Electric Pet Nail Grinder with On/Off Switch

Instead of cutting, this handheld grinder files a pet's nails down with a spinning sandpaper head. The head has an opening sized for a pet nail: you slide the nail in so it touches the sandpaper, and the motor sands it back, leaving the end rounded and smooth. It works on both dogs and cats.

A single on/off switch controls it, so there is nothing to program. The body is made of plastic, and the slim, pen-like shape sits easily in one hand. It is described as best for pets that do not get a lot of exercise, because their nails tend to grow longer without natural wear.

Take your time the first few sessions. Let your pet see and hear the grinder before you use it, offer a treat, and file only a little at a time. Work in good light so you can see the nail clearly, and stop for the day if your pet gets stressed. The grinder weighs roughly 7.5 oz (214 g), and its package measures about 10.2 x 6.3 x 1.8 inches (260 x 160 x 45 mm). Keep hair and debris away from the head, and wipe the plastic body with a dry cloth after each session. Replace the sandpaper when it wears down.
