1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT Buy this product!, January 8, 2010

Petco and Amazon should pull this product and refuse to sell it. The company's suggestion that you quick your dog in order to obtain a blood sample is not only tantamount to cruelty but it is guaranteed to make sure your dog becomes fearful and potentially aggressive about having their feet and nails handled in the future. It is completely despicable for anyone to suggest this procedure. Do NOT ever quick your dog on purpose. If you want a blood sample, get someone who is properly trained to draw it from the leg with a syringe. That is far less painful and stressful for everyone.

Any company or product that even suggests getting a blood sample from a nail trim must be NUTS! How painful! Shame on you. It is much less painful and invasive to have blood drawn thru the vein by a professional. Even if these tests come back positive you will still need to spend the time and money to get treatment (again) through a professional. These products are a total waste.

Are the instructions serious? Anyone who has accidentally trimmed their dogs nail to short knows that it's very painful for the dog! Also, they can bleed like crazy and become infected if not treated properly. What a crazy idea. It's like cutting the tip of your own finger off to get a blood sample!
