Bought a DREMEL and LOVE it!!! - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

That one is far different from the Dremel I got or the Pedipaws. I am going to read above to see what model you got as this one doesn't seem as drastic as either of mine, though Tibbe lets me use both of them. I just stopped the Dremel when it caught in his fur and rolled up into his tummy. I thought it had killed him or something. We changed to Pedipaws but it still seems to sound louder and faster than your Dremel. I just don't have the guts to use nailclippers anymore.

I bought the Dremel 7700. I believe it is considered a "mini Dremel". There has been some good advise on this thread about using a nylon stocking to poke the nails through and contain any hair to avoid the hair winding up in the dremel. I think this is a good idea to avoid entanglement

yorkietalkjilly · 04-20-2012, 04:39 AM

Thanks for the model #! I tried but I just couldn't get Tibbe's nails through the nylon. They wouldn't poke through on their own - he's just got little noodles for toes. And he just hated it once I poke holes in the stockings & tried for force each of his little toes through the prepoked holes. It frustated him more than anything. So I just wrap him in a towel to try to keep his little belly/chest hair from catching. I'm going to see about getting your model of Dremel to make it even easier for him. I could not go back to nailclippers to save my life. I'm too chicken.

I don't know if Mojo was traumatized by some nail clipping experience that I am unaware of somehow, but he will literally scream when we try to clip his nails. He screams when the vet tech does it, too. I can play with his toes all I want, but as soon as the clippers come out, he bolts. I actually think I'm going to go buy this today. Wish me luck!

Thank goodness you posted a link I had this one on my watch list same one almost twice as much!!!

Where did you find the 7700 we are both looking at the 7300-N/8 I can't ind an explanation in the difference in noise online.
I'm wondering if one is quieter than another-anyone know?

jadabug · 04-22-2012, 03:01 AM

I ordered the 7700 model from Amazon for $44.00 and was in Walmart Wednesday morning and they have it for $39.88

My shipment came in on Friday and I tried it on Bogie Friday night. He was a really good boy. I was being very careful but his long leg hair caught

Thank GOD that I got it turned of immediately and it didn't wind around the post and hurt him. I couldn't get his nails through the pantyhose either and tried to think what to do.
I debated putting his jammies on every time I use it, but that would be a PITA so I happened to think, I had ordered 4 pairs of socks for Jada to wear when she is itchy and those suckers are huge. I cut the toe out of one of the socks and they are long enough that they cover all of the long hair on the legs(my babies are shaved on their bodies and bellies

It worked so well....except for Jada, she went wild when I put the sock on her foot

I think I should have took Bogie into another room to do his nails, because she was sitting next to us watching....poor little thing probably thought I was killing her brother

here is a pic of Bogie with the sock on his foot before I cut the toe out...Photo04201909 (356x475).jpg

I think the 7300 is probably fine. It has a smaller motor but that won't necessarily make it quieter. It could take slightly longer to file is all. It looks a little lighter which is nice (the one I have is solid bodied and the 7300 looks hollow in the center of the handle)

If you happen to have larger dogs in the house as well or would ever consider using this tool for more than just nails, I would go with the 7700 but overall you can't beat $20!

Great idea. I keep Tibbe's hair clipped shorter now so we don't have to worry as much about it but I still put a thin towel over him and take out only one leg at a time, just so I don't get toenail dust all over him and myself. I take him out on the back porch to file also so the dust doesn't fly all over the furniture. I sit on the back porch in the sun which is usually warm, put him on my lap and he pretty much relaxes in the sun as he knows the sessions will be short and he gets to be distracted by the smells & sounds of the outside & he gets a treat & hugs after. Still, if I get the nail filed too close & near the quick, he gets fidgety for the next couple of sessions so I keep those even shorter. Overall, it's so much less stressful than using the nailclipper. I am just a wuss with those.

I used the Dremel on Curri Bee

yesterday.

For a baby (6 months) she did great! She wouldn't help me out by laying in an accessible position

but she wasn't scared at all

jadabug · 04-29-2012, 10:05 AM

I put the bigger sanding disc on mine today and love it better than the small one. Bogie does great getting his done...Jada the tigress is another story. This morning I decided a 5lb dog was not going to get the best of me. I put her on my lap, and on her back and she started started fighting me. I calmly told her no..and kept holding on to her foot. The first paw as a struggle, but when she realized I wasn't going to give in, she was still for the last 3 paws.
I LOVE IT!! Much better than nail clippers!!

I am so GLAD that you TAMED the TIGRESS!!! She seems a little uncertain at heart which is why she projects and protects so much

I love the bigger sanding disc much better too. I felt a little uncertain using your on Friday with the smaller disc. Seems counter intuitive but it works

I think you are right..no telling what she went through the first 2 1/2 years of her life..I also went to youtube and listened to the dogs you were telling me about...and it does sound like Jada's little tiny bark

I'm sorry

I know this is a old thread but I'm in the process of purchasing a grinder. I'm trying to decide between Dremel 7700 and 7300. Does anyone know if one is quieter than the other? Also, for the 7700, it comes with other grits/finishes. Which ones do you use on your yorkie? For 7700, low speed is at 10,000 rpm... Is this too strong for a 5.5 lbs yorkie? I'd appreciate any feedback! Thanks!

I use the Dremel 7700 and the low setting is perfect.

I have the pedi paws and I am thinking of getting a dremel as well. The pedi paws just takes too long.

Poor Ricky has curly nails and if they get too long, they end up getting stuck in his beard when he scratches. I just had to trim them last night and he hates his feet touched.
