how do you uae a dremmel grinder to grind down dogs toenails?
As a show dog owner, my dogs nails need to be perfect.
Best to use the rechargeable Dremmel because it is a lot quieter and won’t grind down the nail as fast as the electrical ones.
Start with a fine grind sanding belt on the lowest speed and just lightly touch the ends of your dogs nails, while holding the dog’s toe firmly to reduce the vibration which may be uncomfortable for him. Do NOT use a grinding stone, they get too hot and could burn your dog’s foot.
If his nails are clear, when you see the pink, stop just below that. If his nails are dark, this is more difficult because you must guestimate where the quick would be… remember less is more.
The shape of his nails should be natural and flat on the bottom.
It is always better to take less off than too much.
I do my italian greyhounds nails once a week, and it takes less than 5 minutes to do all his nails, and he relaxes completely while i am doing it.
Praise your dog a lot when you are done.
After doing this weekly, in a few months your dog will allow you to do his nails with no problem.
Personally, I prefer this method to the guillotine because it is much more exact.
