About this deal
Its one speed is strictly middle of the road, so although it will grind your dog’s nails, it will take a good long while to do that. About: The Oster Gentle Paws Grinder is a classic two-speed pet nail grinder with several band attachments you can use depending on your pet’s claws. About: The Petural Nail Grinder is a cordless, two-speed nail-grinding tool that features a diamond bit and works for up to 6 hours between charges. While it’s one of the most affordable on the market, the downside with this grinder is that the motor isn’t very powerful, so it can take a lot of time to file your dog’s nails down, especially with thick nails. For most nail trimming applications, the Dremel PawControl should always stay set to the lowest power setting on the speed dial: 1 (8,000 RPM).
A rechargeable battery also offers cordless operation, which is a huge advantage when trimming your pet's nails. In our testing, we preferred to remove the sheath for maximum maneuverability, but if your dog sits still, the tidiness it promotes is a solid bonus. The angle means you’ll follow the nail’s natural shape, while the guard keeps your dog’s fur out of the way and protects your pet in case it won’t stay still. While this Dremel is not the absolute quietest model you will come across on this list, its low buzz is unlikely to upset any but the most sensitive pups.For safety reasons, you cannot press it too firmly against the dog's nail or the Dremel will stop spinning. A grinder allows you to smooth the edges of your dog’s nails, which looks nicer and can also prevent them from snagging their nail on carpeting or other materials.
Avoid grinding too close to the quick (the blood vessel inside the nail) to prevent bleeding and pain.When you choose to use a regular Dremel tool to trim your dog’s nails, bear the usual safety tips and best-practices in mind. Included in the package were the grinder unit, thorough operating and safety instructions, a rechargeable battery pack (which arrived partly charged) and plug-in wall charger, a detachable rubber tip, and a small collection of sanding drums. With several sanding discs, multiple bands, and almost three hours of battery life, it is especially useful for multi-dog homes.
