The battery powered ones are not the way to go IMHO. This thing is the best thing since sliced bread. I tried the Dremmel without the trimmer head and it is very difficult to keep it where you want it. The Peticure head has holes around the head to accomodate differing size nails. This is money well spent. My lab HATED having his nails clipped. He started looking like he had bear paws. If you set the Dremmel on the lowest speed setting, the noise is not bad at all. With a little reward treat afterward, Tucker looks forward to having his nails trimmed now. All I have to do is turn the thing on and he comes right away! Just remember... don't leave the sanding wheel in contact with the nail for more than 3 seconds at a time. His nail will get too hot and he won't like it at all. Go from one nail to the next and back again to keep them cool. I have one of the Peticure heads that I attached to a Dremmel tool I already own… a corded one.

But, since he has been going to daycare 1 day a week I have not had his nails done since last October. He comes home and they are filed right down.<br/><br/>Either way I prefer not to do it.

Either way I prefer not to do it. I want him to love me

One is a little iffy on his front feet, could care less about his back feet. The other lets me do all 4, including dew claws without a twitch - even sometimes rolling over onto her back. I can see the quick before I get there, the increments you shave off are much smaller than clipping so I can stop ahead of time. I use a Dremel on 2 of my 3 dogs.

Not sure how this will work for my big girl. She hates having her nails done. Vet has to muzzle her even. But I thought I would try. A friend uses a similar type device (a Dremel) on her large Akitas and they do great. She said her male Akita lays on his back like he is at a spa! <br/><br/>I'll keep you posted on how it works for Gracie. I have one on order. Not sure how this will work for my big girl.
