Highlighted Reviews

— DonAngelosMom

"Bought for my mom because she liked mine. Great that the heads are interchangeable and replaceable. Love the guard and the fact it is easy to use. My dog has conjoined toes so clipping the usual way does NOT work. This product was the easiest way to keep those nails trim and no fear of hurting him."

— Laterra

"Well, I read all the reviews on this product prior to buying it... the reviews were pretty positive and said it was quiet and their pet got used to it...sadly, my dog freaked out and I couldn't get within a foot of him with the machine... He hates anyone/anything near his paws.. we have him since he..."

Bottom Line

Consider this product if your pet is tolerant of nail grooming tools. Otherwise, look for alternatives that might be more suitable for fearful pets.
