Hertzko Electronic Dog & Cat Nail Grinder with USB Charger

I have two Scottish terriers that fight us, scream like goats, and have bitten us while trying to trim their nails over the years. I bought this grinder on a whim, thinking “oh well, it’s only 20 bucks” but let me tell you it was the best money I’ve spent in a while. It was quiet, smooth and easy to use. While it still took my husband to hold the dog and we did use some peanut butter as a bribe, I was able to significantly trim down their black dragon talon toenails! They are shorter, smooth and best of all I didn’t hit the quick and there was no blood. It was easy to charge (no batteries!!) and had the power to complete two Scotties and we even did the Dachshund.

Grinder makes a noise, but it isn't super loud or annoying. Took the cover off because it was easier to work with when it wasn't on. I've had my dog for a year now, and he never had his nails trimmed before (he's 5). We worked up his tolerance with just clipping, but I wanted something that would get closer without cutting into the quik. First day I had the product, we spent some time letting him sniff, then turn it on, give treats, turn it off, more treats, and when I went to use it the first time, he was not bothered at all by it. Today was the third time used since purchased and I have yet to charge it. Grinder came charged in package and hasn't wavered in strength yet.

Unless you and your dog have a lot of time and patience, this doesn't have the capacity to take on dogs with longer and stronger nails. I got this for my dachshund's nails, which tend not to grow as quickly. This works okay for him since I'm usually not trimming off much, but it's not nearly as fast as the Dremel I use for my pit bull's nails. The only nice thing about the Hertzko one is it leaves the nails much more polished; the Dremel is quite rough. So now I use the Dremel first, and follow up with this one to round off the nails.

I have three small dogs that I do nail trimming for. And two of them have black nails on all or a few of their nails. This is a wonderful instead of using the nail clippers that I used to use. OMG it is wonderful. No more dog growling at me when I try to do their nails. Never had they bitten me but they can feel when the clippers get to close. And always had let me know. Now I can see how far down the nails are and adjust them as needed. I get them filed lower too which lasts longer between filing. I love this product. I've had a little over a month and I don't know about how long it will last but well worth having happy dogs. Thanks Chewy great product.

After reading all of the reviews before making this purchase, I still wondered if my 15-year-old cattle dog would let me give it a try. Nowadays he gets a prescribed sedative before going to the vet so that he doesn't totally stress out. So this first time around I gave him half the sedative, waited a few hours, and gave it a try. As long as someone petted him for distraction, and I body-blocked his view of the procedure, he did quite fine. His front nails are excessively long and back nails are worn, likely due to uneven gait because of severe arthritis in hind quarters. This allowed me to trim down the front nails to restore better balance and easier walking for the sweet old baby.

I bought this nail grinder because my Yorkie hates to have her nails cut. This grinder is easy to use and very quiet. It doesn't scare or upset my dog. It's tough to know how much nail to grind off and how often to do it. I'm just gonna take off alittle at a time and just do it more frequently.

I have a 35 lb beagle terrier mix who is ALWAYS running around outside so her nails arent that long. Last time i took her to petsmart, they filed them instead of cutting them so I thought i could do the same with this. Works better without the guard than with it. Unfortunately, it would probably take FOREVER to do her front nails alone! Neither I nor the dog has that much time or patience.

I groom dogs for a living and my own dog is terrified of the grinder at work because it’s kinda loud. This one is super quiet and being cordless allows him to lay how ever he likes. It doesn’t seem to have any way to indicate it’s power level though so that can be a headache. Over all great product for the price

My puppy is a little skittish and it was the first time doing anything to her nails and at first she was unsure of this item but she absolutely loved it laid down and held her paw out for me. I am extremely happy with it.

Great product, very quite. This machine gives you the opportunity to grind the nails from different Ángels . My concern before purchasing it was the bit is a diamond bit and does not have a replacement, however, I do not see this diamond bit being replaced anytime soon.
