Most dogs do better when you dremmel the nails, versus trimming them.? For those with hairy feet, we simply band the hair out of the way, same way we handle nail polish on hairy doggie feet, band the hair away, polish, let it dry and remove the band.....no big deal. We donated the "Peticures" to the shelter, that's how unimpressed we were with them.? At least it helps the volunteers with little or no experience dremmeling (is that a word?) nails.ri We keep an electric dremmel for the really big guys or for those whose nails are in really bad shape. The cordless works just fine with the dogs that get groomed regularly, as their nails are under control.

I will try it on my daughter's Yorkie.? Never had that problem with the GSD's and I use a regular Home Depot Dremel.? I prefer the battery ones for mobility but I have a plug in one too for home use.? The Pedicure looks bulky and not as easy to control as a plain old Dremel.

This keeps the hair out of the dremel. I don't have any long haired dogs, so I haven't tried it, but I've heard several people insist it works. Seems it would be a lot cheaper than the attachment on the TV device. Has anyone tried this?
