Peticure

I’m not entirely sure if these guys are still in business. It wouldn’t surprise me if they weren’t.
Peticure is a rotary nail trimming tool for your pet. The «elite» version I got is pretty much a low powered dremel-​like device with a plastic «guard» over the rotary grinding wheel. The guard has holes of various sizes that correspond to the diameter of your pet’s nail. You’re supposed to set the right size and trim away. the guard is supposed to keep you from getting your pet’s fur caught on the grinding wheel or accidentally grinding something other than a nail. That’s a good idea.
The problem with this product is that the power of the motor is too low. I have a 65 lb lab mix and her nails are thick and hard. In order to keep the tool from coming to a dead stop I have to be careful to barely touch the surface of the nail with it. Even then it can’t handle her nails. After about a year of trying to work with this thing (thinking it would work better once I got used to using it) I’ve given up. It’s too frustrating to use.

Gotta give some props up to Peticure… I admit I saw the TV ad like everyone else who wonders if this actually works. Our pup gets groomed every 8 weeks, but around week 6 those cute little nails turn into CLAWS.
So I figured I’d try it… surprise it actually works. And quite well indeed! Yes you have to buy replacement filers eventually, but we’ve used it a few times and not had to replace yet… we have an 18 – 20 lb dog and was able to get away with the Peticure Petite which is like $ 30 instead of $ 40 if I remember correctly… bonus save.
Our pup absolutely HATES when I would trim her nails so I never would (bad puppy cutting quick experience that scarred us all and that was 4 years ago, all around yikes!)…so we’d just suffer with the claw-​monster the last few weeks before the grooming appt but thankfully no longer, she actually sits still and lets us Peticure her with no issues which is amazing. We intro’d her to it slowly and treated her each time, thankfully it was not an issue. Be careful to not leave it in one spot too long as I imagine it would burn though… kinda like those nail salon electric filers.
If you are on the fence about trying it, it’s recommended in our household at least for smaller pups, not sure how effective it’d be on massive Shepherd nails !! Buying experience was pretty painless and it arrived within 7 days. We ordered on

Why wasn’t this MY idea? Seriously!
