I bought a dremel last month ($30 from Chewy.com) and I'm Very much enjoying it; far less stressful than clipping. Gertie rolls over onto her back and puts her head in my lap while I file away her claws. She's got über long quicks so it's taking a lot of time to get her nails short, but we'll do it. Abbi sits in my lap, but is trickier with her arthritis and black claws (most of Gertie's are clear). She tolerates it far better than clipping, though. I do Abbi's when the husband isn't home because his nervousness makes Abbi nervous and then it's an annoying thing instead of enjoyable. Both girls are relaxed by the time I'm finished. I tried Momo today and that was a big ol' Nope in his book. As usual, he's the tough nut to crack. Armed with Zuke's minis, and many baby steps (touching his paw, treat, touching the dremel to his paw, treat, barely touching the dremel to his claw while it's on, treat), I'm now easily able to touch his nails with the dremel turned off. When it's on he's not so sure and we've had to backstep a couple times, but we're talking a 10-minute session so he was coming around quickly. The battery ran out when the Zuke's did so we'll try another day to see how much further we can get. He's such an intense boy - nothing is done halfway with him.
