Can anyone help?

Thanks everyone for your concern for Lacey and discussing ways to trim nails.

So Annette, What do you think about trying on of these? Lacey can be the official Pet Talk spokesdog for this product.

Ha, I don't know about Lacey being spokesdog for anything! She's probably the last dog I'd try it on!

Most of my dogs have the pink toenails

Lacey has one white nail.Layla has none. Jake has a couple.

I use a guillotine type cutter and it is slowly, over time, getting dull. I was actually going to go to Petsmart this week and see about getting another one

Pam, you do know they make replacement blades? In fact the clippers I was using had a new blade in it. I think I got a bad angle on her nail as it's not really that short. When I stop and think I've been clipping Lacey's nails for 8 years and only maybe 2 or 3 times of an oopsie, that's not bad,especially when she's not a happy camper when I clip them. Layla, I drew blood one time in two years and Jake, nothing yet. Right now I'm dreading clipping nails again but I guess that will fade, except for Lacey, I dread everytime I have to cut hers. Now it will be worse.

The dremel does make noise, but it's not bad at all. It's a quiet hum.

Like all grooming, it's something you have to train a bit at first. But, seriously, after your first 3 Dremels, you become a pro.

Peticure is the same as Dremel, except you can change drill heads and use the Dremel for both wood AND doggy projects Plus, I personally don't like the guard on the Peticure. I prefer to file all sides of the nail rather than just the front. That's how you can really shave it down to small nubs (for visuals of what I mean, check out DoberDawn's tutorial on Dremels).
