It’s a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dog’s nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremel’s cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pet’s nails without cutting. We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie who’s endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on. Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on. The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us. We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time. If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the ½-inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, it’s a tail-wagger. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste |

Works well . . . |
but my dog is terrified! It took several weeks of "peanut butter therapy" to get my beagle to relax around this thing. We still have to hold him and feed him when we want to do his nails (a two person job).
Product itself works well. Be ready to be patient if your dog fears small appliances. |

The sound is not the problem. |
|
OK so I'm not sure yet about this product. My dog is not afraid of the sound, which is great and surprising at the same time because she's afraid of a lot. However, I can't get the dremel close enough to her nails to even trim them. She's 60 pounds, so I can't do it alone. Still working on this one. |

Dremel Pet Grooming Tool |
|
I am not very satisfied with this product. We have determined that it is too much grinding to only use the tool on our dog's toe nails. Therefore, we are clipping first and then using the grooming tool to finish the process and smooth the nails. We have to be extremely careful or her hair gets caught in the spinning shaft (even when using the suggestion of covering her foot with a nylon stocking and allowing the nails to protrude). Our dog is small (12 pounds) and her toe nails are small enough that it is difficult to grind from their bottom side without touching hair or the pad of her foot. The dog allows the grinding but is not very happy about it. If I could have tried it first, I would not have purchased the tool. |

Just a Dremel |
It's just a dremel with an insert describing how to use it with pets. There's no guard to prevent one from dremeling too close to the quick.
If you already have a dremel, use that. Just let the pet get used to the noise, praise them, give them treats for staying calm near it. And once they don't react to it, dremel their nails being careful to not get close to the quick. The same way you'd do with any other nail trimming device.
If you don't have a dremel, you could get this one primarily to use on your pets, but you can still use it for any other dremelly purposes...so that's handy. |

Too Loud for a Manicure |
I purchased this with great hopes that this would solve the anxious time associated by triming the dog's nails. After following the prescribed method that came with the device and gradually introducing my Yorkie it just didn't work. She trembled for 20 minutes after just having it near her. If your dog is a bit nervous, this will not help. My Yorkie never wanted her nails clipped but this added noise and vibration and freaked her out!!! So I gave it to my daughter who has two larger dogs and also helps out at a dog rescue. So maybe she will get some good use out of it. Clipping dogs nails is just tough and I am disappointed that this wasn't the answer for us. Good luck!!!!
