PawGlide Pro

This is exactly who PawGlide Pro is made for. Most of the fear comes from two things — the crushing pinch of clippers and the loud buzz of cheap grinders. PawGlide Pro files gently instead of crushing, and it runs much quieter, so the two things that scare your dog are gone. Go slow the first few times and give treats, and most dogs settle down within a week or two.

It is much quieter than the clipper fight and the cheap grinders most people try first. We will be honest with you though, it is not silent, it makes a soft hum. But it is quiet enough that a nervous dog can stay calm instead of bolting. We would rather tell you the truth than promise something it cannot do.

Yes, with a little patience. Use Port 3, the largest opening, for thick nails. We will be straight with you, a big dog takes a few minutes per session, not seconds. But you get through every nail without the wrestling match, and without nicking the quick.

It is actually the opposite. This is where a grinder is safest. With clippers and black nails you are guessing where the quick is. With PawGlide Pro you take off a tiny bit at a time and stop the moment you get close, so dark nails are far easier to do safely.

A nail grinder is a grooming tool that the American Kennel Club and many vets recommend for trimming at home. The gentle filing means you are far less likely to hit the quick than with clippers. A couple of easy tips come in your free Calm-Trim Guide, like grinding in short passes so the nail does not get warm, and tying back the fur on long-haired dogs so it does not catch. If your dog has a paw injury, check with your vet first.

For most dogs it takes a week or two of short, calm sessions. The first few times you go slow, file a little, give a treat, file a little more. Owners tell us that after about a week the shaking and the hiding stop, and the trim turns into a quiet few minutes on the couch.

The cheap ones people grab first are loud, and that buzz scares an anxious dog as much as the clippers do. PawGlide Pro is built to run quieter and smoother, it comes with three sized ports for small, medium, and large dogs, and it is backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee. You are paying for the quiet and the guarantee, not a noisy tool you will give up on.

PawGlide Pro is rechargeable with a USB cable, so there is no cord in the way while you work, and one charge lasts through plenty of trims.

You send it back within 90 days for a full refund, and even the shipping is free. If your dog is not calmer at nail time, you do not pay.
