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

Rec’d product from Amazon quickly and in good order, as usual from them. Product looks sturdy enough, tho I haven’t had a chance to use it on my dog yet. Will reserve my review until then.
I bought this Dremel after filing my dogs nails for the last year and being tired of it taking so long. My breeder had recommended one but I had never considered purchasing one. I found this and bought itbefore reading the reviews and became very concerned afterI did that the battery would die. It was too late to cancel the order so I decided just to try it. I’m glad I did. I have a 14 lb terrier mix, and two 25lb french bulldogs. I did all of their front paws and the battery didn’t die or come close to it. They were a little hesitant at first but didn’t put up too much of a fight and quit fussing after the first few nails were done. I did get it caught in my hair though, so l would follow the directions and tie your hair back if it’s long!
This product does not work on High speed just Low speed. I tried rearanging the batteries but that did not help. The product does work for the porpose intended.
To any self proclaimed dumba**es out there such as my self who plan on using this to trim your dog’s nails:
Be careful when using this on dogs with long hair around their paws. The hair could tangle around the dremel and therefore pulling it out and causing the dog a lot of pain. I found this out the hard way when my dog got scared and tried to get away. While he was trying to get away and I was trying to keep a hold of him his hair got caught on the tool and pulled it out. While I was trying to “rescue him” and turn the thing off I ended up “sanding” down three of my fingers. By the look of one of my fingers you would of thought I had the saw attachment on it, not just the sand paper. Just make sure to be careful and put a sock on your dogs foot and poke the nail through. This will hopefully save you a couple layers of skin.
I have tried the product once on each dog, they both sit quietly and relax!! Wonderful item, prompt shipment by seller. Great price!
