Does not work as advertised. Not worth it.

Product: Its very noisy and difficult to use. Not any better than a regular dremel tool.
Seller: The box it came in was open and the product was clearly not new. They should let you know before you purchase.

we have 5 dogs and 2 cats and the cats are ok with the nail clippers but the dogs aren't and they are mostly medium sized dogs so its hard work!! I tried step by step like it was listed on the manual but most of them were scared to death and peed all over the house.. one of them had a good response but he goes into the play mode (if you know what i mean..) and its dangerous!! to both of us!! when he gets excited i can't hold him down and he thinks i am playing with him.. and if i can't hold him down i can't see how much I am shaving it off.. and if I do it too much then it's going to hurt him... I could do the front paws but not the back paws.. so I tried to do on the chihuahua (because he is decently small..) but ooooh noooo... he cried and cried and cried and wiggled him self out of me.. I couldn't hold him down ether... so i tried on the cats.. they didn't like the vibration.. or they started to play with them.. when its on.. its dangerous!! he almost shaved his nose off!! so i tried when they were sleeping.. i could do one or two of them but the sound and the vibration woke them up and its too powerful for a kitten.. it seemed like the vibration was hurting his root of the nails... so i went back to the good old nail clippers.. it works fine and they don't seem to mind at all.. and its quick too!!
over all this product wasn't for our 4 legged family members.. but maybe it works for yours.. good luck!!

Maybe your dog is different from mine,but "Peticure Petite Nail Trimmer" scares the hell out of my dog,and I'm chasing him with the product more than I'm using it.The dogs and cats on the commercial most be drugged,or too old to run like my Airedale.I would rather clip my dogs nails instead.
The best way to cut your pet's nails

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE PETICURE POWER, PROFESSIONAL MODEL.
I have a great dog with a good temperament. However, to cut his nails and then spend a long time filing them takes a lot of time and patience on both the dog's and dog parent's part.
Even with walking outside the nails are still sharp. I saw an ad for the Pedipaws but searching on the internet, it was an offshoot from the Dremel and Peticure.
Not having much experience with these devices, I compared the prices of the 3 models by Peticure. There are three models: The Petite, Elite and Power. The Petite and Elite come with 3 filing bands. The Power which operates through a plug has 20 extra bands, is lighter and 2 times more powerful. Given the fact that bands are $15 for 20, there is no reason to get nothing but the Power model (except for recharging capability).
The 2 sheets that accompany the model are poorly written. You have to refer to the company website to watch the videos on how to operate this. Putting the thing together is not intuitive. More explicit directions would have been better.
You need to remove the plastic ring at the base of the head to attach the guard. You push the lock button to untwist the mechanism to place the drum on the unit.
The noise is a moderate pitched whirring sound. My dog was not frightened by it. There are preset ports that the nail is placed into. Stabilize the pet's finger and use quick strokes to file the nail. After some awkwardness of the operator, me, I got the hang of it. There are videos on the website to direct you. Dewclaws (at least on my dog's) were impossible to file. The guard prevents but does not entirely eliminate the possibility of hair getting caught into the mechanism so be careful.
After spending 3 times more effort assembling the unit versus actually using it, I was quite satisfied with it.
If you are concerned about cutting your dog's nails but want something quicker to use, this is IT! This helps me round out the 'sharp nails' that I have to deal with when my doggy greets us.
Aside from the stated 4-6 weeks of receiving it from ordering, it was worth the wait.
I highly recommend the PETICURE POWER, PROFESSIONAL MODEL.
Great Concept. Worth The Money. Be Sure To Acclimate Your Pet First!

When I saw the ad on TV for the Peticure, I decided to order one on Amazon. A year ago I had already ordered the dremel, a popular rotary grinder to shorten my dog's nails because my dog couldn't stand traditional nail clippers. The vets didn't usually do much more than a tiny trim of his nails either because of the way our dog acted. Although the dremmel was a definite improvement over the traditional nail clippers, debris from the nails would fly all over and it was loud and it skipped over nails quite a bit.
There is three peticure models, peticure petite for small dogs and the peticure elite for all dogs and cats, and the peticure power which has twice the power and is smaller than the other peticure models. I ordered the peticure elite for my medium sized german shepherd mixed dog. I was surprised out how well it worked. The Peticure is quiet, cordless, and all peticure models include the safeguard, which helps catch nail debris and secure the nail to the grinder.
One downside is that you will have to replace the Peticure filing bands once in awhile, the Peticure Petite only comes with 3 bands. The price is good, you can buy a refill of 10 more on Amazon for $9.99. Each band lasts a few sessions each after you get the hang of it.
To ensure you get the best results possible with your Peticure, I have added the video on acclimating your pet to the Peticure.
