Dremel 761-03 7,000/14,000 RPM Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool

I bought this item since I thought it would be a quick and painless way to cut my two indoor cat's nails. OMG...My first cat is a little skittish anyways and absolutely freaked out when I turned the Dremel on. It makes a lot of noise and my cat when nuts. My second cat is so laid back and not usually afraid of anything. I got one nail done before he went nuts. I couldn't get near them with this thing. It's too loud and not as easy to use as I thought. I'm going back to the clippers. They're quicker and less traumatic. Too bad I missed returning them back in time. Now I'm stuck with them. Maybe in a couple years I'll get a dog and be able to use them on it if I need to. What a waste of money.

I just ordered this tool last week and followed the tips of others (getting my dog used to the noise, giving her treats, only working for very short periods). Of course, the treats were "scarfed down" very quickly and then she wanted to quit.

The solution!! I lined a bowl with peanut butter! Not much, just enough to keep her busy for awhile. It allowed me to work longer & she didn't even care that I was playing with her feet. When the bowl was cleaned, we were both ready to quit. I'll do this every few days until her nails are perfectly trimmed.

Hope this works for you, too.

We adopted a puppy in September. Our older dog HATES having his nails trimmed so I decided to try the new "filing" method these drills offer. It took 2-3 days of exposing our puppy to the sound & vibration of the tool, but after that he allowed me to file his nails. It's quick and easy. Little fido even fell asleep one time while I was doing it!

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.
