How easy does it puncture because of the dogs' nails? I have Multiple Sclerosis, have to buy online. The hard plastic ones want $190 S&H.

So far they haven;t punctured the plastic in the pool. I have a golden retriever and I watch my son's weimaraner, both have long nails. They don;t go in the pool much, its too small for both of them. The weimaraner did figure out how to unplug it and the water gets going out. I too was going to purchase a hard plastic one, until I saw the price. I don;t think this pool was worth $30, but that was all I could find that I could have shipped to me for free.Hope this helps.

So far no punctures at all. I have 2 young Scottish Terriers and have had no problems.. It seems very thick to me, but this is the first pool I have bought in years. I hope that helps.

Ped-i-paw is cheap junk. The one I had would stop turning as soon as I touched a nail. Buy a dremel tool. Works faster and better. Makes a little more noise but they will get used to it after a few minutes.

Yes, although it takes time at least for my Golden Retriever to get used to the motor sound and most dogs are nervous about their feet and nails. Patience and short sessions? BTW, I more often us this B&D; on my toe nails when my large nail cutter can't do it. One last thought, I bought an extra large dog nail cutter with extra leverage and just do a few nails at a time. It is much faster if you have the leverage to get through with one squeeze. Then use the B&D; to smooth the cut edges?

Half an hour for my dog too. The larger ones have lasted for weeks without puncture.

I have two aggressive chewers. I had one of these balls destroyed within a week. I am trying out equivalent balls from Planet Dog purchased at my local pet store because the store owner said that I can get a free replacement for any "Five bone" Planet Dog toy as long as I have my receipt. My goal is not to have the local pet store owner go broke.

I try to push the nail out a little like you can do with a cat. I went to YouTube and searched for how to use the Dremel for dogs nails. I don't remember which video clip I watched but the guy was really good and explained how to be safe with your dog. Good luck, I hope this helps you.

Sorry, I gave this as a "stocking stuffer" to my daughter who trims her dogs' nails. No idea. Isn't there manufacturer's contact info on the label? If not, you could do a computer search for them and get the customer services number or contact info.

It's not too hard. The biggest thing is to be slow and careful. Also try to keep your dog calm and comfortable. Mine doesn't mind the sound of clippers, but yours may and that would probably make it harder. The instructions do a pretty good job of explaining how to do things. As long as your keeping up on the grooming and your dog doesn't have a bunch of tangles/mats in his/her hair it shouldn't be hard at all. :) let me know if you have any other questions. Also I've had no problems with these clippers. Maybe I just got lucky but to me they seem great for the price. Hope that helps.

They don't hurt the dog. It's enough pressure for them to realize that they are being corrected. I have no punctures as compared to some of the other metal barbed collars. It's nice to have extra links as in the wintertime i need to add one more as she gets her thicker coat.

The entire thing is made of a very hard plastic. It does do WONDERS on the trigger points that I can reach! Thereare no special grips, as the design is such that most people can reach just about anywhere with it. If you have tough trigger points like I do, then it is definitely worth the investment, just one use is cheaper than getting a massage or going to a Physical Therapist. It wasn't until I read the instrction manual that I discovered that it can be used for Reflexology as well! I hope this answers your questions, if you have any more, please don't hesitate to ask me.

I purchased this specifically for use on my dog's nails. I use the round sanding drum with an appropriate sanding disc. Have used this method for over 20 yrs. on both large and small dogs.

Yes - great. Use the long pen-like attachment for my little ankle-biters. Just a note - use only for 2-4 seconds per nail! It gets VERY HOT and the quick reacts badly to the heat. Overall, it's easy, quieter and with time, the dogs are less freaky.

Hi JoAnne , I would ask another vet !? My vet doubles the price well almost tripped ? He said buy here too ? I brought them in after I read this and he shows me his and they even have the same marks ion the tabs ? I'm happy I can get them so inexpensive as I know my dogs do better in them and a life time user and never a problem oh my dog got sick one had a sensitive stomach and so I give with food ? Other than that nothing but hep ?

I'm not sure why Amazon is able to provide the same product- it's not a knock-off, but the vet's price is always higher than Amazon. My 14 year old lab has been on this for over a year and she can jump up like she did in her younger days with 2 tabs per day. My daughter told me about it as she works for a vet and even though her dogs are younger, it is cold in Montana and this product keeps the 'guys' from having stiff joints in the am.

If you type in "dog" after you clicked on reviews you can see that there are people (including professional groomers) using these on nails on the low speed. I hope this helps. I am going to order one.

I use mine several times daily for 6 dogs. This is the third one I have had in 3 years but they don't wear out it is clumsy me that breaks them by using them inappropriately. Like as a walking stick to stop myself slipping down a bank. I think these are the best available at a reasonable cost, better than welded tin ones.

I just read that they are guaranteed by Planet Dog - you call call the company and ask your questions 1-800-381-1516. I am thinking about getting our power chewer the diamond plate ball... it's their most durable- so maybe it will last more than a few minutes... I guess there's only one way to know for sure. I wish they'd make them without the big treat hole!!
