This is a great product.

After many months of having to take my very resistant Bull Mastiff to the vet for monthly manicures, I picked this item up. This has been a great help. I found that the trimmings at the vet were very traumatic for both me and my dog, especially with the muzzle. Now we do her nails at home in the comfort of her own bed and she's much happier with this arrangement.^M

I've used this product five times since we purchased it and it's still running strong. I only recently replaced the batteries and the sander. I thought it would be more often considering some of the other reviews and her big thick black nails. I think the person who said the batteries died after the first use probably got an old set of batteries with their purchase. This happened to me with a scale I bought and after new batteries it was running fine. This kit is a dream come true and it only cost me what I would have spent on one and a half vet manicures.^M

A note to other large dog owners: If your pet is extremely resistant to any type of nail trimming then I suggest you discuss with your vet about getting sedatives for the dog. This makes them a lot more calm and even easier to handle. After the pet gets used to the grooming then the sedation can slowly be used less; until they're completely comfortable with the procedure without any medication. This is an immense help for the more difficult pets out there.^M

All in all, this was one great purchase. I have had no problems with the product and it saves time and money by being able to care for my dog at home. I highly recommend this item.

She loves it!

My greyhound is a bit timid, and when I first used the Dremel on her nails, she worried. After several weeks of doing a little bit at a time, she now falls asleep while I do her nails. It seems to mesmerize her. It sure beats clipping!

Neat little tool!

This little tool turned out to be easier to use than I expected. It's not real noisy and my dog doesn't seem to mind it. It's been a big help in keeping my dogs' nails groomed without wasting money at the vets office. Thanks Dremel for such an easy and compact tool!
