Dremels versus clippers

[pomtzu]

At present I don't do either - I let the vet or groomer do my dog's nails! However - I'm going to check in to a Dremel when I go out later today. I've tried the clippers myself - I just don't feel comfortable using them.

I use both... if the nails are really long I usually clip them back and then dremel them.... I have one dog that is better for a dremel than clippers, but still even thing she hates to have her nails done!! I can do ANYTHING to that dog (Paris) but her nails... she is absolutely horrible for her nails!! LOL

I bought a small dremel and it makes too much noise - the dogs won't let me any where near them with it. They don't like to have their nails trimmed with trimmers but they really hated the dremel. So I guess I still with the trimmers!

I use the clippers, the scissors type, not the guillotine type. I cut close and I cut often and you can tell the quick recedes over time. I think in the past 9 years I've cut a nail too short on Autumn once. She struggles a little and no way would she let me near her with a noisy dremel. Nae won't let me do her nails, but she wears them down outside, she has the right foot shape to wear them down on her own.
