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. Clipping toenails also increases the
likelihood of cutting the internal blood supply to the
nail, called the quick; grinding is more gradual 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 wor-
risome experience for both the pet and pet owner.
Rest assured that nail grooming does not have to be
a stressful experience. By starting early and consid-
ering grooming to be part of your pet's training, your
pet will grow used to the experience.
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 mas-
sage their legs, paws, and individual toes for a few
minutes at least once a day. Afterwards, create a pos-
itive 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 keeping 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 cou-
ple 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.

The nails/claws containing quick vessels described in
this section are relevant to several types of pets,
including dogs and cats.
Before trimming your pet's nails, you will need to
identify the quick. The diagram (Fig. 8) shows the
basic anatomy of a pet's toenail. The outer nail is
hard and has no feeling because it has no nerve end-
ings. The core of the nail is the quick. It is made up
of tiny blood vessels and nerve endings and is very
sensitive. The quick is a vein that "feeds" the toenail.
Should you cut the quick while trimming a nail, the
nail will start to bleed.
Light colored nails are often transparent enough to
allow you to see the quick's pink core. Dark colored
nails may not allow you to see where the quick is locat-
ed. Pets may have both light and dark colored nails
