Guillotine vs. Non

[Mia]

well impulse buyer that I am , I just bought the peticure that you suggested Pat. I like the features it has over a regular dremel, as Nike and Mia don't really like to get their nails trimmed, I think this will work much better.

If I were to get the peticure model should I get the petite or the regular size? I also found a dremmel model on amazon:

Anyone used this one before?

Since your pup will be over 15lbs when mature, you would be better off with the regular size. And the Dremel that you noted is typically what most of us use (especially us that show). And that is OK too..
The nice thing about the Peticure (and I am only speaking from seeing the pictures, I don't have one) is that the guard… keeps you from winding up getting your own nails too...

And it does take some practice to use any grinder... along with time to get your pup used to it... but IMO, way better then nail clippers...

Hm…dremel or peticure...I'll figure something out hopefully. I'll keep you guys updated on how the one I purchase turns out. :)

I use the rechargeable dremel, It's great, Reggie used to be HORRIBLE about geting his nails done, now with the dremel he holds his foot up waiting, and if I do Tiggy's nails first he gets impatient and huffs at me, I do them every Sunday

This is the one I use link the low setting is great for all nails, the high setting I only use when I first start on Reggie's nails, Tigs are to small for a higher speed, but Reggie has big thick nails

That's actually the one I ended up buying today, from Amazon & everything. I hope it comes next week since I am excited to try it out. That sounds weird doesn't it? :p

LOL, na doesn't sound weird LOL, besides great minds think alike

I also have the one you posted earlier, but it DRAINS the batteries fast, I get 2 use (per dog) for every set of batteries (it uses 4 AA)

While the dremel is great… for newbes... please be careful using these... the one thing I liked about this new one (peticure) it is nail guard...

[Ninabeana26]

Don't worry Pat, I will be extra cautious. The last thing I want to do is hurt my baby! That's why I didn't want to user clippers! I'll take it slow until both he & I get used to it :) Plus it was only $30 so if it proves to be too difficult I can always just buy the Peticure :) Michelle bought the peticure so we'll have to compare the two!

Another recommendation for using a dremmel tool here.
