Product Information

In the long debate of nail grinders vs. clippers, most pet owners have extreme opinions. Without intentionally stepping on any toes, here’s our humble opinion: How often you trim your pup’s nails depends on how active they are and the terrain that they play on. Generally, about once a week would suffice for regular nail trimming. If your dog plays on a rough surface all day, you might even get away with as little as once a month, although that’s the extreme case.

For more detailed instructions, you can consult the full user manual, which is available online and contains helpful diagrams. Keep in mind that Dremels are noisy, so do the same training to get them used to the noise levels. With a bit of patience, your pup won’t even notice the noise. This process is likely to take a bit longer for dogs that are noise sensitive. Even for pups with light-colored nails, grinding can be more comfortable. While clippers can pinch and tug, grinders don’t exert any pressure or twist. 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. Even for dogs that aren't typically timid, it will take some training to get them used to have a nail grinder pressing on their nails. Most dogs will warm up to the noise and the sensation of the grinder if you allow them some time to get used to it.Take regular breaks if you need to. This simplifies things for both you and your dog since the experience remains pleasant. If you hold the dog down or force him to stay while you trim his nails, the experience becomes traumatic, and you will probably have a real fight on your hands for the next trimming session.
