Before you can actually use this product you first must accustom your pet to the PediPaws. Unless he or she is in a coma, your pet will absolutely despise the sound and vibration of it. Don't let that deter you! As the caring, dedicated pet owner that you are, you will persevere!
After one very long week, I learned that Sophie the dog is more patient than stubborn, and grudgingly learned to "put up" with the tool. However, Fuzzy the cat refused to do the same--he saw no need to suffer fools gladly.
The experience revealed two major drawbacks with the PediPaws: It files the nail in miniscule amounts at a time and can only be used in bursts of 7 seconds or so. (If used longer, the heat generated through friction could injure your pet.) If your dog's nails are overlong, this project could take you days---maybe weeks. Even if the nails were recently trimmed, you will have to constantly file them to maintain that length.
If you and your pet are extraordinarily patient, you would probably not even worry about purchasing this product, but you might enjoy the challenge of using it nonetheless. If you find it hard to resist a new gadget or power tool, I recommend buying the complete Dremel Drill Tool Set. That way, when you abandon using it to file nails, you will be able to find less dubious uses for it.
As for myself, I intend to keep it and, during evenings while watching TV, I will file my own nails. It is my hope that its sound, vibration and heat will remind me to never again purchase anything that is: "As Seen On TV."

If you are looking for a review of the product itself, please skip to the bottom of this 'review'. The following describes my experience with Telebrands. I ordered this online through the pedipaws (telebrands) website figuring that since I could not get free shipping through Amazon, it would be cheaper to pay $19.99 than what is offered here. To make a long story short, even though I checked off the option to NOT get the "bonus" de-shedding tool, it was added to my bill (free with $8 S&H). I wanted to fix this issue ASAP. I ordered on Saturday but could not call until Monday. I called on Monday and while they had not processed my order and thus could not find it, the person on the phone said "everyone gets that whether they check the option or not". At this point, I decided to cancel but again, was told that since they didn't have the order, there was nothing to cancel. I was told to call back on Wednesday. In the meantime, I gave the credit card company a heads-up. I then found another number on the Telebrands website and called back (still on Monday). This person was only slightly better than the first but also repeated that they could not cancel since they didn't see the order. What I questioned her on was on their policy of only being able to cancel an order PRIOR to their processing the order. Once they started processing, it cannot be cancelled (it can be returned but not S&H which was the whole point!). She said she would "try" to cancel. I called back on Wednesday and was told it was cancelled on Monday. I reminded them that I never got the e-mail cancellation so she did send one. The problem? It was for $30.29, not the $36.30 that I was billed. My credit card company has been notified of possible fradulent charges and I do have the printouts of the receipts.
My only warning is not about the product but to be careful of where you order this product from.
Product review updated 11/30/08:
Since posting my original review, I have since purchased this item from a local retailer. I would rate it a solid three stars.....very average. I have 2 dogs and 1 tolerates it well while the other does not. I have followed all instructions that come with it. I don't think this is a good way to "clip" your dogs nails, I think it is more something to keep them trim and clean until they can be cut professionally which is something I will continue to do. One thing of note is that this device seems to work better without the plastic shield to capture the clippings. I can't really explain why but it is noticeable. I also seem to be unable to change the stars from 1 to 3. Sorry.
By the way, to those who commented on my original review, this was my only "non-product review". I hope in the future, people can be more kind when commenting on reviews. It is one thing to give a 'not helpful' comment, it is another thing to call me names.
 I had high hopes. October 7, 2008

I was excited when my pedipaws arrived, my dog hates having her nails trimmed and keeping her still is a chore. I acclimated my dog just like the instructions say, and she did okay but the pedipaws didnt. It's basically a grinder so you would think its easy, but the thing only has one speed, a safety guard that blocks your view, and is bulky and awkward. I managed to grind down my dogs nails, but not smoothe them well. I do not expect everyone to have the same experience that I have, but I still would not reccomend this product.

After hearing many reviews about the Pedi-Paw ( a competitor), I saw this at my local Wal-Greens and decided to try and give this product a try. I paid about 20.00 the same price listed here.
As the instructions stated, both my dogs were freaked out by the gadget, but after about a week, they got use to the noise it was I that couldn't get use to how long it took just to file down one nail.
The Pedicure only has one speed (SLOW!) and has no power at all! You have to put very little pressure to the nail which does nothing to my dog's nails. If you try and put even the slightest additional pressure, it just stops.
I gave it to my friend to try and the same thing happened to him. We concluded, this is a piece of junk.
I buy lot's of things on amazon and always read the reviews and find them very helpful, so I figured this was my turn to help someone else out. Really, this is not a good product. I would research the Pedi-Paws if you want something similar. Me, I will stick to the clippers and file..I think my dogs appreciate that too:)
TERRIBLE, JUST TERRIBLE October 14, 2008

This is terrible! Did nothing for my dogs. It's run by 2 C batteries and that's not enough power. Don't buy. You will be sorry. Maybe it might work for tiny dogs, puppies or cats but not big dogs. I ended up buying the Oster Grinding Kit and that works great!!
