Our Bull Terrier, Gavin has the weirdest nails.  They are white and look as if they’d be easy to trim, but they grow too thick to snip with clippers and he went crazy if we tried to use the Dremel tool on them to grind them down as we had successfully done with our previous Bull Terriers.

     Dear Hubby decided to buy the Peticure© he’d seen on TV.  Well, when it arrived it was almost identical to our cordless Dremel tool including the same noise and vibrations.  The only difference was the Peticure had a plastic safety cover over the sanding disk.  Gavin was not amused. 

     However, DH was determined and after many doggie treats with no grinding and just the noise and vibration of the tool, he made his first attempt to grind away.  I walked across the room to retrieve the Peticure while he coaxed Gavin back onto his lap.  

     A dozen treats and several more tool and dog retrievals later, DH successfully completed trimming one nail.  It’s been a long road the last two months but now Gavin has short nails.

     Today Gavin will allow DH to trim his nails whenever he wants to…if DH has a pocket full of treats.
