Oster Gentle Paws Premium Dog & Cat Nail Grinder, Blue

This tool is not too loud so it doesn't scare my dogs, and it works pretty fast so they don't have to 'suffer' for so long. I like that the plastic cap can come off if I need more freedom, but the cap does serve as a nice guide so you don't cut their nails to short. The ONLY critique is that you can't press super hard or else the dremel will stop spinning because of the pressure. Otherwise, definitely recommend for skiddish pups!

This is the second time I have purchased this dog nail grinder. I wore the first one completely out. Have 4 Poms. And 2 of then hate regular nail Clippers so I gave this a try. Love it. Was glad to get my new one!!! Much safer than regular Clippers. No accidents with this, can't cut to much nail off.

bought the nail grinder, inserted batteries, would not turn on. changed batteries. still would not turn on. took back to the store. bought another one. inserted the batteries, would not turn on, changed batteries, would not turn on. returned to store. don't know if it's a good product or not. wouldn't turn on.

I bought this cause my dog hates his nails cut and this is the worst nail grinder I have ever used. It might work on cats but it's horrible for dogs. Very disappointed

This item wasn't especially easy to get set up/change the grinder but once it was working it was ok. Not especially strong but was "fine." After less than 3 months, however, it broke. The little screw that holds the rubber pad and sand paper on came off and I can't find it. Very disappointing, seems to be a cheap product and now I've wasted money on it and still ended up buying a namebrand Dremel in the end. (Good news is, my dog didnt love his nails being trimmed but was ok about it, so at least this is easier than clippers).

As soon as I opened the box me and my dog got excited and I pulled the nail trimmer out and put batteries inside I started trimming her nails and she started trying to bite me which was not her and everytime I turn it on now she runs and hide in her kennel. This nail trimmer isn't good for all dogs.

I had some trouble at first because the grinding head kept flying off, even with the screw tightened fully. I worked out that it has to be used grinding in one direction against the nail—so not from both sides of the nail. Once I switched to grinding from one side only, it stayed in place. Also the guide seemed to get in the way, so I removed it and had much more success using the grinder.

In other reviews I disreguarded the problems with unit, but have received the same broken items as other owners. There is ONLY one working speed the other does NOT work as other reviews have stated.

I bought this a few years back when all of the groomers in my small town were too overbooked to get a nail grind done. I figured for the price of one nail grind, I could get the grinder and do it myself and save some money by doing it on my own moving forward. It served it's purpose, but I wouldn't recommend it. 1. Messy - Because of all the holes in the guard, nail dust falls out the other side making a mess everywhere. 2. Not Enough Power - I have a medium (45 lb) dog, so maybe this would be better suited for smaller dogs, but when I press his nail against the grinding end, I can hear the motor slowing down a lot due to the slight resistance. 3. Short Battery Life - I use Duracell I bought this a few years back when all of the groomers in my small town were too overbooked to get a nail grind done.

LS;DR - Good for occasional use, but overall wouldn't recommend. … more

It is a great tool, however, my cat would have nothing to with it! It terrified him! So my other family members will use it for their dog. Hopefully!
