Dremel 7300-PT 4.8V Cordless Pet Dog Nail Grooming & Grinding Tool, Easy to Use, Rechargeable, Safely Trim Pet & Dog Nails

I purchased the Dremel 7300 PT for pets more than a decade ago and between two Yorkshire dogs, I am now only ordering my 3rd battery as my last and only Yorkie is 16 years old. This has been one of the best purchases I made for the dogs. I saw the updated version of this, and regardless of its updates, this 7300 PT is so much more beautifully designed. I loved it years ago, so I ordered a second one as a backup, which is still new in the box, as the first one has outlasted two dogs for more than a decade. I may not have needed a third battery if I had not let the battery go dead and left it on charging for extended periods of time. It is one splendid product. I hope the visual design returns in the next update.

I just received this in the mail yesterday. I feel so dumb for not buying this years ago. It is amazing. Here’s what I have:3 chihuahuas(all<8) and 1 short legged jack Russell(25 lb)Okay of my dogs two we never cut their nails. They are rescues and hate it. Plus they have black nails. But one ripped off his dew claw and my heart broke. So we had to find a way. Now understand I have tried treats, training and peanut butter etc. I guess I just don’t know what I’m doing because I cannot get those dogs comfortable with having their nails cut. Now with the dremel, they still freak out. But it’s faster and safer. So I had to hold them against the bed and my body and cover their eyes while talking and petting them comfortingly, like when they get their temp taken at the vet, while hubby did the nails with the dremel. It was so much easier. I tried to give them treats but they weren’t having it until it was all over. I hate having to do it, but the alternative is nails getting ripped off because they are too long, so I have to say this is the best way to go for us. Plus they aren’t rough and sharp post trim which is a huge plus.Ok the two other dogs, one is a chihuahua who I have had since he was a baby. Hated his nails cut but I used treats and positive re enforcement that worked with him. He is way better now. As long as I hold him and stuff treats in his mouth he lets daddy cut or dremel no issues. Idk why my training worked for him and not for the other dogs, but it is nice to have a dog who is easy about nail trims. Now the Russell. He use to be the same way. Treats or no treats, he use to let us do anything to his paws. But one day my husband cut his quick on two different nails. He never again let us touch his paws without actually trying to bite. Unlike the chihuahuas if he bites that’s gonna do some damage. So I started training him. He lets us touch his paws again but won’t stand clippings. So we used the dremel. At first he reacted very badly and I had to hold him, similar to the vet idea I described above. But since he snapped I had to hold his muzzle, finally he calmed down and after a while he didn’t mind the dremel at all. He realized it didn’t hurt and I was able to let go of his muzzle. He still wouldn’t take any treats until we were done, but I think in the next few weeks I can train him to be comfortable with it all, just getting him use to the dremel and his paws being touched while holding the dremel etc.So I know this is a long review but I wanted to be thorough. The dremel is not going to be immediately loved by all dogs. Currently we are in a pandemic. I am not trying to give my dogs to any one or place for a simple nail cut right now. And they fight me, what will they do to strangers? So...with love patience take training this dremel let me cut their nails and I don’t have to risk their little nail falling off because they are too long. Yes it could take two people, and I have tiny dogs! If you have a dog that puts up a fight, I do think the dremel is the way to go, but don’t expect them to automatically not put up a fight. You may need to train them to be comfortable with the dremel and having their paws “played with” before you actually cut. If your dogs nails aren’t as long as my dogs were, I say take your time and train them right. You won’t regret it. The dremel itself is fast and easy to use. I have tried imitation ones before and as soon as they touch the nail they stop rotating. It’s just a Waste. And the dogs really can’t stand those. Not to mention they take way too long to take the nail length down. This one is so fast and safe. Easy to charge and maintain. So if you have dogs that are rescues and you have no idea why they hate nail cuts, or you have one who has had their quick cut too often, so you can’t cut their nails at all, try the dremel, but know it may not be all peaches and cream as you use it. You may need to bribe them like a toddler in a grocery store during the evening rush just before dinner time and you just want to get home. “Fine have the candy bar!” But I digress.

My first ever pet dremel model. The groomers OG model. Hard to find now a days, but this is also a late review. Did the job, still have it for my dogs who are scared of the loud new models.

Wow, this is a GREAT tool for doing dog nails! We recently adopted an 80lb 3 y/o Labradoodle who hates going to the groomer (plus it's super expensive) and hates having his feet touched. I bathe him at home once a week and want to start trimming his nails on my own too but frankly it sacred me to death because he's got really long quicks. I decided to buy this and try it out. Once my dog got used to it (it took a few tries and lots of treats for him to get comfortable letting me use it on him for all his feet) it is SO EASY to use and works amazingly well and FAST! I use it on the high setting and it really isn't very loud at all. It only takes 5-10 seconds per nail on that setting, at least in my experience. Here are a few tips based on my trial and error:It came in the box with some charge but I highly recommend you charge it fully before using it for the first time so it doesn't die half way through a foot.If you're overwhelmed by the manual, don't worry, you're not alone. There is one Dremel tool manual that tells you practically nothing about the nail trimming aspect and is more about Dremel tool use in general. Skip that and go straight for the smaller manual that talks specifically about using it to cut your pets nails.I was very confused as to how to insert the rod that holds the sanding drum into the tool itself and couldn't find anywhere in either manual that specifically discussed how to do it (because the way it comes, the hole is too small). Finally I figured out through some messing around that you hold down the blue button on the front to lock the rod in place, then you can twist the mechanism until the hole widens enough to insert the rod and then twist to tighten again.The easiest way to do this is to get your pet to lay on their side and I HIGHLY recommend doing this outdoors.Don't spend more than 3 seconds on each nail at once and don't push or it gets hot and causes irritation to the dog. Just touch the sanding drum to the nail and it will do the work for you. You don't need to push!Be patient. If your dog won't have anything to do with it on the first try, don't give up! Repeated gentle exposure and treats work wonders! It's totally worth the adjustment/training period!Last but not least, don't be afraid of it!! If you're afraid of it, your dog will be afraid of it. There is nothing to worry about, trust me! This is such a quick and painless and safe way to cut your dogs nails. I didn't cut a single quick on my first use. This thing will really pay for itself quickly (no pun intended) and If I can do it, you can do it!I did NOT receive this for free or at a discount! I hope this helps someone else.
