Small Dog Nail File Paw Grooming, Gentle Pet Nail Filer for Claws & Paws, Ideal for Small Dogs, Cats, Birds - Premium Czech Glass

As the file's description clearly states - this is for small dogs, and for ours (English Toy Terrier) it's a perfect size and grain. I have a number of files with various coarseness for shaping my own nails for guitar playing - this file is much coarser than any I have without "catching" like a stainless steel one I've tried. As for it's construction, I can confirm this has genuinely etched surfaces, and not glued-on glass powder as found on cheaper files. If the file feels less effective after using for a while - rinse with warm water and a dab of detergent. After a final rinse and dry it's as good as new again. Having used this on our dog that gets nervous when it's nail-trimming-time, I'm very pleased with it. It takes down the nail at a reasonably quick rate whilst not splitting shards off. Our pooch stays quite relaxed and even starts to fall asleep ... bonus. There's been mention of the information leaflet stating this is for humans? Not the one I ordered and received. It clearly states it's been made with dogs, cats & birds in mind - I'd personally agree. Having a flat side and a curved, shaping side is great. You get a good professional looking finnish in no time. I'd personally recommend this for small dogs, especially if like ours, they're nervous about a nail trimming.

I’m giving 3 stars because although the product came as it shows in the picture, I just don’t think nail files work on dogs unless they are the electric kind. I’ve used a few different types but I don’t notice a difference at all.

Our dog was happier having his claw's filed than cut. I find the file got hot after a while but. that maybe because claw's overdue and it will be a lot quicker next time.

We bought this for our Pug who it takes 3 people at the local Vets to cut her nails. The one new Vet who wasn't aware of Jill's reputation thought she could do it by herself. She came out 30 mins later covered in blood (we weren't sure who's blood) saying it's all done. Anyway, we've used this on her 3 times, not easily but way better than having her nails cut. It's nice and smooth on one side and the other side is nice and rough and has a curve on it. I would like to see different options, like a thinner file, Jill is quite small and her nails curl and this was almost too thick. As we've just got it I can't comment how long it lasts but we are very happy with the file so far.

I bought this for my dog to prevent her nails getting too sharp. She is a bit wary of it, but it has been useful. But I have also used this for my nails and its a very good product for shaping and filing. I like the fact that it comes with a cover.

I bought this nail file as it was recommended for use on dog nails. It is absolutely useless for this purpose so don't waste your money on it. It is a nice file for use by humans and I will use it for that purpose. But certainly inadequate for use on a dog's claws.

Very essay to use and my dogs don't mind it, works out a lot cheeper then bringing them to someone to clip there nails. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately this was a failed mission trying to file my pugs claws. He didnt like it at all. Can’t comment on the effectiveness as he wouldn’t let me use it!
