Not the same old grind

Pet owners throughout the country are throwing out their clippers and filing their pets’ nails with automatic grinders or files that are much less invasive. But beware! These products are definitely not all alike.

Buyer beware. A small drill-type tool called a dremel is used for sanding, grinding, cutting or drilling – and sometimes for pet grooming.

But think twice if you choose to use a dremel type tool on your pets’ nails for many reasons:
Your pets’ hair can get caught around the sander drum stem. It’s painful for your pet – and for you when you try to untangle your poor animal.
The noise and vibration can frighten your pets as much or more than clipping.
Your pet simply can’t tell you when the sander has hit a vein in the nail – until he or she yells out in pain.

There is a solution to your dog grooming needs. Peticure makes a soft rotary filer with a guard that goes on the end, making it much safer and easier to use and control.

Paws down, the Peticure guard beats the dremel in lots of ways:
· It eliminates projectile debris. The Peticure guard takes the debris out of the eyes of both you and your pet.
· It eliminates the possibility of hair winding in the bit.
· The guard removes any chance of accidental abrasion.
· And because the nail is held still by the guard on the drum, there’s no bumping and skipping.

Same old grind? Definitely not!

To clip or to file -- that is the question

As a pet owner, that question will eventually plague you: How are you going to get your pets’ nails clipped and what technique will you use?
Whatever you decide, nail grooming is critical. Neglecting your pets’ nails can cause broken nails, ingrown nails and nail bed infections. And walking a dog with ingrown or long nails is extremely painful (for the dog and for you!) and can cause permanent damage.
Maybe you’ve decided to have your pets’ nails trimmed by a groomer. While you believe this may be easier on you and your pet, it actually is not.
Your pet would far prefer that you groom him/her than a stranger – and learning how to care for their nails the right way is really quite easy. Professional trimming can be quite expensive and you run the risk of giving your pet an infection.
Maybe you’ve decided to do-it-yourself with:

Nail clippers:
The pro - they’re cheap.
The cons – they’re cheap.

Enough said.

A nail filing kit, like the Peticure:
The pros – works quickly and safely to trim your pets’ nails.
Helps avoid the nail quick and automatically cauterizes.
Gives you better control.
Saves you time and money on your pet grooming needs.

The cons – we sure can’t think of any.

Enough said.

Peticure Owners -have a little patience

I am mostly satisfied with my purchase. It has taken a day or two to get my dogs used to it. One wouldn't come near me when she heard it. I just turned it on while I walked them, tossed the ball, fed them treats or just sitting on the sofa. I touched it to their backs, legs and paws while the device was running. I changed the speed so they would get used to all of them. They are still adjusting to it. I was able to get the most difficult dog to sit still long enough to do 1 nail after two days. She would run when I pull out the vacuum so it was no surprise when she ran from this.

I have not been able to get all four paws done in one sitting as they both are a little unsettled by the feel of it. I am sure I will be able to get them both to come around in about a weeks time.

The sanding sleeves wear down rather quickly though. It would be great if you would provide about 8 sanding sleeves with the initial order. I do prefer this method to the clippers. I highly recommend this product.

The owners should have patience though because it may take a little effort to get the pet used to the sound and sensation of the device.

Thank you,
