It will fall apart!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
There is no question that dremeling a dogs nails is safer, more comfortable and easier to use. I cut my dog’s quick once and I felt just terrible. Have said that, this particular product falls apart. It literally fell apart in my hand. It eats batteries and it doesn’t keep a consistant speed. I have stepped up to a cordless rotary tool with a battery charger. There is a really good article on dremeling a dogs nails [...] Read it before you buy a dremel and use it. There is a real art to it and if you love your dog, you want them comfortable and safe.

This is the only way to go
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I put off trying this item because I was convinced it wouldn’t work for my dogs, and was even thinking of selling it. Now I wish I hadn’t waited. I was forced to use it today since I couldn’t find their regular nail clippers – two of them – and believe me I tried hard. Gave up, got out my rechargeable AA batteries, loaded them in, turned it on and voila. Everything worked as it should.

Now for my dog. She is skittish at best and I was sure she would shy away. I turned it on low and held it up to her – no worries. High setting didn’t bother her either. Great. I set to work. Her nails had gotten a bit long so I was concerned, but I needn’t have worried. The Dremel worked like a charm with no fuss and very little muss. I am sold! So glad I couldn’t find the traditional clippers. I hate them and they scare me. This is is breezy.

Next time out I am going to use an old knee-hi nylon to hold back the hair. Other than that I see no worries. Skeptics just need to give it a try.

Did not come with any grinding drums
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Ordered from Amazon and opened package and unit did not come with any grinding drums AT ALL- so the thing is completely useless without them. An unexpected pain to have to deal with, call manufacturer? return to Amazon?

Doesn’t come with tools
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this thing for my dogs, went to trim their nails and found out there was no toolbit to put the sanders onto unlike what is shown in the picture. No wrench either. Don’t be fooled the picture does not show what really comes with it (5 sanders) and they want you to buy the toolbit for extra.

Dremel cordless pet grooming tool
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great product . We have two small dogs who are kind of fussy about having their nails done, but neither one protested much when we used the dremel pet tool. Nice design because it’s cordless and not too noisy like a regular plug in model – in other words it’s just right. We only use the low speed setting which seems to work best. Highly recommended.

Not for me
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I thought this product would make nail maintenance a breeze for my dogs, but Nope not the case. My dog was patient with me, but the product didn’t shorten her nail. I can’t even say it smoothed it. I take my dogs to the vet for nail trimming still. I bought two, one for me and one for my son’s girlfriend. It didn’t work for her either, so the product may work for some, but it’s not for me.

Not worth the money
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Cheap price, but it shows. The battery compartment is difficult to get back on, and if it is not seated exactly right, the tool doesn’t work at full power. My suggestion is to buy the real tool.

Great way to trim nails, wrong Dremel for the job
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I’ve been grinding nails on my dogs for years now and it is 100X better for your dog than clipping! It doesn’t pinch and less chance of cutting too short.

With that said, I’ve been using the Dremel 2-speed with rechargeable battery for years, I decided to buy a second one after leaving my “old faithful” at my vacation house. Thought I’d try this model – the “pet nail” tool. Well, much to my surprise, it takes 4AA batteries instead of the rechargeable pack. I figured I’d give it a shot since it was here and the dogs were clicking on the wood floors. Well, I didn’t even get through both dogs before the batteries quit, and I’m not talking cheap batteries either – I used the Silver/Blue Energizers that have a longer life than average batteries. At 4 batteries per dog, this tool will cost me a fortune. I just ordered another one with the rechargeable battery pack and will just keep this one in my travel bag for when we’re away and need an emergency touch up. The one with the batter pack was only $1 more!

Don’t buy this model – get the one with the rechargeable pack.

FYI – Dremel told me I could retrofit my battery unit with a battery pack, but it would cost almost as much as the unit itself – no thanks.
