Then there's a half-moon port on top of the rotary bit that lets you grind larger nails against the broader flat surface on top. Rather than having swappable bands and discs for different types of pet nails, the Casfuy instead opts for a safety guard cap with multiple 'ports.' The smallest is a narrow opening suitable for safely grinding cat and small breed dog nails. The Casfuy uses a rotary diamond bit for durable use over time. Sure, you don't have as many speed settings, and our testers preferred the safety guard on the Dremel model, but you're still getting a very high quality nail grinder at a much more affordable price.

The Casfuy Dog Nail Grinder is less than half the price of the PawControl while retaining everything you need to manage your dog or cat's nails. While our favorite pet nail grinder, the Dremel PawControl, excels at grooming tasks, it may be more grinder than most people need, especially at its high price point.

You don't need to press-the grinder does all the work.įor more guidance on how to use the Dremel PawControl Pet Nail Grinding Kit, check out our How To guide.ĭimensions: 8.25 x 2 x 0.75 inches | Blade Type: Rotary | Accessories: Transparent nail guard, sanding discs, sanding band, included wrench, charging plug and cableĬharging cable doesn't come with wall plug To trim, apply the band or disc to your dog's nail. But the PawControl has a total of four different speed settings, each accessible on an easy-to-use slider, allowing you to tackle particularly tough nails or manage large dog breeds.

It's also powerful-so powerful you'll likely never need to use any setting other than the lowest speed. The attachment is clear so you have maximum visibility. The guard has a 45-degree entry that you rest the pad of your dog's nails against, placing each nail at the right angle for grinding. In addition to the included sanding discs and band, the PawControl includes a twist-on guard that makes it easy to trim your dog's nails. It's got a rechargeable battery with nearly three hours of juice-more than enough to handle your dog's nails in one handheld session. But there are other nail grinders we also love that may work even better for your cat or dog.ĭespite its several attachments and multiple speeds, our tester still found the Dremel PawControl Nail Grinder to be straightforward and simple to use. Our favorite pet nail grinder is the Dremel 7760 PawControl Pet Nail Grinder, which operates quietly, doesn’t vibrate much, and has a rechargeable battery.

“For use at home, I recommend a grinder that has a low speed setting and low vibration so as to avoid the breaking off of nails/claws or otherwise causing injury.” “Professional nail grinders have high speeds that might cause injury to animals if used by inexperienced groomers.” Dannie Stewart, of Kelly’s Pet Boutique in East Lansing, Michigan, told The Spruce Pets. Each grinder in our test was sent to a volunteer tester's home, where they were used for months on real dogs. We also looked for beginner-friendly features like low-speed settings and nail guards that ensure you don't accidentally grind your pet's nails too far and hurt them. We tested 15 highly rated and bestselling pet nail grinders, looking for grinders that operate quietly, with minimal vibration-both factors that can determine whether or not your pet will get scared by the device. Pet nail grinders work differently than nail clippers, by filing down nails rather than cutting them.
