Clipping Your Pet's Nails |
|
|
For those of us who are afraid to use the nail clippers on our pets, I've discovered that using a dremel sanding tool is quick and easy. The noise is minimal and you can sand both sides of the nail before aiming toward the quick. It's also chargeable so there's no cord to get in the way.
My old dog is almost 18 and he doesn't mind this nearly as much as the clippers. I can always sand just a little one week and the next head for more if I feel brave.

Excellent idea!
I just got this tip to use on my F-in-law's toe nails from the podiatist.
Never thought about the dog! Thanks for the brainstorm!

just be careful to not hold the grinder in one place for too long, the nail gets too hot and is painful for the dog

Where can you get a 'dremel'?
Editor's Note: Dremel is a brand name for a small power tool. You can find them at any hardware or home improvement store. Just Google it and I'm sure there are many available online.
RE: Clipping Your Pet's Nails
using a dremel is an excellent idea and I have tried it in the past. Even though my dogs don't mind having their feet handled, they don't like their nails clipped. The problem with the dremel in my case is, I can't get my dogs to sit still long enough to sand the nails!!! Luckily for me, my dogs run a lot and their nails are almost always short just from walking and running.
