Dremel PawControl 7760-PGK Dog Nail Grinder and Trimmer - Cordless & Rechargeable Pet Grooming Tool Kit - Safe and Humane for Dogs, Cats, and Small Animals

We have used this for a few years now and because of a non replaceable battery it finally is being replaced. *NOTE - That said, I highly recommend not leaving this plugged in for over 1 days to recharge. I believe that is why it stopped so soon.Here is info you need to choose the tool right for you pups!•Dog Sizes: We use this for our 2 dogs:(Medium/Large Size) Black Lab & Border Collie Mix,(Small Size) Chihuahua•Sound: It's a little noisy because it's grinding nails, but that said, it is gentler because the quick doesn't get squished/squeezed like when nails are clipped.•Get Dog Used To Tool: This is a new item to your dog and it has both sensations and sounds that they are not used to. So follow guidelines in instructions to get them used to the device before actually using it to grind their nails. Funny thing is that my big dog is fine with loud noises, but he is uncomfortable with how the vibrations feel. It took him a few weeks to get used to it. If I wait too long in-between grindings, he pulls his paws away to rebel for a little bit. Then I show him the regular clipper and he lays back and lets me get 1/3 of his nails trimmed. Lol!My little dog likes it because she hates the big squeezing feeling when clipping her nails. She tells me no at first - she doesn't like her paws touched, but then she just chills. She is silly and sweet. Lol!• Directions: The directions are great for this product! Follow them and you will have content pups and very good results!• Tools Necessary: We use this grinder for our dogs and it came with everything that I believe is useful for the safe removal of their nails. Example. If your dog pulls or moves his paws while grinding, there's a safety cover that helps to keep the parts you are not using from cutting your dog by accident. The cap is clear plastic so I can see what I'm doing and to know when to shake out ground up nail powder. It can smell bad if you go to fast. **So take breaks so your dog's quick/paw doesn't get hot and uncomfortable. And there are a few different speeds to choose from in order to go as slow as necessary for little dog nails and quicker for thick longer, big dog nails. Also there's a drum and a flat disc. Use the one that you are comfortable using, to grind using different methods. There are a lot of videos out there that give all kinds of advice. Go with what is good for your dog's needs and your dexterity level and patience. And patience is key. This is not a contest. It's a way to take care of your pup and save money and time!• Battery Life/Capacity:.This seems to hold a decent charge. Now I never have tried to get both dogs nails all ground down in one sitting. My back and my husband's back just don't last that long anymore. Lol! So we can get our little dog done in one sitting and still have a charge to start on my big dog's nails. Besides he only has enough patience to let us use it long enough to get about one and a half of his paws done. And then it starts to slow down. So now we start with our big dog that needs a higher speed and a longer time to get one to two paws done. Then we can do our little dogs nails and finish.• Heating Up : This is a grinder. It's a machine that spins a disc and deals with friction, so it heats up! That said, it's perfectly normal for this to happen. It doesn't heat up the motor when we do our little pup's nails. But the resistance and amount of time required to grind our big pup's nails heats things up. So take breaks and give your pup some treats and positive attention. The machine cools off in a few minutes and then we resume grinding.Final ThoughtsSo longevity has been good! And function is excellent. Just follow great instructions in the users manual! The quality has been great! The ease of use took a little time because I had never used a grinder before. But my husband found it easy to use. I figured out how to get the dogs used to the sound and slowly get our big chicken, I mean dog used to the vibration. Looking back I was worried, but everything turned out fine. My husband had good info on how to hold and position the tool to each dog's nails, so as to grind the right amount and the desired shape. Yeah teamwork!So all the above to say that we Highly Recommend this product! And we believe you and your pups (mattering their disposition), will finally think getting their nails trimmed is not so bad. The price is fair. Life is about time verses money, so This Saves Money as Compared To getting your dog's nails Professionally Trimmed, even at a local pet supply store. We had a good experience with our relatively chilled and relaxed dogs. I hope my review helps you choose what is right for you and your pup! But to be clear... We Highly Recommend This Dog Nail Grinder!

This is great. I bought one before this just one of those mail trimmers with the diamond grinder it was a joke after getting this one I now see how bad the other one was. This is like a professional groomer tool. This has power and grinds the mail so fast it’s great. With my old one I had to do one nail forever this takes seconds and your done. So much better quality this is a solid tool with a little weight to it witch is good. It’s wireless and rechargeable but that doesn’t effect the strength and speed because it works super good. I absolutely love it and wish it was my first buy. Now I tell people about it so they don’t make the same mistake. It works really well and grinds the nails super quick ( please remember when cutting your dogs nails that these heat up and the heat goes to the nail so please if your doing your dogs nails please remember to grind for a second and then take a break so it doesn’t heat up and hurt or burn them witch makes them pull away. You could stop for a min or goto the next nail and then go back to it cause it gets hot in seconds).I definitely recommend this dremel for anyone. I don’t always do my dogs nails I take him to the groomer because I don’t feel safe getting down low on the nail but grinder makes it so much easier for me to keep them shorter in between the groomer since they grow fast. This grinder grinds the mail right back down so fast and I feel much safer to grains gradually instead of cutting. This was definitely a great purchase. Also if you have a dog that doesn’t like there nails done the one and two speed is pretty quiet and it’s so quick that you can get it done quicker and less stress in your pup. It comes with a few disks and pieces to get you started so you can see what works best for you. The sanding disks hold up or last pretty good to.All around great tool

Very quiet and effective. My dogs hate having their feet touched at all, let alone having their nails trimmed. This makes things a bit easier. Very high quality and clearly durable. Multiple speed and attachments. Seems very professional from the perspective of a non-professional dog groomer.

We have a dog with very dark nails, so it's impossible for my untrained eyes to know how far up to trim with a clipper before hitting the quick and causing bleeding and pain. A groomer suggested this instead, and it's wonderful. It works great and takes the nail down a just small bit at a time so I have real control of what's happening.I rated it as 3 stars for easy to use, because there was a learning curve. Things go much better if you:1. Let the dog see and sniff it for a few times. I just put it on the floor and let her investigate it2. Repeat number 1 with it running so they recognize the sounds3. Be sure that there is no hair near the nail that could get snagged - I just trim with a scissors first4. Start out with just one paw, and just a few seconds on each nail so the session gets done quickly5. Do another paw another day and don't try to get to final length in the beginning sessions5. Don't grind on any one nail for more than a few seconds - you can move on and then come back to it6. Don't press too hard - let the abrasive do the work7. Don't use the lowest speed - I thought that would be best, but it takes too long to make progress8. Have lots of small treats a praise ready - I think the feel the vibration and have to get used to it.Once I figured these things out, it was great. Now I would rate the easy of use category as a 5Some of these points are in the instructions, but I had to learn it for myself. I've never hurt her with it and her nails are easily kept short. I still give treats and praise, however.
