The Dremel PawControl 7760-PGK, however, is easy to maneuver around a grumpy or skittish pooch (or owner) because it is cordless and quiet, and it has a rubber surface that’s easy to grip. That is why using a Dremel that has variable speeds is very handy for the safety and comfort of the dog, because the slower the speed, the longer it takes to build friction, and the more control you have over ensuring the process never creates any heat, or sands the nail down too fast. Melissa Andrews of Creature Comforts in Durham, North Carolina, prefers grinders but cautions that you need to be sure to use a bit that’s coarse enough to work efficiently but not so rough that it pulls on the nail while grinding. My french bulldog tore a nail when he was a puppy, and ever since has been deathly afraid of clippers.

If you'd like to more thoroughly wash the metal attachments on your PawControl, first detach them from the device. If you’re lucky, your dog will patiently wait while you tend to its toes, but it probably wants the experience over with as quickly as possible. Unlike other grinders, it comes with a diamond bit built directly into the unit, but the grinding wheel is quite small; unless you remove the plastic sheath surrounding it, you’ll have access to only a small grinding area during use.If your pet is more contented after a long walk or very relaxed after a feed, those are the moments to seize.

The nail guard traps nail dust, makes it harder to accidentally sand a pup’s paw pads, and it ensures that first-time users are grinding at a 45-degree angle that matches the nail’s slant. The safety guard on the top of the tool covers all rotating parts, making the cutting experience just as comfortable for you. Our testing team rated the Dremel PawControl highly for dog owners who trim their pups' nails at least once a month.Throughout the acclimation process, continue to praise your pet and reward good behavior with a snack. Nail grinders won’t hurt your dog, especially if you grind slowly, and quietly, while your pet is calm. Just cover the bleed with a pinch of styptic powder and apply moderate pressure until the bleeding stops. Gradually work up to having your pet’s toenails touch the rotating sanding disc for less than a second.
