Why Use a Dremel Rotary Tool to Groom Pet Nails?
Scissors and guillotine-type clippers apply pressure and pinch
the nail, which can be uncomfortable for pet toes and feet. Clip-
ping toenails also increases the likelihood of cutting the internal
blood supply to the nail, called the quick; grinding is more grad-
ual and controlled. If the quick is nicked using a rotary tool, the
cut is usually smaller and will heal quicker than a cut made with
a nail clipper.

Before you start

Grooming a pet's nails for the first time can be a worrisome ex-
perience for both the pet and pet owner. Rest assured that nail
grooming does not have to be a stressful experience. By starting
early and considering grooming to be part of your pet's training,
your pet will grow used to the experience.

Operating Instructions
First, train your pet to feel comfortable with their paws being
touched and handled before exposing them to the rotary tool.
One way to do this is to massage their legs, paws, and individual
toes for a few minutes at least once a day. Afterwards, create a
positive association with this experience by rewarding your pet
with its favorite snack.
Next, help your pet grow gradually accustomed to the rotary tool.
Let your pet sniff the tool while it is turned off. Then, while keep-
ing the tool in your hand, let your pet listen to the sound the tool
makes when it is turned on. Ideally, have your pet sit or lay on its
side while the tool is in your hand and running. Gradually work
up to having your pet's toenails touch the rotating sanding disc
for less than a second. Do not grind the nails yet; simply let your
pet become familiar with the tool. Throughout the acclimation
process, continue to praise your pet and reward good behavior
with a snack. This process may take a couple of days or weeks.
Before long, both you and your pet will be able to relax and even
enjoy the grooming time that you share together.
