Honestly, I was sceptical at first. My British Shorthair, Winston, turns into an absolute demon when it's time for nail trims. Tried this pouch after reading reviews and it's been a revelation. He stays calm, I can do one paw at a time without the wrestling match, and we're done in minutes. Also used it when he needed tablets after a dental procedure - so much easier than trying to wrap him in a towel! It's sturdy, well-made, and the material is lovely and soft. Worth every penny.
