What are buzzing dog nail clippers? Are they electric dremel tools?

Question

I have been reading your tip on how to get your dog to have their claws cut without any problems. Part of the advice is to let your dog get used to the buzzing of the clippers on the dogs paw. I've never seen any clippers that buzz when cutting the claws as the only ones that buzz are for cutting the fur. As far as I know the nail cutting is done with something like scissors that has a part you can use to make sure you don't cut them too close to the quick of the claws.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding nail trimming. There are two ways to clip a dog's nails. The first is what you mentioned with actual nail clippers. The other is using an electric dremel to file the nails down. This is likely what the article was referring to with allowing the pet to get used to the noise. I hope this information helps!
