Grinding (Black) Dog Nails - Demo at

Curious about how to grind dog nails / dog claws? Let’s talk about it - and show you how it’s done! Our little model, Slilaf, is not only a bit squirmy, he also has long black dog nails that we are going to grind down using a rotating sanding tool - often called by its trademark, a Dremel - to get those nails short and smooth. We are going to go over Safety Considerations and Types of Tools before going into a close-up demonstration of how to properly grind down (file / sand) those black dog nails. Hope this helps!

Super helpful!!
Moistening the paw fur is such a great tip! And snuggling the dog up as you grind looks like a good way to comfort and stabilize at the same time.
He looks so reproachful every time you touch him 😂 Adorable 🥰

Thank you for this great video!! May I ask a question, please ... here goes. I bought the Andis battery nail grinder near the end of 2023; I also bought the grinder head replacement package. Before I ordered, I called Andis and asked if it would be a good idea for me to also buy the replacement package (I asked if the pink heads would be helpful for me as my dog was small and has really small nails, and if I could use the pink heads / the answer was yes). * * Things got very busy, so I had a local groomer trim my gal's nails (but when she is done, my dog's nails do not looked trimmed hardly at all). So, back to me trying to keep her nails trimmed. Sorry for all the words!! My question is -- my Andis nail grinder did not come with a tiny wrench; I did not see a wrench to buy on Andis; nor on a web search; nor on YT. Where can I buy a mini wrench to change out the heads? Sorry for being so wordy!! Thank you so much!!!

Hi there, you are not wordy at all and it's a great question! After your comment, I ran down to my salon and got my Andis grinder and my bit kit that came with it, and yes, there is a little wrench in the pack. Sorry that yours did not come with one! But the good news is that although I have the wrench, I have never needed to use it. To change out sanding bits, I push the blue lock/release button while turning the bit casing counter clockwise, and it just loosens up by using my fingers. I then replace the bit with the one I want (put the stalk into the casing assembly) and then screw it back on the device, push the blue button and tighten it clockwise. I think the wrench could be a handy tool if the casing really got stuck, but I have not seen that happen, not with the Dremels I've used, the Osters, nor the Andis. So, I think you'll be good without the wrench! I found a video that mentions the wrench at around the 3 min mark, but again, I have not found any need for it myself. ruclips.net/video/ijTP8m4G-so/видео.htmlsi=WMqBBNqlt9JqdWsA Hope that helps and thanks for your question!
