Dremel 7020-PGK Pet Nail Grinder, Quiet Electric Dog Nail File Care Set with 4 Sanding Discs, Safe Alternative to Dog Nail Clippers and Trimmers ,Grey

Product Information

The stainless-steel blades make sharp cuts and the clippers are easy to hold onto, though you do have to apply a bit more force to make the cut. You will be able to hold the mandrel like a pencil with much more control, especially with a fidgety dog. In our tests we preferred to remove the sheath for maximum maneuverability, but if your dog is willing to sit still, the tidiness resulting from the sheath is a solid bonus.

Some pet professionals thought grinders’ safety factor made them the ideal choice, while others pointed to their noisiness as a reason to pass on them. Additionally, say you’ve just discovered Dremeling, and your dog has a longer quick area than he should. I had them to the vet recently and even though I have their nails clipped regularly when groomed they were very long.Even on low, the Dremel PawControl provides enough power to file down nails more efficiently than our previous pick, the Dremel 7300-PT, which offers 6,500 rpm on its lowest setting. For most dogs, nail trimming is a stressful event, so getting to the end of a successful pet pedicure is a real accomplishment. With the mandrel in place, you can press the sanding band down over the head of the mandrel, or attach a sanding disc using the spring-loaded EZ Lock. By gradually sanding away the nail bit-by-bit, you are less likely to cut the quick, which causes the nail to bleed.

The Wahl Professional Animal Premium Nail Filer and the FurryFido Pet Nail Grinder File (both no longer available) are the exact same grinder, just with different coloring (the Wahl is pink, the FurryFido is orange, and we saw other identical models from other manufacturers). I may be wrong, but in the first video it looked like you were going from bottom of nail up, and in 2nd video from top of nail down?

I am THRILLED that your little guy doesn’t mind the Dremel — isn’t it amazing how different it is compared to nail clipping? Definitely continue to keep it positive by giving him lots of little high-value treats every time you Dremel. The nail guard traps nail dust, makes it harder to accidentally sand a pup’s paw pads, and it ensures that first-time users are grinding at a 45-degree angle that matches the nail’s slant. In addition, the grinding band was slipping off the bit from the moment we turned it on, and the battery cover is absurdly difficult to pry open—you’re virtually guaranteed to hit the tool’s on button several times while trying to open it.

By gradually sanding the nail at a 45⁰ angle, you are in full control while trimming your pets’ nails. They can be washed under warm water, but be sure to dry them thoroughly before reattaching to your Dremel grinder. After watching your video several times, I am still a little confused exactly how I should be approaching the nail. Dremel recommends not exceeding 10,000 RPM, or the lowest setting on most rotary models, for pet grooming. After I apply it to the finished tips of his nails, I release him from my lap, and let him lick the last little bit of oil.The later model I just linked has 100% adjustability — the speed controller is a sliding scale that you can adjust perfectly to your liking! In testing, we found that the first two speeds, at 8,000 rpm and 14,000 rpm, respectively, offered enough power to grind most dogs’ nails.
