The Dremel PawControl 7760 is a small cordless rotary tool made for filing pet nails. Instead of cutting, it sands the nail down a bit at a time, with a guide to help hold the nail at the right angle.
Who it suits
Owners of dogs or cats that hate clippers, dogs with thick nails, and anyone who wants smoother nail edges. Pets usually need a few short sessions to get used to the sound before a full trim.
