Using Dremel Tool for Dog Nail Trimming

March 31, 2006

A rotary tool with an attachment.For those of us who are afraid to use the nail clippers on our pets, I've discovered that using a Dremel sanding tool is quick and easy. The noise is minimal and you can sand both sides of the nail before aiming toward the quick. It's also chargeable so there's no cord to get in the way.

My old dog is almost 18 and he doesn't mind this nearly as much as the clippers. I can always sand just a little one week and the next head for more, if I feel brave.

Just be careful to not hold the grinder in one place for too long, the nail gets too hot and is painful for the dog.

My dog is a large breed with very large and tough nails. This was a most unpleasant task until I discovered a Dremel tool! I used the larger grade sanding wheel for my dogs nail size and thickness.

Just tap the tips. She likes this better than using the nail clippers. I was always afraid of cutting her nails too short.
