I suppose you could, but the noise is probably going to scare it.Unless you are really experienced, I'd advise against it. Get old fashioned clippers...safer and quieter.

Not unless you can control it better than I can. Was cutting sheetrock w/attachment&it; moved too much. Put cutting attachment on but haven't used it yet. Wouldn't use it on my dogs.

There's a tool for that purpose, that's safe - you stick their caw through a hole ensuring you don't sand their pads and hurt them . Google it

I have two black German Shepherd dogs with thick black nails and the safari professional pet nail trimmer cuts through all of their nails without any problems. This is a very strong and very sharp nail trimmer.

Yes. found it works very well on my one dog that has very large nails. Cuts easily and gets the job done quickly.

dogs usually have very thick nails - i wouldn't recommend using these clippers on one.

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?

Unfortunately I have no clue. I bought these to trim my dogs' nails and they are perfect for that. I hope someone else can help you.

I don't think it is a good idea to use for pet trimming, this clipper is good for short and close hair only, very quiet and smooth but if you are looking for a powerful one this is NOT the the right one for you. It is not hurt to try on your pet hair once.

Oh no, this blade is super sharp and I would never use these trimmers on a dog's nails. You could do serious damage because they are not arched to fit a dog claw. P.S I am a nail tech and I use a dremmel file on low while holding each claw very firm to prevent vibration. Make sure the dremmel file is spinning upward/outward and start with a little off every week. I have my boyfriend hold our beagles while we do this. There is also a "pedi paw" you can get and that works ok but I prefer the dremmel tool because it is electric and spins faster but it does get hot! Use cardboard file cylinder bits found at the beauty supply or online. Oh no, this blade is super sharp and I would never use these trimmers on a dog's nails.

I have a Lab and a Poodle. I bought two sizes. They work well on both of my pets. My poodle has black nails and the labs is more of a transparent nail. I clip the ends in one good strong clip, then I use a dremel to grind them down shorter and smooth them out. I can only attest for what I've actually used them on. I hope this helps.

It's larger than the usual fingernail clippers, but I see no reason why you couldn't use it. It might be a bit trickier to get a clean cut.

I have cockers, and I use scissors to do what you say. Then I trim the toenails. Be certain not to go into the quick when you do the toenails.

I purchased this specifically for use on my dog's nails. I use the round sanding drum with an appropriate sanding disc. Have used this method for over 20 yrs. on both large and small dogs.

Yes, I would say it is. A few tips as I've been doing dog's nails all my life. 1) If the nails are long or you're unfamiliar with their nails, only trim the very tip. Do this every 7-10 days. 2) Bend their paws toward the rear. You can see their cuticle on the underside plus it won't pull their joint out and hurt them. Added benefit is if they try to bite, they can only reach your side. Nothing vital. Good luck!

Yes, you need to be careful when cutting them. If you look at the back of the nail, you'll see a soft pink or black (depending of your dog's nail color) tissue/skin (called quick) that you shouldn't cut because your dog will bleed. Just be careful and cut little by little until you are close to the quick but not too close.

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.

Hello, About every 4 to 6 months. It all depends how often you use it and the breed of dog. I have a lab and his nails are thick and long. I cut his nails every 3 weeks. Hope this helps.
