LuckyTail Dog Nail Grinder, Whisper-Quiet, Low-Vibration Trimmer with Light

I have toy poodles who are not happy about their nails being clipped and between myself and the dogs you can nearly see the stress levels rising as I try to clip their nails, I’m alway worried that I will cut them.This has changed things, we are all much more relaxed and if they move suddenly I know that I’m not going to hurt them. Yes it works well a little slower than the old clippers but so much easier.I started slowly just grinding a little on each nail, they soon became more relaxed as did I.This is a great product low noise, easy to use , two speed and you can get replacement grinding wheels if you need.

I am going to attempt to offer a comparison of the various dog nail grinders since we have purchased several over the years.First of all, The video makes it sound louder than it is in real life. This thing is SO QUIET and has NO vibration and is incredibly lightweight!I was extremely skeptical because we have been through so many nail grinders for our dogs including an actual Dremel, a Pedipaw, and the Oster brand. Up until now, the Oster was our favorite but the protective cover makes it extremely hard to get your dogs nails into the openings. There are 3 openings on the cover but none of them are the right size AND the cover is so far away from the grinding wheel that you really have to separate and shove the dogs toes down into the holes. If you take the cover off, it can grab hair around the spinning head and yank it out, which is also the danger with the Dremel. They are also bulky and hard to hold. You also have to hold the tool facing one direction otherwise the nail jumps and catches on the spinning wheel making it painful to the dogs. So, it is fine when you're doing one side of their feet but it's so hard to try to hold the tool facing one direction under their belly in order to get the other side of their feet. The spinning head also overheat the dogs nail really fast, which creates pain and heat quickly. You have to bounce it on and off so that the nail doesn't get too hot.This machine is very lightweight! VERY quiet, and has almost no vibration.We have 4 dogs. 2 are small Yorkies and 2 are large rough collies. We needed something that could handle both.The protective cover on this machine is open enough to accommodate both sizes of nails with an opening on top of the spinner for the small dogs nails also without having to hold their toes so far apart and shoving the nail down through a hole like the other machines. The cover is very close to the grinding wheel so you don't have to separate the toes. Taking off the protective cover is not safe with Yorkies that have long hair. If it bounces and grabs any hair, it WILL rip it out with the other machines. So this one is nice because the cover can be on but it is closely set to the spinner that you can reach very tiny nails into it. The cover is removable also, but it isn't necessary to remove it in order to reach the nails.The opening on the top, flat side of the spinner is designed to fit small dogs nails and hold them in place. It works extremely well and it makes it so that you can hold the machine facing directly towards the nails so you don't have to worry about the spinner spinning in the wrong direction and you don't have to hold it strangely and uncomfortably in one direction under the belly to reach the feet on their left sides. My little dogs would rather pull their legs out of socket than get their nails trimmed so it's always been a huge fight. But this machine is very fast, very quiet, with almost no vibration at all. It is smooth as silk and very, very fast. You don't have to push much and it is so fast that you don't get the heat built up from friction like we did with the other grinders. The dogs allowed us to grind their nails with very little argument.The opening on the protective cover on the side of the grinding wheel is large enough to do our big dogs nails. You can spin the cover around so that the opening is in a place that makes the grinder easy to hold. It also made quick work of grinding their nails as well. With the larger dogs without long hair, the cover can be removed also.The grinding wheel ground down the nails on both large and small dogs very quickly, smoothly, and without excessive friction heat. Since it is quiet with very little vibration, the noise doesn't have them all running to hide before we even began. They all tolerated it very well. It didn't create vibration in their feet so they were much less nervous and frightened.One final feature that I didn't expect to matter at all is the light. I didn't think that the light would do anything but it actually shines through the nail and helps you see where the quick is, which is a major benefit and more valuable than just having the area lightened up.Grinding our dogs nails has always been a huge fight and miserable for the dogs but this makes the job much more comfortable, quiet, and quick. Having the openings in the protective cover so close to the grinding wheel, having it rotate to help you get a good angle no matter where you are holding your dog, the quickness and smooth grinding, the light weight of the whole machine, and the light make this worth the extra $10.I'm SO impressed and SOOOO HAPPY and so are my dogs! Excellent machine so far.There are extra soft abs extra hard grinding wheels available for replacement which isn't necessary but I think I will buy them to make the job even faster. Absolutely excellent product that I'm very glad I found! I would highly recommend it!

MUCH better than using clippers.My dog was never completely terrified of clippers but she is definitely not one to cooperate when it came time to clip her nails.Worrying about clipping her quick (which I did on a couple of her nails over time) made her apprehensive.I had it out running to get her used to the sound and let her smell it and let her know it wasn’t a bad thing.The noise, which is less than an electric shaver, made her inquisitive but not afraid.After a few uses of the grinder, she is slowly coming around and isn’t scared of it.She’s still not happy that I have to do her nails but with the light shining through her nails, you know exactly where to stop grinding to avoid the quick. So helpful!Less stress for her & me.She sits quietly and licks my hands or arms (which I abhor! lol) while I’m trying to get the best position for the light which works on both side of the rotatable grinder cap.Definitely NEVER using hard clippers again.If your dog hates clipping time or you’ve given them PTSD because of errant quick cutting, switch to a grinder.PS. Go easy and don’t do one nail all at once due to the added friction which will raise the temperature of the nail and quick which will cause your dog even more discomfort.

Watch video it speaks for its self hope this helps this is more expensive than some but some times it’s true you only get what you pay for well I did it’s worth every penny

Item is described as medium to large pets, it's a lie, it doesn't do the job it is designed to do. Large nails take very long to file and small nails get caught under the guard. I've had better grinders for a ⅕ of the price both performance and noise pollution
