses a sand band as the grinder so it won't heat their nails up and cause them pain. |

Yes, Jen, I got the petite size. I actually use my dremel tool (brand name Dremel) that I've had for years for sanding wood when I'm making placques and stuff. You can get a much cheaper brand too -- they'll all work just as well. As long as they are multi-speed, so you can use it on low, you can keep the nails from getting too hot. The important thing is to not hold it on the nail for an extended period of time. When we wait too long in between trimmings (which is always), hubby goes to each nail about 3 times -- that way he's not getting any of them too hot. I purchased a pack of very fine grit, very small sanding heads that I use for her toenails. Check out this link at Walmart -- a couple of the reviews on the first page are from people who bought it to do their dogs' toenails (I didn't read the rest of the reviews - there may be evern more). www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9714694 |
