Normally nail trims are an extreme sport with Dolce but not today!!

@tatonka_the_gentle_giant let me borrow her cordless @dremel & diamond bits to try after the nail drill I use for my own acrylic nails wasn’t doing the job and this worked like a charm.

Not only was Dolce willing to let me file her nails, but she actually tried to relax lying down while I did it. She was still a bit shaky, but overall I’m so proud of her trust in me to dull her talons 🦅🤣

Safe to say I think we’ll be adding a cordless Dremel to our collection of dog stuff!

... Read moreTrimming a large dog's nails can often feel like a daunting task, especially when the dog is as big and energetic as a Great Dane like Dolce. Originally, I always saw nail trims as an extreme sport with her—full of resistance and anxiety. However, trying the cordless Dremel and diamond bits for the first time completely changed this experience for us. A big challenge when trimming nails is avoiding cutting the quick, which can be painful and cause bleeding. Clipper tools require a steady hand and patience, particularly when your dog is nervous and uncooperative. I actually had the unfortunate experience of cutting Dolce’s nails too short a few times before, which made me extra cautious. Using the Dremel gave me peace of mind as it gently files the nail down without the risk of cutting too close. Another benefit I observed is that the Dremel doesn’t heat up like the acrylic nail drills I use on myself, but I was still very careful to only file for a couple of seconds at a time to keep my dog comfortable. Surprisingly, Dolce seemed to relax enough to lie down while I worked on her nails, showing a lot more trust than usual. This calm behavior was really encouraging and made the entire process much easier. For anyone struggling with trimming their dog’s nails, I highly recommend trying a cordless Dremel with diamond bits. It’s a tool worth adding to your dog care arsenal—it not only makes the experience safer and less stressful for your pet but also easier for you. Pair this with a gentle and patient approach, and nail trimming can become a routine you both look forward to rather than dread. Finally, a big thank you to my friend for lending us her Dremel. If you have a large dog or one who’s uneasy about nail trims, consider borrowing or investing in a quality cordless Dremel. It’s made a notable difference in our grooming routine and could in yours too!
