It’s a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dog’s nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremel’s cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pet’s nails without cutting.

We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie who’s endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on.

Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on.

The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us.

We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time.

If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the ½-inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, it’s a tail-wagger. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Great for my doggies
This product works just as described. My dogs usually run from me when I approach them with the nail clipper; but they really don't seem to mind this tool. It's really a good idea and their nails are nice and smooth when I finish. I highly recommend.

Not so good
Not what I was expecting, my dogs are scared to death of it because it vibrates to much. I held it on the toenail and didn't see any effect. It tells you not to hold it for more than 3 seconds because the toenail will get hot. Scary Item!!!

No thanks
High speed didn't work. Not worth the money. Doesn't go fast enough to cut any thickness of nails.

Nail trimmer
This works pretty good. My dog was a bit nervous at first but soon realized it wasn't trying to eat her feet. it was a bit messy and you get covered with nail "powder" from grinding the nail. I have a large american bulldog with black nails so I would say it may work better on a dog with finer nails to get through. Although, I think she would rather have me use this than a conventional trimmer which she HATES. It takes a bit more time but with practice, you can really customize the trim. Added bonus is no sharp edges left like a regular trimmer.

Don't buy!
We have a medium size dog, and this tool didn't even get through 1 nail before the batteries ran down. I used rechargeable batteries as suggested by other owners, but that didn't help. We ended up cutting her nails with our old clippers. Don't waste your money!
