Great tool! Give your dog a chance to accept it :)

This does just what it's supposed to do. I'm not one of the lucky folks whose dog took to this right away, but with some time and effort my pup is coming around. I'm seeing a lot of reviews where this got returned because the dog involved hated the sound. Mine did too at first, but she's starting to love it. If your dog is nervous about nail trims, this likely isn't going to be a cure-all, but it is clearly way more comfortable for my dog than using clippers, and I'm not worried about quicking her black nails. I built up a positive association with the dremel by breaking the process into steps: -dog enjoys the sound of the dremel -dog accepts touching the base of the dremel to her shoulder while it's on (not the rotating part!) -dog accepts me holding her paw with dremel off -dog accepts me massaging her paw and focusing on her nail with dremel off -dog lets me hold her paw with dremel on -dog lets me focus on nail with dremel on -dog lets me touch spinning dremel to her nail for a microsecond -dog lets me slowly build up time spent on each nail For each step, I used lots of treats and at first gave her a treat every time I did the action. As she got comfortable, I'd take things to the next level a time or two, give her plenty of rewards, then mix it up with some of the easier levels. If she struggles or pulls away, I let her go, but she knows where the treats are and she always comes right back. She's still not totally comfortable with me handling her paws, but she wags her tail when I get the dremel out. I only do one paw per session, with lots of breaks. I make a "click" sound with my tongue when she does the thing I want (I use a clicker for a lot of training but managing dog paw + dremel + treats+ clicker is obviously a bit much). Even if your dog is terrified of the dremel at first, they will likely come round if you put some time in. Maintaining your dog's nails is really important for their posture and joint health. If you're having trouble getting your dog used to this or understanding what you're supposed to do, there are a lot of resources out there. I can't post links here, but the Nail Maintenance for Dogs Facebook group would be a good place to start.

LOVE IT and SOME TIPS For Users

The perfect dremel for ur pets. If you've never used one though, do ur research! Watch youtube videos. A few imp tips!! (1) If ur dog's coat around feet is long be VERY careful bc if the dremel gets caught in the fur it will wrap the fur so tight it may be impossible to get out. And your dog might start screaming and trying to get away and the dremel will get wrapped tighter. And then going to try and cut the fur away u can easily slice the skin. So either go slow, take your time and hold the fur away tightly from each nail or trim fur short. (2) If your dog has never been dremelled, go slow. Start with only a touch of the dremel on low to one or two nails for literally a split second on the first night. That's it. Don't try to discipline ur dog to submit for it. Will set up a bad feeling around it and some dog;s might start expressing their anal glands by accident out of so much fear. Take it easy with them. The sound and sensation of it on their nails can be very frightening to some dogs so go slowly at their pace. It may take u a week or two maybe three to build up their comfort with it, but its worth it. (3) only dremel the very tip of the nail. try not to dremel anythng underneath the nail but only the tip. Because if you move the dremel a 1/32 of an inch down towards the underneath you're going to possibly dremel the quick, the blood line. And it probably wont bleed but it will probably send streaks of heat and pain up thru his nail and he might not want u near his nails again. On youtube theres a user named MarineGeekWife, title of it is, 'How to Dremel a dog's nails' it's from 2012 and she has a lot of vids so ull have to search her page. She has a good video showing you where she is just dremelling the tips. If your dogs nails are long, dremel them every 5 days or so and eventually ull get the quick to recede and get them to a good length. A good length will be where they don't touch floor as they walk. (4) when u dremel the tip, it's the underside of the nail you want to try to stay away from bc that's where they'll feel it into their quick if the quick is close to the end of the nail. In her video she says, sometimes u have do the underside, be very thoughtful to try not to. If you're near the quick the dog will often pull his foot out of your hand trying to tell you ur too close and it's getting painful. although at first when youre trying to get them comfortable with the dremel, they will pull it away too. Even if it's the first time ur dremeling and u think ur dog is pulling his paw away bc he's nervous - - - - it might be a combination of the two. He might be very nervous BUT he might be feeling and sensing that u r really close to the quick and he's feeling some pain. If the nails are very long, the quick has probably grown out long too. If that's the case, just dremel a small bit off the tip and come back 5 days later and do another small bit. In no time you'll have it where u need it. Don't try to dremel the nail to the proper length all at once if its very long. it will be a disaster and if you open up the quick, even if it doesn't bleed u can set ur dog up for an infection if bacteria gets into it. ie a vet bill. And most importantly!!! As u dremel only hold it to the nail for NO More than maybe 4-5 seconds at a time. It gets hot for them really really fast. Woman will know how this is if youve ever had acrylics put on when acrylics first came out years and years ago. they would have to dremel down the top of ur nail and if they went too far ud feel the burn/heat under ur nail. Same here. Good luck! Highly recommend over clippers.

Best decision...

... I've made as a dog owner. I've had my dog Dixie since she was 5 (she is now 11). Ever since I adopted her the poor thing has had, what I like to call, her dragon claws. I have attempted for the past 6 years to get her nails trimmed and keep them short. Needless to say my dogs anxiety about nail trimming has been a constant road block for not only me (with at home trimming) but also over half a dozen groomers and even my vet. At one point my vet prescribed medication to sedate Dixie before nail trimmings; it didn't work. Just before Christmas I happened to be surfing the pet supply section of Amazon when I came across this magical device. I will say that the first time it was a bit of a fight to get the job done. But with lots of persistence(and loads of treats) we were able to manicure her crazy paws. The picture reflects her nails after our third session. I would recommend this product any day of the week. Not just because it works so wonderfully but because my dog seems 100000% more comfortable and that means the world to me.

Two paws up

Works soooo well. I was apprehensive because I figured it would take forever to file dog nails. Surprisingly this dremel makes quick work of their nails. Yes, it does take longer than just cutting them, however it is worth it. I had anxiety about cutting their nails ever since a cut the quick. This relieves this fear. I am more relaxed which means the dogs are too. The vibrations are minimal as long as you hold the individual nail you are working on. It was a fast adjustment for the dogs to get used to this tool as long as you give out treats and show them it is not hurting them. My biggest tip would be to wear safety glasses though! I did get a shard kicked up into my eye and it hurt a lot and I had to flush my eye with water for awhile. Since then I do wear safety glasses and a mask because it does create some dust and I have allergies. Overall highly recommended!

Good product makes for a happy owner and a happy dog

I purchased the short-lived previous version of this product, Dremel 765-01 Pet Nail Grooming Kit, and liked it so much that I bought the Dremel 7300-PT for friends. There are two differences between the 765 and the 7300- the casing of the 73000 is gray, and Amazon charges $29, rather than $32. The newest version of Dremel's Pet Nail sander is well worth the money. It has changed what was previously a tortuous experience into something quick and easy. I did some research before buying the 765 and 7300, and ended up choosing these over other products for several reasons. PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmer- Several friends had bad experiences with it, generally finding it to be of poor quality. Dremel 7700-02 MultiPro 7.2-Volt 20,000 RPM Two-Speed Rotary Tool with 50 Accessories- Although this is more powerful, it is also more expensive, heavier, larger, and louder, which would make it difficult to use on my nervous pet. Dremel 761-03 Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool- This is the older version of the 765; the primary difference is that this required AA batteries. Because several people complained about having battery problems I decided to go with the updated version. I made the right choice! I have a large pitbull who has dark nails, hates having anything done to her feet, has very long quicks that are fast to bleed and slow to stop, and wiggles and refuses to stay still when she is nervous. I have tried clipping her nails, filing her nails, and even taking her on long runs on rough ground to wear them down. This is by far the best solution. I began by letting her see and smell the sander, and then running it over her body and feet with the power off. I then turned it on and held it away from her, again letting her hear, see, and smell it. I had treats at the ready, but she was fine. I held it near her for several minutes while on, and then touched the non-sanding end to her body so that she could feel the vibration. No problems. In fact she bent down to smell it, and pinned the sanding band between her face and my hand. We both jumped, but no pain or damage to either of us. Although I was prepared to stop if she got tired or nervous, she was so good that I was able to do all four paws. It took about 15 minutes, but with lots of "good girl" and belly rubs interspersed she was fine. The sander itself is relatively small and light, making it easy to hold even for long periods. It is easy to put together; it comes with a small wrench to put new sanding bands on. Unlike its predecessor it comes with a rechargeable battery and charger. When sanding, even on high, it is fairly quiet and vibrations are minimal. The body of the sander was warming a bit after 15 minutes, but I noticed no heat in either my dog's nails or the sanding band. In addition the battery was still going strong. My sole complaint about this product is minor; the LED light on the charger lights up to indicate a connection between the battery and the charger, but doesn't change color or go off to indicate when charging is complete. The instruction book indicates that a full charge should take approximately 3 hours, so that's what I've gone with. I had to recharge it after about the fourth or fifth use. I gave the Dremel 7300 to a friend, and she's used it on her two German Sherpherds and her cat, with similar success This is a great product for nervous animals and/or owners, as it's almost impossible to do damage with, and allows easy care for an oft-neglected aspect of your pet's health. **Update 10/19/11: After about a year of ownership the Dremel is still my go-to tool for trimming my dog's nails. My only complaint is that the battery is not holding its charge nearly as well as it originally did. With one full charge I can usually get through a full sanding on all four feet, however by the end the power is running low, and I don't doubt that soon I won't be able to do all four feet at once. Despite this drawback I still highly recommend the dremel for those who want an alternative to clipping their pet's nails, and when the battery on mine dies for good I will definitely be investing in a new one. **Update 2/16/12: The battery continued to get worse, so on a whim I called dremmel. Apparently there is a 2 year warrenty on this sander, so I mailed in the sander, battery, and charger for them to test. I was a bit nervous about just sending it off, but about a week later they sent everything back with a new battery and it's working great.

He hated it, I hated it

I just adopted my beagle about 8 months ago, and have been struggling with cutting his nails. He hated it, I hated it. I could not bring myself to spend $10 for someone to do something that I had the tools for. So my dog suffered, I suffered...for 8 months! Until, I decided to just give up because they were getting ridiculously long and I took him to Petsmart. I figured that I would watch Petsmart cut his nails 2-3 times and waste $30 watching them do it until I learned it. Then I discovered that they grind nails. Whoaaaa! I was like, what is a grinder? The Petsmart lady pulled this nifty little gadget out of her dog nail supply bucket and I took pictures of it. It was really easy to find here on Amazon. I think hers was the 7700, but this one is $20 cheaper. I have been using it for several weeks and cutting his nails is actually kind of fun now. He is a bit scared of it, but I think he will get used to it. It smooths out his nails and files them away. I don't think I'm ever going to have to go back to the nail scissor with this thing. It has also held on one charge for several weeks, I have yet to recharge. INCREDIBLE! The cat does not like the sound, otherwise I would have used it on the cat as well.

REAL LIFE CHANGER FOR ME AND MY BIG BOY!!!!

I have bought over 70 different products from Amazon during the year 2017, and while some have been good purchases and I was satisfied, there has not been 1 that has made such a major impact on my life and the life of my dog to the point I just had to write a review and. 5 star review at that. I have a 7 y/o Boxer/Mastiff who makes the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz look like the most courageous creature on earth. Well before he visited the Wizard (Lol). Nail trimming was one of those things that caused great anxiety, for him and me. It had gotten to the point that the vet could only trim them when he was sedated for some other procedure. I had purchased Pedi Paws, which just was not powerful enough because his nails are very thick. My dog weighs approximately 105 lbs. He was actually on Prozac for awhile for his anxiety which causes his fear aggression, but it didn’t feel right giving my baby drugs, even though it really didn’t seem to help a lot, and we were told it could actually make him more aggressive. So what to do, what to do. At this point in November I was really getting concerned because his nails had grown so long I could tell it was uncomfortable for him walking, especially on our hardwood floors. When I saw the Dremel and read the reviews I decided to spend the money and hope it didn’t end up in the “wasted money spent on Bucky” pile. Boy was I elated!!!!! He was already kind of ok with the sound because I had slowly introduced him to it with the Pedi Paws by letting him hear it running on low and just rubbing it on his feet and legs and body, then just doing small incremental grinding. The pedipaws would maybe be good for small dogs with little nails but the Buckster needed more power and the Dremel delivered. I have him on our bed laying down with his paws in front of him and I kneel in front. The grip of the dremel makes it comfortable to hold and I’ve been able to get his nails down to a good length only using low speed. His nails are all white except 2 that are black so seeing the quick is easy. I am very very careful to not grind for more that about 3 seconds before moving on and alternating between the nails. I know that the trust I’ve gained from him will be lost if I ever cause him discomfort and that would be sad. I have to talk to him throughout the whole procedure praising and telling him about playtime when he keeps his paws still. When he has had enough he lets me know and I don’t push him. I didn’t initially try to get them all down the first day. It was done over about a week, but now we spend about 10 mins during our quiet time on the bed just for maintenance and it is WONDERFUL. With the Buckster it’s like the tortoise and the Hare, it’s slow and steady, but we get there eventually.

Two thumbs/paws up for this Dremel!

Love it! Was tired of paying $15 for nail trims at our vet's office. I had a groomer friend teach me a few tricks with the dremel and then we were good to go! The first couple times I turned on the Dremel, I did not use it on my dog's nails. I put it close to her turned it on and gave her a treat. A few days later we started actually using it and she got a small treat after each paw was done. I love that my girl can now run more comfortably and that her nails no longer make tons of noise on my wood floors! I did not have issues putting it together and it holds a charge well!

Great result

I have never done my dogs' nails before, mostly because the quick was way too long and I was afraid to cut it. But I recently learned that the quick recedes eventually if you keep cutting the nails. So I searched for clippers and found a dremel instead. It works great. My dogs were little afraid of it but after lots of praising and lot of treats they let me do it. Still, it was a struggle; probably because we have never done it before. I am hoping with time they will get used to it. I will definitely recommend this to friends and family. I attached a before and after picture. Again, I couldn't trim it too short just yet because the quick is long. I am gonna do it once a week and see if it will get shorter with time.
