does that nailclipper where it detects the quick actually work or is it a waste of money??

I have heard it is a complete waste of money.

Have considered dremeling your dog's nails? Really difficult to quick a dog with a dremel... just grind down the nails until you see the quick.

I have no idea about this new clipper, I really have my doubts, but as someone that clipped for decades and recently tried the dremel i've had for equally as long, go with the dremel. I love that thing.

Just starting using the dremel-its easier than clippers!

I agree with using the dremel. I can't see how those clippers would detect the quick? Plus some dogs nails are really sensitive where you may not clip the quick, but it hurts them if you get anywhere close to it!
