Pet owners throughout the country are throwing out their clippers and filing their pets’ nails with automatic grinders or files that are much less invasive. But beware! These products are definitely not all alike.
Buyer beware. A small drill-type tool called a dremel is used for sanding, grinding, cutting or drilling – and sometimes for pet grooming.
But think twice if you choose to use a dremel type tool on your pets’ nails for many reasons:
Your pets’ hair can get caught around the sander drum stem. It’s painful for your pet – and for you when you try to untangle your poor animal.
The noise and vibration can frighten your pets as much or more than clipping.
Your pet simply can’t tell you when the sander has hit a vein in the nail – until he or she yells out in pain.
There is a solution to your dog grooming needs. Peticure makes a soft rotary filer with a guard that goes on the end, making it much safer and easier to use and control.
Paws down, the Peticure guard beats the dremel in lots of ways:
· It eliminates projectile debris. The Peticure guard takes the debris out of the eyes of both you and your pet.
· It eliminates the possibility of hair winding in the bit.
· The guard removes any chance of accidental abrasion.
· And because the nail is held still by the guard on the drum, there’s no bumping and skipping.
