quiet dremel?

bkzoo · Oct 7, 2014

I think I saw someone say that a cordless dremel is quieter than the corded ones. My dremel is ancient, but still works fine on Toby's nails. It frightens Baker so I'm thinking if I could find a quieter version that would help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

My dremmel is cordless but it still makes noise. I found when introducing a puppy or dog to it you need to just turn it on near them for a few days and let them adjust to the sound. Give some treats while it's running. Then I touch it to their nails without turning it on. Once you start using it, it does still take a while for them to get used to it. Patience and treats are key!

They make this long attachment for the dremel, looks like a snake - and the further away the handle part of the dremel - the quieter the noise.

I'll go do a google...

Here is the you tube about the flexible shatt extension for the dremel.

Thanks! I'll have to look at my unit - I'm thinking it may be too old & wouldn't work with that extension. I may end up just working extra hard to get Baker to tolerate it.

This is what worked for my Shadow. It took a few weeks, but he sits calmly for it now.
