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 -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

 My dog's nails are stronger than this product November 30, 2008

There was not enough power in the Dremel to groom our Golden Retriever's nails. Product was returned for a full refund.

My rather large lab has dark nails and has always hated having his nails trimmed. In fact, I couldn't do it without injuring him, so I have always taken him to his vet for nail trims at about $12 to $15 a pop. I bought this Dremel after reading reviews for the assortment of similar available products. Then I had the vet trim his nails so that I only have to maintain them. So far so good. The drill is not very noisy and is easy to hold and direct. The lowest setting is sufficient for maintenance. I tried it on my own nails and fingertips with no adverse effects. I think that it will be a real money saver in the long run if I just maintain rather than trying to grind down overgrown nails. The only drawback is that the sandpaper does not last long with my big dog's thick nails and should be replaced after only one heavy or two light sanding sessions, but that is probably best for sanitation anyway and may not apply to smaller pets.
it's for the birds November 29, 2008

we used it on our umbrella cockatoo for years- the little kitty cat nail trimmers were okay, but constantly either hit the quick or left his nails sharp- (not fun to have him climbing your afterward) we now use it on the dogs (2lb yorkie on up to 85 lb lab)
nice cause it is cordless ( we take it to the fairgrounds for touch ups on the goats hooves too) just have spare AA batteries around- we use the rechargeable ones and have never had a problem yet-
also does not seem to be as noisy as the dremel with the cord attached- nice touch for fearful dogs
oh and use it on the birds beaks too!!!

I feel like the Dremel causes my pet much less pain than clippers would but the length of time I have to keep her still to use the Dremel could be just as painful. They tell you not to press hard with the Dremel so therefore it takes quite awhile to trim one nail on my chocolate lab. I would recommend this product for small dog owners first.

While in theory this Dremel should work great, in reality it does not. I have 4 Golden Retrievers so finding a better way to trim nails was very important to me. Not only does it take FOREVER to trim the nails with the Dremel, it also chews up batteries. I used 2 sets (4 each) just to trim my 4 dogs. I didn't even get the nails as short as I wanted to and ended up using a standard nail trimmer and sand paper. If this tool was electric, then I think it wouldn't be too bad. It did trim the nails, but at a very, very slow rate. It really was a waste of money and my time.
