Waste of Money
While in theory this Dremel should work great, in reality it does not. I have 4 Golden Retrievers so finding a better way to trim nails was very important to me. Not only does it take FOREVER to trim the nails with the Dremel, it also chews up batteries. I used 2 sets (4 each) just to trim my 4 dogs. I didn't even get the nails as short as I wanted to and ended up using a standard nail trimmer and sand paper. If this tool was electric, then I think it wouldn't be too bad. It did trim the nails, but at a very, very slow rate. It really was a waste of money and my time.

My dog votes "no"
This item "works" but my dog does not like it - after a month of trying to get him used to it, he still won't let me file his nails with it. I will keep trying but I'm not optimistic.

Not so great on big dogs
My medium-sized dog was scared by the noise so I don't know how well it would have worked on him; for my larger dog's nails, it did not seem powerful enough to grind them down effectively. Even with the coarsest grinding wheel, it took a long time to do each nail and even then I was worried about the amount of "heat" building up from the friction. I regularly get her nails ground at the vet and no issues there, so perhaps the portable home-use variety is just an option for the small dogs with thinner nails.

My Boston Terrier loves her new Dremel!
My Boston Terrier, Maggie, used to run away from me when I got the nail clippers out. She would pull away and sometimes cause me to cut closer to the quick than I should. Now she lays in my arms while I file her nails. It doesn't hurt her and I don't have to worry about cutting them too close, or splitting them.

Dog Nail Grooming
I love this product much better than the one on the commercial. It doesn't leave it with a sharp edge like the commercial kind, recommend to everyone with a dog or cat.
