 good product July 14, 2010

Works good. Took a few days of getting the dog used to the noise and the feeling but he does not mind it now.
 Works great July 5, 2010

Both my large dog and I hated clipping his nails. I picked this
up few years ago after reading some reviews and have never looked back.
Not having to worry about cutting off too much nail makes it much
less of a chore. It has plenty of power for the job, the batteries last
through quite a few clippings and I don't have to worry about working around a cord.
I can't imagine going back to a clipper.
Great for cats! May 31, 2010

I have an old Dremel MiniMite that I use on my cats claws. The only difference I can see from the pet version is the MiniMite has a rechargeable battery and a few different bits. Pet version rpm's is a little higher. The MiniMite does what I need it to do. My cat doesn't seem to mind as long as I use the slow speed. I'm not sure if it also makes a difference that I changed the sanding tube to a finer grit than the one it originally came with. I think the vibration is the issue not the noise. I decided this because I have an extremely loud vacuum cleaner and my cat will continue to nap when I am vacuuming just a few feet from her. She doesn't even flinch. I think it's what she feels, not what she hears, that disturbs her.
I use the Soft Paw nail caps on her. When they fall off, the nail underneath is long and sharp. I still have to trim the tips of the nails with the nippers then use the Dremel to file the nail down to where I need it and sand away the old glue. I have a video on YouTube that I took of my cat when I was replacing a cap. MissBiscuit823, "Kitty gets her manicure". You can see how she jerks away when I forget and put it on the high speed. She is so good when I do her nails but I can tell you that didn't happen overnight. It takes time and patience to get your pet to accept the whole nail grooming process. You can expect your pet to be resistant in the beginning.
There are lots of videos on YouTube where people and professionals give tips on how to do your pets nails. There's some very good tips but also a lot of videos where you can clearly see what the pet owner is doing wrong! I've seen people trying to use Pedipaws which is like a Dremel and they are doing it totally wrong and frightening their pet. In the end they decide the product is to blame when it's obviously not the tool that's the problem.
Also, I know several manicurists that use the Dremel to sand away callouses from the feet when doing pedicures. Don't know how they sanitize it but there's another use for the Dremel you may not have thought of.
Better than the peticure, but you need a steadier hand May 12, 2010

I had the Peticure, but it died after a year. I read some other negative reviews of the peticure when I went to purchase another one so I didn't want to buy it again. Which brought me to the Dremel. It is great. My dogs nails have not looked so good in a long time. The Dremel is not surrounded by a protective cover like the peticure, so you have to be super careful when filing your dogs nails. I have a system where I grab the digit and squeeze the protruding nail so minimize the vibration and of accidentally filing another nail or part of the paw that shouldn't be filed. It takes some practice, but I have it down pat now. I installed batteries when I first got it (4 AA's) and they have lasted for about 2 months with a filing maybe once or twice a month. (I only file a little at a time because my dogs nails got to be so long and I don't want to file too low to the quick, so I file a little at a time to allow the quick to recede before filing again). And then I bought rechargeable batteries anyway, to not throw away so many batteries.
I really recommend this product.
Great Nail File April 19, 2010
Jim Gazia (USA)
Item is used by my dogs vet and I decided to get one also for in between visits. Works great and is far better then clippers and a file to shorten and smooth my
toy poodles nails, and no worry of cutting nail too short and cause bleeding. Highly recommend
