"It smooths the rough edges on the nails that the trimmer leaves. Takes some practice to get it right, but I would not be without one."
"I was hoping that this would work faster than a file designed to leave a smooth edge on natural human nails, but it is slower. It does not take off enough material to effectively smooth our dogs nails after clipping."
If you need a quiet and effective tool for smoothing your dog's nails, the Safari Dog Nail File is a reliable option. Just be prepared for some learning curve and potential limitations with harder nails.
