If you are nervous about grinding your dog’s nails down too much, a focused headlamp will be an invaluable tool for Dremeling — and for walking your dog at night!

He loves his face and tail to be done, however, the body and feet he dislikes which leads to sadly muzzle :(.It’s quite normal for both you and your pet to feel a little trepidation at the prospect of a nail grooming session. I know this because my own dog Miles is extremely sensitive, and couldn’t have his nails clipped, and he is now very accepting of having his nails Dremeled (see below video). Here is my routine: alternate between the nails on one foot (to prevent each nail from overheating).

Dremel recommends not exceeding 10,000 RPM, or the lowest setting on most rotary models, for pet grooming. A wrong move can also nip your pup’s quick (the blood vessels beneath the nail), which is upsetting for both of you.Once the nails on the foot are short enough, I then smooth in a circular motion the sides of the nail. Or it may result in accidentally hitting the nail quick (the center of the nail, packed with nerves and blood) if pet owners aren’t careful. I get the impression you’re not a crazy about the “pet specific” Dremel nail grinders, which aren’t mentioned at all in your comprehensive article. The included nail guard helps you grind your dog's nails at the proper angle, and prevents you from grinding them too far and risking injury. Before you start your pet pedicure, introduce the dog to the electric pet nail grinder and the task at hand.
