Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dremel 761-03 Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool
Customer Review: Better than regular nail clippers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 3 dogs and each one runs at the sight of the nail clippers. Getting them used to the Dremel was great, but somewhat time consuming. One of my dogs got used to the Dremel right away(didn't need treats for her), and the other two took about 2-3 months. It took a lot of treats and daily paw handling to calm those two down. But once I got their nails dremeled it was all worth it. Their nails come out nice and smooth and a decent length. No more worrying about cutting into the quick. I would highly recommend getting 15min rechargable batteries though.Customer Review: Better than the peticure, but you need a steadier hand
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the Peticure, but it died after a year. I read some other negative reviews of the peticure when I went to purchase another one so I didn't want to buy it again. Which brought me to the Dremel. It is great. My dogs nails have not looked so good in a long time. The Dremel is not surrounded by a protective cover like the peticure, so you have to be super careful when filing your dogs nails. I have a system where I grab the digit and squeeze the protruding nail so minimize the vibration and of accidentally filing another nail or part of the paw that shouldn't be filed. It takes some practice, but I have it down pat now. I installed batteries when I first got it (4 AA's) and they have lasted for about 2 months with a filing maybe once or twice a month. (I only file a little at a time because my dogs nails got to be so long and I don't want to file too low to the quick, so I file a little at a time to allow the quick to recede before filing again). And then I bought rechargeable batteries anyway, to not throw away so many batteries.
I really recommend this product.
Customer Review: Big Dogs No Chance This Will Work
Summary: 2 Stars
We received the Pet Nail Dremel, and we were very excited to try this on our 105 pound lab since he hates the clippers. We were very disappointed with the tool for many reasons.
1. There is no way it can sand down any type of large breed nails;unless its a puppy large breed.
2. The friction from the dremel on the nail takes only 3 seconds before it gets to hot,and that is not long enough to sand down my own nail much less than our labs.
3. The size of the sanders that come with the dremel might work on a small maybe medium dog at best.
4. It is very time consuming and it would take me days to complete the filing on a medium dog, and for our large breed dog forget about it! Back to the vet we go.
Customer Review: Careful!
Summary: 4 Stars
To any self proclaimed dumba**es out there such as my self who plan on using this to trim your dog's nails:
Be careful when using this on dogs with long hair around their paws. The hair could tangle around the dremel and therefore pulling it out and causing the dog a lot of pain. I found this out the hard way when my dog got scared and tried to get away. While he was trying to get away and I was trying to keep a hold of him his hair got caught on the tool and pulled it out. While I was trying to "rescue him" and turn the thing off I ended up "sanding" down three of my fingers. By the look of one of my fingers you would of thought I had the saw attachment on it, not just the sand paper. Just make sure to be careful and put a sock on your dogs foot and poke the nail through. This will hopefully save you a couple layers of skin.
Customer Review: Cat owner in San Jose, CA
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this item since I thought it would be a quick and painless way to cut my two indoor cat's nails. OMG...My first cat is a little skittish anyways and absolutely freaked out when I turned the Dremel on. It makes a lot of noise and my cat when nuts. My second cat is so laid back and not usually afraid of anything. I got one nail done before he went nuts. I couldn't get near them with this thing. It's too loud and not as easy to use as I thought. I'm going back to the clippers. They're quicker and less traumatic. Too bad I missed returning them back in time. Now I'm stuck with them. Maybe in a couple years I'll get a dog and be able to use them on it if I need to. What a waste of money.
