A compact grinder with a smaller port that suits cats, small dogs, and puppies as well as bigger pets. A flexible household pick if you have more than one type of animal to keep tidy.
The grinder a lot of groomers reach for. A cordless rotary tool with a sanding drum that files nails smoothly, with two speeds and enough power for thick nails. The reputation for reliability is well earned.
A more powerful cordless rotary tool that handles the thickest large-breed nails with ease, with variable speed for fine control. More tool than most owners need, but the pick when nails are tough.
A rechargeable grinder with a quieter motor and a grinding port sized for different nails, at a gentler price. A popular value pick for owners introducing a nervous dog to grinding.
