    Default Best Dremel model for nails

    I'd like to buy a Dremel for my pup's nails. I have a nail grinder made specifically for dogs, but it doesn't work well. I've heard the Dremel for dog nails doesn't work well. I'd prefer not to get all of the extra bits, because I just want to use it for my dog's nails. What model do you think is best?

    I've tried a couple of these made for dogs. They don't work as well as a professional Dremel. I'm looking for the best model.

    I have tried MANY models and believe the Dremel MiniMite to be the best. It is compact, inexpensive ($25), cordless, simple to use, durable, fairly quiet, powerful, and readily available at Sears, Amazon, etc. It has two speeds "low" for touching up nails after trimming, or "high" for making short work of longer nails without trimming. I believe they have a special pet-branded model but as far as I see they are the exact same, the only difference being one has a paw-print decal on it. We use them at our vet clinic, several times a day, for many months and it has not failed yet.
