Dog Nail Grinders

Dog nail grinders are a safe and better alternative to professional dog nail clippers. These grinders allow you to control and hold your pet’s paw in a more comfortable manner. This is because the small motor tool can be held with ease. Comparatively, a traditional dog nail cutter would have to be gripped firmly to manually trim nails. 

Instead of cutting, the tool can grind the dog nails slowly. The premium grinding drill can be stopped at any part of the process, while the traditional dog nail cutter has to be used in a rigid and defined motion. This means that the likelihood of making a mistake is low as the tool can be taken away quickly once the dog feels the slightest bit of discomfort. 

The grinding tip also gives the added benefit of making the dog’s nail smooth and polished. To achieve this finish with the nail cutter method, the owner would have to allot extra time to use a pet nail file to smoothen the cut edges. 

For more quality-of-life products for you and your lovable dogs, we recommend that you take a look at eDog Australia’s other collections.

No matter the unique dog situation you have, eDog Australia certainly has the solution for you! 

How to choose the right nail grinders for dogs? 

Choose the right nail grinders for dogs by taking into consideration speed and vibration, guard, and portability. 

Speed and vibration

Speed and vibration go hand in hand. The higher the speed, the faster it is to grind your dog’s nails. However, this also means that the vibration from the electric nail trimmer is greater. Dog nail grinders with higher levels of vibration must be used by more intermediate groomers and owners. This is because the tool must be held more firmly than usual compared to a slower grinder with less vibration. That is why it is recommended that a slower tool, with less vibration, be used as a quiet indoor home solution. 

Guard

One other aspect to take note of is the guard for the dog nail grinders. For inexperienced users, a grinder with a large guard is recommended. Using the guard would mean that only a small portion of the dog’s nail is exposed to the sanding drill surface. This eliminates the risk of accidentally pushing the sensitive pink portion of the nail into the spinning tip. 

Portability

If messy wires are a deal-breaker for you, then buy a cordless and rechargeable soft pet paws nail grinder. This is the best dog nail grinder for people who groom their dogs outside their house. By using wireless nail trimmers for dogs, you can sand your dog’s nails without worrying about making a mess. 

How to trim dog nails with a grinder? 

Trimming nails with dog nail grinders is simple. Just follow these instructions to give your dog smooth and short nails in no time. 

Much like any dog grooming tool, allow your pet to get accustomed to seeing and interacting with the electric nail grinder for dogs. Let your dog sniff and place its paw on the tool – making sure that it knows that it is not a dangerous object. 

Next, reward your dog with treats if it interacts well with the electric nail grinder. For instance, if your dog initially barked at the grinder when you turned it on, pause and take some time to reintroduce the tool. Once your dog stops barking at the tool when you turn it on, celebrate and give your furry friend a well-deserved treat. 

Once your pet exhibits no negative reaction to the presence of dog nail grinders, gently prepare the paws to be trimmed. Carefully extend one nail at a time and slowly grind it down with the tool. If your dog reacts negatively to this new sensation, feel free to repeat the first steps until your dog becomes more accepting. 

Lastly, utilise the electric dog nail grinder guard to make sure that the sensitive portions of your dog’s nails are not exposed to the spinning tip. 

How to clean a dog’s nail grinder?

Cleaning a dog’s nail grinder is as easy as one-two-three! 

First, wet a soft piece of fabric or microfibre cloth with rubbing alcohol. Make sure it is not overly wet. 

Second, use the cloth to displace nail dust and debris on the grinding tip. A good steady shake or blow can also remove particles that are stuck in the guard. 

Third, dry the grinding tip by leaving it out in the open air or by taking a dry piece of cleaning cloth and wiping it down.
