Product Information

To put that into perspective, a standard electric toothbrush is around 50 – 60 decibels, so if you can brush your teeth around your dog, you can use this nail grinder. So what’s the consensus between a dog nail grinder vs clippers? It really comes down to you and your pup. Some dogs won’t go near a grinder because of the noise, and a grinder takes much longer to do the job than a simple clipper.

Rather than cutting the nail, a canine nail grinder will grind away at the nail with a high-speed, rounded grinder that uses a material similar to sandpaper. Pros and Cons of Using a Dog Nail Grinder Turn On The Tool: Before turning on the grinder, show it to your dog and allow them to become familiar with the noise and vibrations. Does your grinder need to be plugged in constantly? That’s something to think about, especially if you like to travel with your dogs. If you spend lots of time away from home, it’s important to take battery life into consideration so you don’t end up unable to clip your dog’s nails while away from home. Introduce your dog to the grinder in small increments (and with plenty of treats and praise at every step). Dog nail grinders are grooming tools that serve as an alternative nail-cutting solution for dogs that aren’t big fans of clippers.We can’t verify that the battery lasts for 6 hours as the manufacturer claims, but it certainly holds a charge long enough to grind the nails of multiple dogs at a time. We used the FURminator on our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It’s plenty powerful for just using AA batteries but wish it was re-charable. The light helps you see the nail better as not to trim too short. The guard has an extra safety precaution. It came with a spare band too. It’s not as good of a job as what they do at the vet, but it at least helps hold you over between trips to the groomer.” – Sadie Cornelius, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent PawPerfect By Bell+Howell Pet Nail Rotating File Review It's best to stop when the pointed end of the nail is gone. Although the Dremel Pet Nail Grooming Tool does take some of the guess work out of trimming your dog's nails, but it's still possible to cause Fido some pain.

Nail grinders for pets will either have a cord to plug in or be battery-operated. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type. For example, cordless nail grinders are easier to maneuver, but you must remember to charge them sufficiently prior to use. Corded nail grinders can be used anytime with no need for charging, but you’ll be tethered to an electrical outlet while you work on the animal. To offset this problem, it helps to seek out an extra long cord on your nail grinder. With your dominant hand, hold your Dremel the way you would a golf club or tennis racquet. Hold your dog's paw in your other hand, then press gently on the pad of your dog's paw to press the nail out for easier access. You're ready to turn on the grinder.Please note: If you have a very timid dog, he may not ever allow you to use the Dremel because of the noise that it makes. If you’ve ever trimmed your nails in a rush, you’ll know it hurts to cut the nail plate too close to the nail bed, as the latter holds sensitive nerve endings. The white part doesn’t contain any nerve endings, but the fleshy underside holds the blood supply to nourish the nails.
