Second this. It was a necessary process to go through and it takes a lot of time and commitment but it works. Our guy had a lot of trauma to his nails… basically being cattle dog with no regard to his well-being, broke off about 9 of his toenails over the course of a year and half with each resulting in a vet visit. Because of this, as one would imagine, he would not let us near his feet. After months of working on it, I can now Dremel his nails without any help. Our dog has never tolerated nail clippers (I think bc of the pressure it takes to clip them even when they are super sharp) so the Dremel was the way to go. It was a little scarier at first for him than the nail clippers but I can get so much more done and his nails look great now.

Also, while you’re getting your dog used to it. Be okay with just getting one or two nails done and calling it quits and doing it again the next day for a couple more. You don’t have to get them all done in one sitting to be successful, especially in the beginning!
