Product Description
Its a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dogs nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremels cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pets nails without cutting. We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie whos endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on. Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on. The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us. We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time. If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the -inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, its a tail-wagger. ....read more

Great for pets, and fairly quiet.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this tool to groom my Boston Terrier’s nails and it works very well for this task. Any Boston owner will tell you that their nails get VERY sharp very quickly, so this is a necessity for me.
If you need tips for training your dog to let you Dremel their nails there are some videos on YouTube explaining the process. You have to slowly work up to it, but it’s entirely worth it. The secret is using really GOOD treats that the dog ONLY gets when you trim their nails.
This tool is fairly quiet and the fact that it’s cordless makes it much easier to get it where you need it, even when you’re trying to hold a dog on your lap, as I do.
The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is that the batteries are a bit of a pain to put in, and the battery life is not great.
I still highly recommend this tool, and especially this method of grooming your pet’s nails. This is so much safer than clippers, as you have less chance of cutting the quick of the nail, causing your dog a lot of pain.
Tess and Rambo Approve!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Tess, my 8yr. old Boxer, and Rambo, my 14yr. old Shepard, absolutely HATE having their nails cut. Their stress only compounds mine, with bleeding nails and rough, jagged results.
I only wish I had discovered this years ago!
The product is a lower RPM, battery operated (rechargables, in my case) product from a company that makes some very durable home-improvement rotary tools. In fact, the replacement bands and 1/2″ disc are readily available from the big box retailer and home improvment superstores-another plus.
I quickly acclimated mine to the tool by starting with some trimming incorporated into their regular teeth brushing. They love teeth cleaning because I use poultry flavoured toothpaste. I just gave them a little extra toothpaste treat when using the tool.
They were nervous at first because they associate my touching their paws with the old clippers and eventual blood loss and trauma, but once they saw this tool wasn’t hurting them, they were fine.
Be sure to not apply pressure when filing-just let the RPM’s do their thing. Also, keep it on each nail for just a fews seconds, to avoid heat build-up of the nail.
Tess was so intrigued by this thing she tried to lick it while moving, and got a light nose-buffing! I’m sure this stunt won’t be repeated, but it gives you an idea how unthreateningly they perceive it.
The high speed setting with a store-purchased 1/2″ wheel seems to work best on my 60lb’ers, but smaller dogs might prefer the supplied 1/4″ wheel and the slower speed.
After just a week of short sessions, Tess has normal-length nails, and the slower accepting Rambo is about 50% there. Both wheels have grit remaining and the rechargable batteries haven’t been exhausted yet. I do think regular batteries might get expensive over time with this product.
UPDATE: Still working great after 6 months. Nails are nice and short. Dogs are so used to it now they just about sleep through it!
Excellent Pet Nail Trimmer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great product. Some of these cost way above $50. This one is quiet and easy to use. The dog just comes to us and lays on his back when he notices that we have it. A must have for dog owners.
Kind of disappointing
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I am always afraid to clip my dog’s nails in fear I will cut too short. I thought this would be a nice replacement for the clippers. My dog’s nails were really long and I ended up just going back to the clipper because this took forever. I suppose on a smaller dog this would be fine, but my 55 lb German Shepherd has big feet, long, thick nails. Grinding down even one nail 1/8 inch takes forever, which my dog is completely unwilling to sit by and let me do to him. I hoped it would be super fast and powerful. It’s just kind of disappointing. I use it now to smooth out the edges after I use the real clippers, which seems to be an OK role for this dremel.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY cheap plastic poor design
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
For a cheap plastic, badly designed, made in Mexico piece of junk, it’s not half bad. It’s very under powered and I don’t think the switch will last very long. The batteries are hard to replace. If you have a big dog you will need a lot of batteries. I’m going to give mine away and buy a standard Dremel off eBay at not much more than I paid for this cheap junk.
The wrench is NOT in the package.
Better than regular dog nail cutters
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I bought this because my dog has really long thick nails, And is scared of regular doggy nail cutters. It was easy to get my dog used to the product. I have been using it to slowly trim his nails back to short. I have found that this product depletes its batteries very quickly, It is not that powerful either. It takes a while to grind a thick nail shorter. I think it will work best on pets with thinner nails.
This has made cutting my dogs’ nails so much easier!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I never had much success with the nail clippers, so I tried this out and loved it. My dogs still don’t love nail trimming time, but this tool gets the job done fairly quickly and I don’t have to worry about hitting the quick and hurting them. It does suck up batteries pretty quickly, but I bought rechargeable batteries and that has solved that problem. If you are introducing your dog to this tool, you may want to take it slow, give lots of treats, etc. but overall this tool is way cheaper and easier than going to the groomers and I love it.
Pet Dremel
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I Love It! My Twelve year old golden retriever won’t let anyone trim his nails and he doesn’t mind the dremel at all, which is a miracle! The directions for introducing your pet to the dremel is the most critical component to making this process a success. Without that advice, it would not have worked out at all. So for those of you (and me!) that don’t like to read directions, take the time, they are short and absolutely necessary. This is a great product. The first one I received was defective, so I was a bit skeptical, but the second one was great.
Don’t bother
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Don’t bother to spend your money on this grinder. I was hoping to be able to cordlessly grind my dogs nails but it is so lacking power that it comes to a halt just pushing it against the nails. I have big dogs so I gave it to a friend with little dogs and she said it wouldn’t grind their nails either. It just doesn’t have enough power. Go for something bigger is my advice.
Less stress for both

Dremel 761-03 7,000/14,000 RPM Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool
Can’t beat the price. 3-4 saved trips to the groomer and it’s paid for itself. Takes a little gettting used to, but you can do a decent job the first time. Don’t really know why, but I hardly get any “attitude” from my dog anymore and he keeps his paws pretty steady compared to the jerkiness you get with the clippers. We’ll see how long the drums last, but, so far, I’d have to say we’re both happy campers.
No title review
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Howdy folks, I and my dogs like the results of grinding instead of clipped their nails. By doing it every few days the quick has recessed a lot and the nails no longer make noise on the tile floor. I would suggest the 1/2 sanding bands with fine for small dogs and course for the large animals. Don’t work on one nail for a long time. Best is to hit each nail a bit and return as seem to perfer it that way.
better than clippers
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Since my dog always protested vehemently when getting his claws clipped (having once long ago mistakenly cut into the quick), my vet recommended this grinder. I’ve used it twice with virtually no resistance from my dog (other than “let go of my paw”). The little belts wear fairly quickly, but I got the fine grit only. When it comes time to order more, maybe I’ll get both coarse and fine grit.
dremel Battery Mini Mite

Item is the same great power tool as the double the price Mini Mite rechargable without the hassel of re-charging and waiting.
What a waste
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I bought this in hopes it would help me maintain my English Bulldog’s nails. This tool is worthless, it does nothing! Maybe it’s better for small dogs, but for a larger breeds I would say, save your money. I’m going to look to see if maybe another attachment will work with it and perhaps do the trick.
UGH
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I did a great deal of researching before buying this product. I have sat with my dogs for a long time to try and get them use to this drill. However, I have large dogs with tough toenails. This drill doesn’t go fast enough to take off any toenail. My dogs will tolerate for a while, but you have to sit there forever to get some toenail sanded off. They are only patient for so long. I only gave it a 3 because maybe I can use on some crafts that I have. I was very sadden to see that it did not perform up to my expectations.
Dremmel pet groomer #761 cordless
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I was really disappointed with this product.
It simply can not hold a charge .
I go thru the 4AAA batteries like they were water, and I even changed battery brands with no success.
Four paws will cost you 16 batteries.
If you want to use it for a quick touch up, AFTER using another dremmel it would be ok..just don’t use it as the main product.
I like the dremmel brand and have two other dremels including a chargable cordless that work fine..
I give this a 1 out of 10
