The best option for trimming your pet's nails!

I absolutely love my Dremel! I have a 20lb pug who HATES going to the groomers to get his nails cut (can't say I blame him!). My mother-in-law breeds labs and she swears by the Dremel, but I had my doubts. After doing my homework on the safety of using a rotary tool to cut nails (according to many, grinding nails is actually less painful if the quick is cut, and it bleeds less), I chose this model because a) it's cordless and b) has a rechargeable battery.

My dog's nails were quite long when I first used the tool - so I definitely hit the quick on a few of them. It didn't seem to hurt him a lot, just seemed like it stung for a second, and they didn't bleed at all. I did his nails in stages over a period of a few days, he's not scared of the tool, nor the noise it makes when it is on, but if you have a dog who is skiddish, this may not be the option for you. Also, it takes some wrangling and determination to do this - my dog squirms and scratches. But after awhile he just gives up, which is when I'm able to really make progress.

I'm confident now that his nails are at a point where he'll just need maintenance once a week or so, he'll get very comfortable with the process and it will be a piece of cake. I love the fact that I'm able to easily maintain his nails (I was never comfortable cutting them myself) and I know that he's not in any pain. It's so imporatant to keep your pet's nails trimmed, and the Dremel allows you to do that safely and easily! Plus, at $20 a pop at the local pet store to get his nails cut - the Dremel has already paid for itself!

Pros: Cordless, Rechargeable Battery, Battery lasts a looong time before needing to recharge, 2 speeds (use the low setting for nails), light weight, easy to hold.

Cons: None!

Great for Dobermans nails.

i got this for the sole purpose of sanding down my dogs nails. He's a doberman, so he has very big nails, and they've gotten quite long due to a "shy" vet tech that wouldn't touch them. She finally told me i should file his nails till we got the quick to move back. Well its not easy find a file big or strong enough for these nails. So i turned to this. After looking at the more expensive ones you see on tv, with the little shield on it, i thought i was gonna have to pay a fortune for one. But i saw this dremel and decided to try it. It stays powered up for the longest time, i've used it for 4 5-10 minute sessions, and am just now recharging. Also its very quiet. The only thing i can think to compare it to, noise wise, would be "personal toys" and this is quieter than most of those. My dog is very flinchy, and doesn't like a lot of things, but he didn't budge when i turned this on. Also the sanding peices it came with seem to be holding up very well. I would buy this again anytime. One thing i would say, is make sure you read how to use one of these on your dog, so you don't hurt them. i read an article by DoberDawn. It was a great help.

The only way to do a dog's nails!

I have six chihuahuas and this is the only way to groom their nails. I have ordered a second Dremel Minimite for a backup and the price on Amazon is outstanding. A single charge lasts more than enough to do all six dogs and is easy to maneuver. When I first introduced the Dremel to my dogs, I did a tiny bit everyday for a week, mostly to get them used to it. Since they know I'm the boss, they submitted with very little objection. (The secret is to exude calm confidence. They don't know you haven't done this before!) Afterwards, I would reward them with their favorite treat: a tiny piece of chicken or turkey with cream cheese! Everyone gets a treat after every "manicure". (This keeps them hanging around for their turn.) Once I got their nails in line, it's done as maintainence about every two weeks and grinding makes it very quick. Now when they see me fixing the plate of treats, most of them will actually jump into my lap to be the first to have their nails done! I feel so much better knowing I have virtually eliminated the risk of injury to their tiny feet. I would absolutely recommend the Dremel Minimite, especially for small dogs/animals and Amazon always has the best prices and delivery.

Great Little Tool!

Bought the Dremel to grind down the dogs' nails. Does a fantastic job -altough one dog would not let me do his nails - but that's not the Dremel's fault! :) I'm very happy with this purchase!

Used for Dog nails

I bought this product to do the nails of my 7 month old collie. Since I had snipped the quick the last time I used the clippers I was not a fan of that method. The place I use for doggie daycare uses the Dremel for nails so I thought I could try it. The product does work very well on the nails. I did find I had to put a more pressure than I thought I would have to in order to to get a good file. There really is no fear of hitting the quick w/ the Dremel. According to the guy at the daycare even if you do hit it, it's nothing like when you do w/ the clippers.
