Furminator Nail Grinder Professional Grooming Tool for Pets, 8" L

Used on my smallest dog (20lb) twice. He lays there and goes to sleep when I use this on his nails and will let me use as long as it takes. So much easier than clipping him! After much coaxing I finally used on my largest dog (50lb) who has very thick nails. It worked great on him. Takes a little more time but works great. He’s a work in progress as he would only be still for short periods of time. My 3rd dog (30lb) is still hiding from this thing! But she hides when I get clippers out too. PROS: easy to use, the light is a nice feature, works good on nails of all sizes and thickness. Priced right. CONS: very very loud, the smaller hole in the guard is pretty useless even for the smallest nails. I’m not sure why but just didn’t work, but used the larger hole and worked great on small and large nails.

I was using a Pedi Paw but it was slow going because it was very weak and would bog down and stop if any pressure was applied. I considered getting a Dremel but I’m not impressed with the looks of the upgraded nail guide system and neither are many reviewers. So I got the Furminator and it works great. The guard is similar to what I was used to and it makes quick work of my 2 standard (large) poodles nails because the motor is quite strong. I only need to use it on the low speed. That’s good because the high speed is very noisy. I saw a few reviews that said it was weak but I use rechargeable batteries and it has lots of power and I can do both dogs in about 20 min with power to spare. There is a design flaw IMHO. The tab that locks the battery holder in place is at a seam where the two halves of the main unit come together. This puts pressure at bad spot and causes the seam to spread at that point which looks like it could break if not careful. I removed the battery holder, put a drop of Crazy glue on the seam at that point and after 30 min inserted the battery pack and it doesn’t spread the seam anymore. You get a extra grinding tube but no instructions on how to install it. Loosen the screw on the end of the drum, remove the old grinding tube, install the new one and tighten the screw to expand it to hold the tube firmly in place so it doesn’t slip on the drum. Originally the screw on mine was loose so the grinding drum was slipping and moving back and forth on the drum like other reviewers have reported. Don’t bother using the included batteries, they are zinc carbon and can’t supply enough current. Alkaline or NMHI rechargeables are a must. The light helps you to see what you’re doing. If your dog has transparent nails like one of mine you can check the location of the quick easily by shining the light from the opposite side the nail before grinding from the proper side. To keep the nails from heating up too much do a bit on each nail and repeat. Your dog will be much more comfortable. Trimming the nails every week or two makes it easy and quick work.

hat alles perfekt geklappt, unser Hund lässt sich die Prozedur wider erwarten problemlos gefallen---lange Krallen sind Vergangenheit--ohne Tierarztstress ! Kann das Produkt wärmstens empfehlen u. unser Hund hat sehr starke Krallen !

This is so much better than the traditional nail clippers. It works really well and after a few tries my dog has gotten used to it.

funciona muy bien para las uñas gruesas de mi perro. Cuanta con un repuesto, pero el que ya venía puesto lo he usado al menos 6 veces y aun finciona bien.
