So my berried and I got this because we had a big dog that had long nails and whenever he would get excited he would jump up on people so we knew we had to do something. There were a lot of commercials about these pedipaws at the time so we bought one. However when we tried to use it on our dog he was super freaked out by it and he really didn't like the noise it made. There was also the way the cat would let us go near him with this. So we had to stick to a grooming salon to get his nails done.
