How to use:
Monitor your pet's nails and trim when appropriate to avoid overgrowth. Pet's nails should not touch the floor when standing. Regular maintenance is important for the health and comfort of your pet.
Slowly introduce the grinder to your pet. When they are comfortable with the tool and the sound, you should begin working on the nails.
Begin by applying gentle pressure to the top of the foot and cushioning pad underneath – this will cause your pet to extend its claws.
If your pet's nails are white, pay close attention to where the nail turns pink. This is called the quick - where the nerves and blood vessels end in the nail.
Cutting into this sensitive area will cause pain and bleeding. Use of the LED light aids in identifying the quick. If your pet has dark nails and you can’t see the quick, grind the very tip of the nail - you'll have to grind the nails more often, but it's the only way to avoid cutting the quick.
Gently grind down the nail going slowly to keep your pet comfortable. Remove the sharp tip, grinding about halfway between the end of the quick and the tip of the claw.
Short passes of the grinder are recommended to avoid overheating the nail, which could cause discomfort.
