Is nail grinding better for my dog? Or is it the same?

I have a small dog, a schnoodle and every time they cut his nails they've hurt him, so he's a tad traumatized. I've heard that nail grinding is better for them because cutting is so harsh on their nails is this true? Is one option better than the other? Thanks for any help!!Is nail grinding better for my dog? Or is it the same?
I don't think it is harsh but some dogs don't like it esp. if their nails are been cut too short. Sometimes grinding is a better option for some dogs %26amp; sometimes not. You have to try it to find out. You can take him %26amp; have the nails grind down by a pro first %26amp; see how he does before buying a grinder. Check out this link for instructions on how to grind nails.

Yes it is true. Trimming their nails is scary, unpleasant, and can often be painful for your pet if you cut into the quick of the nail.You can use a rotary pet nail grinder.These grinders have a filing wheel that doesn't cut the nail, just files it down.
I have a Pedipaws, and Ive used it on several dogs without any problem, so I would recommend it. You have to be careful to hold the dogs claw down against the shield, so there is less vibration, and because of the design, you can only use it in one direction, which is sometimes difficult





With the Pedipaws, I havent quicked any of the dogs, like I have with the clipper. With the clipper, quicking seems to happen once in a while, no matter how careful I am. I get rescue dogs in, and sometimes their claws are VERY long, so I am concerned about hurting them. With the Pedipaws I can shorten their claws little by little, once or twice a week.





My rat terrier freaked out over the Pedipaws, so I still clip his nails, but he is only one out of probably seven or eight dogs that didnt tolerate it. He hates grooming of any kind, and his claws were ground down when I got him, so he may have had a bad experience that I dont know about.
I bought pedi paws and my dogs hated it. it seemed that it would have worked, but it takes like 10 min for each nail, and when dogs hate it, it makes it very hard. i usually get my dogs nails clipped, but i noticed that they werent taking much nail off, so i decided to go to petsmart and get them nail grinded for the first time actually 3 days ago. It took so much more off than just nail clippers, it seemed painless, and the nails were smooth rather than razor sharp after they are clipped. I think from now on I am going to get the nail grinding
if he is already afraid i would think that a grinder might scare him, when you clip his nails make sure it isnt too close to the pink part, if it should start to bleed you can use flour or corn starch to stop it. if he isnt bleeding it probably isnt hurting him, alot of dogs dont like getting their nails clipped.
use a dremel it works the best. my mom is a groomer and that is what she uses just dont go to far or youll hit the nerve.
I have one of those pedipaws nail filers. It is really awesome. It does a better job, and it doesnt leave the jagged pieces on the nail
the whole purpose of the nail grinder is so the nails don't crack, and dont get jaged edges.
You should learn the proper way to clip your dog's nails. This should not be a terrifying experience for either of you. A drimel tool may work for you, but it depends on how well your pup responds to it. Here's a great article with more info on how to clip the nails...
