I have a 7FC blade and have no idea what FC stands for, or even just plain F. Can someone help me with that, please?

Because of a knee injury, my dogs quicks have grown to the point the vet will not trim her nails. I’ve tried grinding them myself but it’s like a WWE wrestling match to get her to allow it. Short of making her comatose, what can I do to get her more calm during those sessions?

Loved this video I never know what to ask for with the grooming and you have explained it so clearly thank you

I realize this video is old, but you've givin me so much hope for my 2 year old GSD...life immediately happened 4 months after I got him and his nails have gotten too long. Finally got him to except the nail trimmers (really is a great dog), but yeah...his nails scare me...seeing this tells me to find the nearest groomer and have this done...thank you.

I use a lickmat with peanut butter spread on it to distract my dogs while trimming their nails. They now compete to be first up for nail rimming time rather than dreading it.

Thank you!

Thanks for this video, ordering that Ovatavo bit. Been using the regular sandpaper ones with the Dremel, trying to get a nice smooth rounded nail from a flat surface in a short amount of time is very difficult!

My last dog, who was 5 years old when I adopted him, a) was an 85lb scaredy-cat, and b) had jet black nails that were slightly overgrown. The “snap” of nail cutters scared him, and of course with the nails being solid black, there was no way to see the quick. So I got a dremel and that didn’t scare him at all, so I just “filed” his nails with the dremel a little bit every week or two. I got them to a nice, short length that was safer for him when running around in the woods. It was years ago, so I don’t remember how long it took, but it wasn’t that long. (Unfortunately he fell ill suddenly and had to be put down a year and a half after I got him. So less than a year for sure, probably under six months.)

Thanks for sharing this helpful video! Do you clip before you use the Dremel, or do you prefer to just Dremel & grind down the dog's nail without clipping?

Sixth time watching ❤️💪one dog down, one to go🤞❤️❤️

I posted a Q after watching a third video. This answered it. You are a rock star! Thank you so much.

I’ve just watched 3 of your videos. They have been super helpful! My only question is how do I know when I’m getting close to the quick with black nails?

Sharing this with a hopeful groomer who will do the work! Then i will try to keep up🥰bought the “doggie dremel”💪🤞

Asked you to make a video on black nails, found one you made already!

You are great at explaining but could you do a short video showing large overgrown black nails? I purchased a dremel and want to do a good job on my dog’s nails but 90% of them are jet black and I just want to make the experience was as positive as can be. Thank you!

Our boys quicks dont seem to go back regardless of cutting the ends regularly hes also got a black linw going through them so its hard to tell where the quick is 😐

Your dog is so calm. My dog jerks her head around and starts snapping at my hands. What should I do?

Ryan's Pet Supplies has sharpened those 5 in 1 blades for me many times. They even provide a mailer box for blades so you can ship them in and they'll ship them back. The box holds many blades so you can send in your regular blades too. Great service.

Loved the video, I would have like to know what attachment you are using with the Dremel

💪❤️love you have human babies too❣️they are lucky🥰🥰

If I wanted to start doing grooming house calls, how would you suggest I trim nails without a grooming table?

Various degrees of tolerance….yeah mine is at a zero! Takes two grown men to hold her down. Shes 17 lbs! 😂

So glad to see you have human babies to care for too❤️🤗they are lucky to have you❣️

You are a rock star! Like when you start any business, there is jealousy. See stray dogs nails and pain (or horses or any..) and think it’s not needed. Grateful for you 🐶❣️

Best work🏆where are you? How much for full nail treatment? I don’t think many take the care and work you do! If you are not near, I will start emailing groomers with your video attached💪🤗❤️

Thank you

I'm going back weekly for a while and the quick doesn't seem to change on the front paws.

Thank you so much for this video! I recently adopted a greyhound and took him to the vet for his first nail trim- his quicks are really long so they advised to do frequent but small trims every 3-5 days but without any further instructions or explanation. My grey tolerates the dremel just fine and now I have a bit more confidence in how to use it to help him and get those quicks receding so he can get back to his regularly scheduled zoomies!

For the catastrophic. I was working on abandoned house and looked over the fence and here was this mud ball of a dog Hood made a trench around a tree. I asked the owners and they said take him. He was supposed to be a pet for the child who was allergic to it I took it to the vet for cleanup and shots. I had never even considered toenails. The pup turned out to be a Lhasa Apso. This breed grows hair it'll touch the floor in a week. Nails are the same consistency is hair. The dog's nails were so long they rolled under the pad. This was 60 years ago so he was an old vet he grabbed the dog and just cut him off to where you couldn't see them anymore and then dunk the Hope huh in a cup of white antiseptic or flour. That's the old school and you're not going to find anything better. Turning a page my Pyrenees grows hair and toenails very rapidly but it's my pup that I'm determined to chase the quick. I have wasted a lot of money on grinders. As a machinist Google Amazon dog nail grinder. It's blue in color and comes with a cutter which I originally decided had the right angle amongst all these and you could engage the toll without the dog trying to rip out of the triangle holder mechanism that most of the blades have. Model y a b i f e God bless you guys and remember to vote out anybody who got us into this murderous War pattern

Thank you for posting! My bully is so patient when I do his nails, but both of us were getting tired of doing them 2-3 times per week. I'm gonna cut back to weekly and see how we manage ❤

Thank you for such a helpful video! You make ear plucking look so easy.

I have a dremel I inherited but have never used. Now I know what to buy to use it on my pup, thank you!

Thank you for sharing the details of cleaning the blade. Also your experience with mailing them back in.

Amazing! How to get to see the quick without risk of clipping it❤️❤️🥳💪- are you in socal?🤣i may drive to you❤️🤗

This is an excellent video with good camera angles and everything. Best on the net. Thank you!

I'm more confused than ever...it would be better if you explained one or the other.

Fantastic explanation, learned so much.

You ARE enough!

Love it, watched 3 times, those 2 are happy dogs.

You have the best demos! Verbal instructions are clear and compliment your great photos. Thankyou.

I'm thinking maybe because the dog was older his nails and quick were more slow growing than normal. I'm trying to clip my pekengnese who is older to a normal length and we both hate it because I accidentally got his quick 2x (the black nails) but his nails were so long they began to twist so I'm doing them every 2 weeks until it's the right length and so far they are a lot better... thank you for the encouragement! I'm watching as many as I can so I can get better at clipping his nail. ❤

That ball managed to last longer than the one I gave my Lab/Aussie/Border Colllie mix. They have so much fun with those balls! 😁

This video was very helpful,Thank you! Good clear visuals. The metal “seating” piece on my brand new clippers was mashed down so I used a flathead screwdriver as you suggested to pop it back into place. 😊

OMG one of the most applicable and life enhancing videos I’ve seen. The drawing at the end i found confusing compared to the rest of the video so it is good it came at the end as the angles and how far to go were covered perfectly in begining of video.

What blade did you use for the top of the feet? Thank you!

Which dremel do you recommend? I have 3 whippets who are not overly thrilled when I have to dremel their nails.

A dremel? It cost a few dollars to have someone that knows how without wounding the poor guy.

I have a long hair chihuahua that I've always taken to the groomer, but I just can't afford a $120 every month. I have an almost silent dremel tool that also has a bright light to see the quick. My question is, does it matter in what direction you dremel? Thank you and God bless all the furbabies and those who love them 👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯
