Rechargeable Electric Dog and Cat Nail Grinder with 2 Speeds

Instead of clipping, this grinder files a nail down with a spinning emery head. The head is 150 mesh and the handle is ABS plastic, a slim white body topped with a black cap that holds the grinding port. The product images show three port options sized for small, medium and large pets, and a removable white cap covers the head when it is not in use.

There are two speeds: setting 1 runs at 5,500 rpm and setting 2 at 7,700 rpm, so you can start slow with a nervous pet and move up if needed. The body measures 1.26 x 1.26 x 5.43 in (3.2 x 3.2 x 13.8 cm) and weighs 3.46 oz (98.2 g). A built-in 500 mAh battery charges through a USB cable in about 3 hours at 5 V, 1 A, and the manufacturer figure for use time is about 3 hours per charge.

Hold the grinder against the nail at an angle, a little at a time, and stop to look at the nail often so you do not take off too much. Let your pet sniff and hear it before the first use, and keep sessions short with treats nearby. It is a handheld tool for owners who are comfortable handling paws, so ask a groomer for a demonstration if you have never filed nails before. Brush the dust from the head after each use.
