If your dog's nails are long and curled over you have not had them cut in a long time. Problem is the quick will move/grow also meaning if you try to cut them short now your dog will bleed. Long nails should be cut in intervals of about 2 weeks which allows for the quick to retrieve. I would NOT cut my dog's nail myself if they are too long. Better see a vet.

Honestly- yes. BUT, you must be careful of how short you cut the dogs nails. I recently trimmed my pooches and he "whimpered" a bit on one of the last nails I was trimming and he started to bleed. :( I do recommend this product. I love it!

if you can get the nail into it then yes. If it will not fit under the trimmer I would take to a dog groomer and get it trimmed. this clipper is wonderful, we were paying $10 a month so it has paid for itself. I recommend getting styptic powder in case you go too far in cutting your dogs nails. just something good to have around.

My daughters dog's nails curl under also. The small end makes it easy to get between the nail and the pad of the foot. I took her to the vet and after he cut her nails I asked what kind of clippers he had and he told me these.

It has a finish on the wood, which is slippery, and gaps that the dog's nails will likely catch in. Between slipping on the thing &/or catching & ripping a nail, still IMHO would not use this. Good luck whatever you decide.

I don't know... I've owned it for about a year, and used it successfully on two malteese like dogs with matted hair, but just this week it wasn't working and a screw popped out, so I don't know what's going on with it. It did work well though on really messed up dogs, giving them an estimate of three hair cuts each. I'm wondering if it just needs to be oiled? If it only gave three hair cuts each then that's kind of poohy, but it did still save me money from a groomer.

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.

Um im not sure. But DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! Omg please dont!!! Noooooooooooooo RIPOFF! I wish someone had told me it didnt work before i bought. It just slides around on your nail. And. It drys in the plate in like 2 seconds because its such a thin layer. And that thing to scratch it off with doesnt works. My advice is just buy nail stickers, i love them.

You are prety much on your own. I have requested and searched for customer service since I bought the nailer to no avail. The nailer is a very good one, but things do happen and wear out. If youcan stand the thought of a throw away, you will be fine. It is very disappointing and irritating that Amazon sells or subs out something that once sold leaves you cold. If you find where to get service - let all of us know.

I know this is an old question but I thought I'd answer for others. It does work for thick coated dogs. I have a double coated long hair border collie/malamute mix. He doesn't feel it right away, it just shocked him for the first time today :(It took 4 or 5 barks, but he got a very confused look on his face and jumped. So it will work, it just takes a few more barks for them to feel it

My dog's fur varies in length, so no, I bought the long haired one. I saw a picture of a German Shepard on amazon and the owner had purchased a long haired, so I thought that was similar to my dog's fur. It gets thicker and longer towards her hind legs. I will try to repost a picture with my review. I did brush my friends shorter hair dog with mine and it worked on her too.

I'm not sure what the Pawz are made from, but I believe some other reviews mention them tearing, so you might want to look at that. Plus, you need to consider how long your dog's nails are--will they either push through the Pawz, be felt through the Pawz, or will it be uncomfortable for your dog? I really can't answer these questions but you might find some answers in other reviews, or buy a set and experiment. Hope all goes well for you at Day Care!

Not sure about that. I have had dogs but don't have one now. It probably depends on whether or not you keep the dog's nails clipped short and filed. It's a pretty tight weave.

If the nails are long enough. I found them difficult to use, but I was trying to use them to help my dog that drags her toenails. I glued her toes together and while the glue says it's pet friendly, it irritated her skin which turned raw. I felt awful!

I did the same thing for my 2 dogs and taped their name above which side cote old their collar so I wouldn't shock the wrong one. Lol a couple things to let you know... The clasps are cheap plastic and break easy. Idk what kind of dogs you have but I have a black lab with a thinner neck and it works good for her. For my Dachshand it doesn't work well because it is too big and even being tightened to the max is still not enough. For my American bulldog with a larger neck it is not big enough and would be tight at first and now he can't wear it at all. Sorry for such a delayed response. I have been so busy.

I've used them on my collies, my cats (tiny nails), and my son's bulldogs (very thick nails) and it was fine on all. It was more about my skill than the nail size.

It's going to depend on the design of the nail. As a seller I couldn't guarantee it. I don't stock the pin nails to test. If you send some I would be happy to test them.Rich W. RHW Surplus Sales

I'm a new customer, so this is just my opinion, but they are very similar to a balloon material-wise and shouldn't bother the dog. They may try to chew on them though and I don't think that would be good because the first pair I used started to tear from toenails after the second use...so I would worry that the dog may chew through them and swallow the material. If the dog wouldn't chew the material, they may work great for you.

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?

I would anticipate your dogs' nails would snag 100% cotton. You may be better off going with a more durable fabric like polyester. It depends on what is more important to you, softness or durability.
