Bona Fide Beauty Pet Nail File for Small Pets (Paw Print Design)

My mini poodle hates having her nails trimmed. I have used everything there’s out there for dog’s nail trimming and nothing has worked( electric trimmers, clippers, hammock, etc). Last month it occurred to me to use my nail file to trim her nails and it worked! The only thing I did not like was the fact that as I was trimming her nails she was licking the nail file. I came to Amazon looking for a glass nail file so if she decides to lick the glass as I am trimming her nails isn’t that bad. I received it today and I used it right away and it worked wonders! She let me trimmed all her nails and she was comfortable. This nail file is 💯 recommended!

Very nice and elegant pet nail file.

I bought this product to use on my cat, but it didn't work for him - the cat's claws have a layered consistency like mica. Using any kind of emery to round out the clipped edge made the nail fray off in layers, which resulted in a messy nail edge that took a while to grow out (I kept finding claw layers on the floors) and an unhappy cat. It was worth a try, but realistically, if you keep the cat in possession of a good-condition scratching post (sisal is great), the cat will buff his nails himself. So I decided to use this myself! I can tell you on human nails, this works great. I had it 2.5 years until I dropped it from the medicine cabinet and it broke in half. It is made of glass, after all. A note about buffing: I've seen people refer to a "back and forth motion" and this is wrong, at least on humans. You always move in one direction so that you don't fray the "grain" of the nail cell formation. (Pay attention if you get a professional manicure: they move quickly but only grind in one direction.) I think this may be the same on animals; a little observation will tell you which direction to go. So one less star if it's meant for cats, but in general it is a high quality item that I've had for a long time, with no evidence that it wears down or wasn't well-made, and works great for me.

The first time I used this on my golden it cracked into three pieces. I was just getting her used to it and was only lightly stroking the nail and it just snapped. Either it was poorly made or had some invisible defect but either way it's money thrown away. I've used this type of file on my own nails for years and always found then durable and easy to use. This particular file is a hazard as you definitely don't want broken glass around your dogs paws or your own hands. Update : The seller contacted me and offered to replace the broken file. I received a new one and will give it another try with my golden. One thing I Do know is that the same style of file I got from this company for my own use has been holding up well for quite a while. That file gets five stars. I originally gave this file one star but will up this rating to three stars for now because of the company standing behind it. Maybe five if it holds up to golden nails.

I got this for my havanese's toe nails. He freaks out from the clippers and the dremel so I thought I'd give a regular file a shot. He is very good with brushing and actually snoozes while I'm doing it so after he got nice and relaxed I started getting him used to having it touch his feet. It only took a few times and he lets me file every nail. It's going to take some time to get them as short as I want them but the grooved edge works great. A coarser grit would work faster but then it would be too rough when his nails get shorter so I'm fine with slow and steady. The flat side seems a lot smoother, I use it to get rid of any ragged edges. I'm happy with this and might buy one for myself lol

I've been using my own glass files to smooth edges after clipping my dog's nails. They tend to split & I was considering a dremel to speed up the process. I found this when purchasing more 'human' nail files & I just knew. This thing tears through my beagle's nails for a smooth easy finish. It's not as fast as clipping alone, or a dremel may be. The shape makes it faster than my previous routine & especially when used regularly. It's thick with a nice weight, operates smoothly, uses elbow grease(my preferred source of power) & takes up no space! My teenager also likes the beveled edge to round the edge of her own nails. There, multiple uses too! Lastly, my dog is wary of clipping but not scared, he does get impatient. When I use the file, it borders on attention, so I feel like he tolerates it;) Btw, Bonafide has great tools & after 5yrs in a 4 girl household, they still seem like new.

Used one time, halfway through the flat side became completely smooth and unlike manufacturers assurance in the Q&A, failed to actually file anything else once this occurred. Thankfully I’d bought a stainless steel file as well, and was able to finish the first pup plus complete the second pup with the stainless steel purchase. As of now, this file is completely useless to me.

I have an 80 lb lab who absolutely hates to have her nails trimmed. Pre covid, I would take her to the groomer and get her toenails dremmeled, but not now. I didn't know this, but dremmeling instead of clipping causes the quick to grow longer which makes it harder to clip . Not that my girl would ever let me near her with a clipper. But this glass file seems to work just fine for filing down the tips of her nails. I think doing a little of the nail every so often would get her back to a good size nail. And she actually seems to enjoy getting her nails filed! It's easy to use and easy to clean. Just have to be careful and gentle with it, because after all, it is glass. I'm glad I found this

Bonne lime, fait bien son job. Très étonnée et contente.

Si es sólo para pulir o limar poco las uñas está bien (aunque muy caro) pero sinceramente pensé que por el precio limaba más y para nada. Lo quería para no tener que cortarle las uñas a mi perra senior ya que se estresa mucho pero si lo utilizo para eso, me jubilaré antes de acabar. Tendré que comprar una lima eléctrica. Si lo queréis sólo para dar forma o limar lo mínimo, sí funciona. Sino buscar otra alternativa por qué no merece la pena

I am very happy with this file so far. My dog is a small miniature poodle, and this file is just the right size, or perhaps a tiny bit too big, for filing her nails. She tolerated it MUCH better than traditional metal file. It also worked a lot better for me than a metal file as it required less pressure to "bite" into the nail and left a nice smooth finish for relatively little effort. I also like how one side is flat and the other side has a carved curvature to the file, so shaping her nails is even easier. If you're used to a metal file or are thinking it'll work like your own glass finger nail file, expect there is a bit of a learning curve to using the product, but it's worth learning the slightly different technique!! Her nails don't leave little lines on my skin now when we play, yay!

Tolle Feile- mein Hund ist happy, somit ich auch
