Coastal Pet Safari Dog Diamond Nail File – Diamond Finish for Smooth Nails – Removes Burs from Outdoor & Indoor Dogs – One Size

Perfect for my anxious dog
This product is perfect for filing down my dog’s nails so overgrown nails don’t hold him back. My dog is very anxious, so groomers, vets, and electric trimmers are not options for us. This works great without causing my dog stress.

sturdy and does the job
I have a schnauzer who is deathly afraid of getting her nails cut because they are black and curly. This is a nice alternative to anesthesia to get her nails done.

Works! but more for me.
the product is fine. if you are patient i’m sure you will file your dogs nails… this product will be good for a dog that doesn’t mind getting its nails/ feet touched. would not recommend for a dog that is more timid about nail trimmings!

Good File (for FINISHING Only!) – Solid construction, great ergonomics, reasonable price, & works well for small finishing tasks
Thus far, I am very satisfied with the Coastal Pet stainless steel Nail File. It was reasonably priced, it has good ergonomics that allows me to get good leverage and get the job done.MY NEEDS FOR A FILEI purchased this file for my rabbit. Rabbits have extremely tough nails that are extremely hard, and on bigger bunnies they are very thick. The same complications apply with larger dogs, so I generally purchase dog clippers for her. With extremely hard nails, I need a clipper that is sharp and can cut at a very precise angle (if it can’t, it will fracture/crack the nails, which is incredibly painful and a medical issue.) I have clippers that can do that, but the downside is it leaves a very, very, very sharp angle on the nail (more or less, a “bur.”). This can snag on carpet and result in serious injury. So a critical step in clipping her nails involved filing them to avoid that kind of situation. I have tried a lot of products including mechanical ones. To date, I find the easiest thing for my application is still a good manual file.PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONI have had luck with other products from the Coastal & Safari names so I figured it was a good choice. Measuring about 8 inches in overall length (with a file blade length of about 3.25 inches, a handle length of about 4.75 inches, and a tapering handle width of about 1.2 inches at its thickest point), this file is extremely lightweight. With a good-sized handle and a good-sized blade, the size makes this capable of handling nails of all sizes. The grip is an ergonomic rubberized grip and large enough so even larger hands can get leverage on it. The construction of the file itself is advertised as being a stainless steel head with diamonds, and the file itself is curved.As others have noted, this is a FINISHING file. It is nowhere near being coarse/aggressive enough to be used solely to upkeep nails (it would take hours to use it in this fashion.) It does not remove a lot of material as its primary purpose is to allow you to remove the sharp edges that occur from the usage of clippers, and leave a smooth edge after usage. (On a side note, if you DO want a product that can grind nails in place of having to cut them at all, Dremel makes a product for this and unlike the Peticure and other products, it is extremely effective & practical.)MY USAGE OF THIS PRODUCTFor my need of finishing cut nails to remove the sharp burs, this Coastal file has worked well for me. While I wish this was a little more aggressive, it has enough bite to do its job. I find the rubberized grip helps me attain more precision by reducing slipping, and by making the file itself curved that it reduces slipping. For the money, it gets the job done and it seems to be reasonably well made. I will update this listing in a few years on how well the file holds up after extended use, but as of now I am satisfied with this product and I recommend it to others.

Lime bien un peut fastidieu avec des griffe de berger allemand.

A mi perro le da pánico que le corte las uñas y es muy dificil cortarselas por lo mismo y porque las tiene muy gruesas. Conseguí una lima de las de baterías pero lo que hace mas bien es pulirle las uñas y no se las baja nada.Entonces decidí comprar esta lima, ya que ni con lija podía y ha resultado muy bien. Es un proceso un poco cansado pero si tienes paciencia y se las limas cada cierto tiempo, funciona muy bien. Me tardé como 5 minutos limandole la uña y conseguí bajársela a como está en la foto, la negra está tan larga como tenía la uña blanca antes (llevaba como 3 meses que no se las limaba).

Found it too coarse and was jumpy across the nail.
