Holding Your Pet:
- If your pet is not comfortable receiving a PiPawsTM picure (ter the previous introduction process), you may choose from one of the following sest approaches. Some people find it easiest to have the pet sit on your lap, while some prefer to have the pet lay on his or her side. You may decide to lay your pet on his or her back. Find a position that works best for both of you . BUT, If ter the introduction period your pet is still nervous around PiPawsTM, there is a position which works the best:
- 1. Lay your pet on his stomach and position yourself over your pet. Use your body weight and your arm rea ng over the top to control your pet as shown in Figure 1.
- 2. Begin the PiPawsTM picure according to the instructions.
- 3. If your pet resists or tries to squirm away, DO NOT ALLOW IT! The strling is only temporary. By letting your pet escape, you will reinforce this evasive behavior.
YOU ARE IN CHARGE!
The more assertive you are, the more comfortable your pet will become. This point is crucial: be assertive, hold your pet as describ above, and complete the picure.
NEVER LET HIM OR HER GO! Your pet will quickly realize that PiPawsTM is painless and will be calm by your assertiveness.

NOTE: Only use PiPawsTM on an animal you are familiar with. Do not put your sety at risk. If an animal becomes aggressive, stop using PiPawsTM immiately.
Trimming Your Pet’s Nails:
- Use PiPawsTM on a soft, comfortable spot a carpet floor, b or sofa.
- 1. Take your pet’s paw and support a single nail with your thumb and forefinger. This is essential. You must always support the nail before filing. See Figure 2.
- 2. Always make sure the orange protective cap is screw on securely before filing. Turn on PiPawsTM and insert a nail into the opening in the orange protective cap. Start gently filing the nail. File the nail for no more than 3 to 5 seconds at a time before alternating nails. Always alternate nails. This insures your pet does not experience any discomfort due to excessive friction. Always look at the nail ter every 3 to 5 second filing. This will insure you do not file too much. Over filing can result in injury to your pet. 3. Always file in a round motion to give the nails a smooth blunt feel.
- 4. File the upper part of the nail in addition to just the bottom; this is the secret to a good PiPawsTM picure. The top portion of the nail is where most of the growth occurs and is usually the sharpest part. File the nail little-by-little until it is round and smooth.
How Do I KnowWhen To Stop Filing?
- If this is your first time using PiPawsTM, be very careful not to file too much nail off. Be conservative: only round off sharp ges and obvious growths. As you and your pet become more comfortable with PiPawsTM, you may try to get closer to the quick. This is the inner part of the nail which contains nerves and a blood vessel. The reason traditional nail clipping can be so painful and bloody is because the clippers squeeze or cut through the quick. Between the hard enamel layer and the quick there is a softer leathery layer. Once you reach this layer you should stop filing. Looking at the nail from the front, you should be able to see the quick emerging from underneath the layers of enamel. Always remember to look at the nail ter every 3 to 5 second filing.
