STERLING, Ill. (March 2, 2019) – Perhaps no other grooming activity is more dreaded than cutting your dog’s nails. The task seems simple enough, but one misplaced snip can leave your dog reluctant to allow you near his paws again. As a grooming category leader, and an advocate for dogs and dog owners everywhere, Wahl is excited to lessen the margin for error with the introduction of two new dog nail grinders.

“Trimming nails is important for the health of your pup and to keep them from scratching your floor and furniture,” said Steven Yde, division vice president for Wahl. “For years we’ve heard from pet parents worried about hurting their dog, so we’re thrilled to offer them a product that should ease their anxiety.”

The Grind & Smooth is a lithium battery-operated grinder, while the Grind, Trim, Smooth is a lithium ion rechargeable grinder. Both items share the following attributes:

• Exclusive Grinding Stone with Nail Rounding Top –This Wahl exclusive grinding stone allows pet owners to round off the tips of the nails, eliminating any sharp edges.
• Speed Control – With two speed options, you can move at the pace you’re most comfortable.
• Cordless Ease-of-Use – Trim your dog’s nails wherever convenient. In addition, they each have a soft no-slip ergonomic grip making it easier to hold tight for precision.
• High Torque, Ultra-Quite Motor – Up to three times greater stall force, ensures even the toughest nails grind quick and easy. The ultra-quiet motor means no spooking your pet.

The Grind & Smooth has a MSRP of $34.99 and will be available for distribution in April 2019; the Grind, Trim, Smooth has a MSRP of $44.99 and will be available for distribution in July 2019.
