Yes. I use the grinder on Toto. Remember I got one for Uni years ago? She hated it and I think I returned it. Well when I started fostering Toto, he came with a TON of stuff and one thing was a nail grinder. He didn't mind me trimming his nails with a clipper, but once we had an accident. I sit on the (closed) toilet and flip him on his back. But once I nicked his quick, he squirmed and screamed and fell out of my lap and landed on his head on the tile floor. So after that I used the grinder and he's totally fine with it.

I have to do his nails quite often bc he has the dew claw, and also both pinky nails/toes on his front paws are deformed. They set back, like they are missing a joint so those never touch the ground just like a dew claw.

Uni hates getting her nails cut so I guess the good thing about her pulling on her leash is she files her own nails. I never have to cut them and they are only about 1/4"-3/16" long.
