"Our chocolate lab has dark paws so its hard to see where the quick starts. This tool has been awesome. He doesn't mind me doing his nails. Thats important as using teh Dremel does take a lot longer than clipers. But its worth it. I haven't nipped his quick ever using this tool."

"I found it difficult to use the nail guard, it was an awkward angle for my pup and made it difficult to get a nice round nail. The adhesive nail pad also didn’t stay on. Great idea, poor execution."
