I am currently testing out a new version of the APF Bridge Component - If you notice any errors within this demo store please drop me a line.

My rather large lab has dark nails and has always hated having his nails trimmed. In fact, I couldn't do it without injuring him, so I have always taken him to his vet for nail trims at about $12 to $15 a pop. I bought this Dremel after reading reviews for the assortment of similar available products. Then I had the vet trim his nails so that I only have to maintain them. So far so good. The drill is not very noisy and is easy to hold and direct. The lowest setting is sufficient for maintenance. I tried it on my own nails and fingertips with no adverse effects. I think that it will be a real money saver in the long run if I just maintain rather than trying to grind down overgrown nails. The only drawback is that the sandpaper does not last long with my big dog's thick nails and should be replaced after only one heavy or two light sanding sessions, but that is probably best for sanitation anyway and may not apply to smaller pets.

we used it on our umbrella cockatoo for years- the little kitty cat nail trimmers were okay, but constantly either hit the quick or left his nails sharp- (not fun to have him climbing your afterward) we now use it on the dogs (2lb yorkie on up to 85 lb lab)
nice cause it is cordless ( we take it to the fairgrounds for touch ups on the goats hooves too) just have spare AA batteries around- we use the rechargeable ones and have never had a problem yet-
also does not seem to be as noisy as the dremel with the cord attached- nice touch for fearful dogs
oh and use it on the birds beaks too!!!

I feel like the Dremel causes my pet much less pain than clippers would but the length of time I have to keep her still to use the Dremel could be just as painful. They tell you not to press hard with the Dremel so therefore it takes quite awhile to trim one nail on my chocolate lab. I would recommend this product for small dog owners first.

While in theory this Dremel should work great, in reality it does not. I have 4 Golden Retrievers so finding a better way to trim nails was very important to me. Not only does it take FOREVER to trim the nails with the Dremel, it also chews up batteries. I used 2 sets (4 each) just to trim my 4 dogs. I didn't even get the nails as short as I wanted to and ended up using a standard nail trimmer and sand paper. If this tool was electric, then I think it wouldn't be too bad. It did trim the nails, but at a very, very slow rate. It really was a waste of money and my time.

This item "works" but my dog does not like it - after a month of trying to get him used to it, he still won't let me file his nails with it. I will keep trying but I'm not optimistic.
