Preparing your pet for a nail trim is essential to having a good experience. It begins with creating a calm and comfortable environment. Choosing a quiet, well-lit space where you are both at ease is a great place to start. Next, letting them see, smell and have exposure to the tool before turning it on can go a long way in reducing their stress around the project.

As you know, your pet will feed off your energy. Being confident, calm and having a positive demeanor will help them acclimate more quickly. And always remember to be patient. It may require a gradual approach and multiple introductions before they’re ready for their first trim.
 

Since using a Dremel tool at home to trim their nails may be completely new, a great next step is letting them hear the noise of the tool and feel the vibration. Lastly, give them their favorite treats and praise them throughout the activity to help build their comfort around the activity. You got this!
