I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews about Pedi paws catching on fire and burning up. Its a cheap knock off without sufficient power to do the job properly. They are 20.00 bucks and if the first one burns out on you and you have to buy a second one, well you wasted 20.00 bucks. Buy a quality product the first time.
I went to Target and for about 40.00 bought a dremel type tool, just not a Dremel brand. It works fantastic! You need something with variable speeds and this does it.
Sometimes I use the guillotine to trim the excess and then use the dremel. My one dog has all black nails and the other hates to have her nails trimmed so they get kinda long between trimmings.
If you use enough pressure and hold the nail firmly to the tip of the Dremel it goes much fast but you still have to be aware of how hot the nail is getting.
A Dremel is what my groomers use also.
