Does this trim the nail very fast? This is key with my dog as she won't sit still very long, it's either this or a Dremel?

This has 2 speeds but I use a dremel bit and is much easier than one that comes with it but like the guard so I don't hurt my dog. I have never done a dog's claws was nervous about it now it's not a deal for me or my dog
1108024
It certainly does! I find it does better without the guard for me. I turned it on and showed it to him a few times for a day or two so he wouldn't be afraid. Now he's ok with it. It is so much easier than clippers. I would highly recommend this product.

No. It sucks. It doesn't work at all. The motor is not powerful enough. It's a cheap pproduct I did not return it because I threw it in the trash. I should have bought a Dremel.

I have both. Bought Dremel first. Went out of town and needed a nail grinder and to avoid having two of the same, purchased the Nail Junky. They are comparable in speed. Dremel has rechargeable battery. Junky uses AA batteries. One advantage of Junky is having a plastic cover that protects user from inhaling the flying nail dust.

Why on earth would ANYONE use a rotary tool to trim their dog's nails?? USE CLIPPERS. Or better yet, walk your flippin dog every day, the sidewalk is the best nail trimmer you can think of. Walk your dog every day, you NEVER have to trim their nails. I have watched the look on dogs faces while their owners tried to trim their nails with a dremel. It is HORRIBLE. The dog doesn't know what a dremel is, or that you are trimming their nails. They view it as a medieval torture device, which is basically IS to a dog. It is TERRIFYING to them. People who trim their dogs' nails with a rotary device are horrible, lazy, selfish dog owners, PERIOD. Why on earth would ANYONE use a rotary tool to trim their dog's nails?? USE CLIPPERS.

I wish I could give you more information, but I only use it to trim dog nails. I do know the bits are ridiculously difficult to change out. I've also tried the smallest electric (with cord) dremel available and found that changing bits is a lot easier with that one.

I just purchased this dremel as in my move, I have lost the one I had which worked great. My old one came in a Blue canvas carrying case but I do not know which one the dremel was. I am looking for one that is like it. It was cordless and variable speed. The 7700-1/15 does not have enough power to do the dog's nails and it takes forever to do one dog. Can any one help figure out which dremel is like my old one?

Absolutely. It has the variable speed and my dog has very strong thick nails and I think it could handle your dogs nails if done on a regular basis.

Yes. You have to unscrew the black protective ring that is on the end of the trimmer and your nail guard will screw on where you removed this black ring. Hope this helps. I use this on my yellow lab and he really doesnt mind it at all....as long as there is a treat afterwards!

Yes - great. Use the long pen-like attachment for my little ankle-biters. Just a note - use only for 2-4 seconds per nail! It gets VERY HOT and the quick reacts badly to the heat. Overall, it's easy, quieter and with time, the dogs are less freaky.

Yes, if you can loosen the screw. I could not so I used a butterknife and hammer to adjust ever so slightly. Otherwise I like the fact that I cannot over trim my pets nails. Works well.

Yes, although it takes time at least for my Golden Retriever to get used to the motor sound and most dogs are nervous about their feet and nails. Patience and short sessions? BTW, I more often us this B&D; on my toe nails when my large nail cutter can't do it. One last thought, I bought an extra large dog nail cutter with extra leverage and just do a few nails at a time. It is much faster if you have the leverage to get through with one squeeze. Then use the B&D; to smooth the cut edges?

Just a quick note. When doing dogs toenails the speed(hi or low) depends on type of dog. I have rotties and I use hi because the adult dogs have good sized tough toenails. I started new puppy at 4 months using low gently stopping every so often to give treats and praise. Have used it 3 times gently with cookies and she is o.k. Doesn't struggle but she is really smart and food driven. Some of the bigger dogs that didn't get started young still are less accepting but with gentle introduction and(hopefully) extra pair of hands when you start for the first few times they get used to it. If you have a small dog with less tough toenails use the low setting. I am still on low with puppy now 5 months.I never cut toenails any more just dremel about once a month depending how fast nails grow. I also try to get dog up on the bed or couch to save my back as it's easier than bending over. Puppy is still lifted up into high kitchen chair at 50 #. Be careful not to p,ress hard and long on high because heat is generated causing discomfort to dog. Try working on nail sideways from right to left or vice versa. Less heat than frontal attack.

We use the standard Dremel style sanding drum to trim dogs' nails- haven't tried it on humans.

Thanks Patricia. I was going to use this for trimming my dogs hard as rock nails. He is very squeamish when it comes to getting his nails clipped, thought this might work a little better. My Brittany just sits there and soaks up the attention but my GSP can't stand to have anyone touch his nails, any thoughts? Grant

I am using the brown sanding belt attachment that came in the kit. I believe there are three or so of those. Beginning on a low speed, after the dog adjusts, I can use the higher revolution for quicker trimming. Also, use some pressure against the nail and it works so much faster. Just beware the paw hair!!!

Yes, just give you dog some Peanut butter on a spoon it occupies them while you are trimming their nails but if they get fussy let it go and come back at a later date. You must trim a very small amount 1/16" or 1/8" at a time to Be Sure and Do Not Cut into the Quick. If you do cut into the Quick you need something like Kwik Stop Powder to stop the bleeding, also your dog will not like you for a little while. You can find the Quick by looking at the underside of the dogs nail to see where the nail meets flesh. It would be like cutting the tip of your finger so please be careful. As for the trimmers there are two sizes small and large I have both and they are great. Enjoy CWN

I don't know anything about big dogs. But I will say this, I had to take the guard off to use it on my little dog. Its the only way to get to the nail properly. If you let the nail get too long you still have to clip first.

They seem to have an issue with the battery - we have 2 dogs, and the battery barely lasts long enough to trim their nails. But, I have to admit that they are able to handle the trimming better with using the Peticure than the old method with the clippers. So, to answer your question, I would say, "yes."

Since it's just a regular dremel tool there is no special attachment for doing your dog's nails. However, we just used the sanding tool that comes with it and it works great! Hopefully this helps.
