I want to make my greyhounds nails smooth and shiney after I cut them....I dont want to use a dremel tool it might startle her so I file them down after I cut them using a sanding block I got at home depot....is there a wax or polish that is clear that I can put on her nails to just make them look shiny?

I've never done this, but I imagine a buffer for human nails would work. Example.

Some people use Human nail polish. I would just rub a very small amount of baby oil on the outer edge and buff with a soft cloth. It wouldn't hurt them and it smells good. I wouldn't use much or it will be greasy and slippery. why do you want shiny nails?

[poodleholic]

I wouldn't use a nail polish. Just get a nail buffer (for humans). Just like they buff and polish our nails, it works on the dog's nails as well.

bag balm or petroleum jelly will make them shiny.

Greyhounds can handle dremels just fine. I always used the dremel on all of ours (11 + 5 who are now at the Bridge)) plus every foster and boarded greyhound that's come through here (100 or so greyhounds....)

I have/use a roterie tool that I got from a buity supply store. Cost about $25 and had severl attachments that sand/file and also polish the nail. Does not make a lot of nois and it battery operated. Use it on all of my dogs but mostly the 2 I show. They are all fine with it. Abby falls asleep.

There's a nail polish specifically for dogs. Luckily for you, Greyhounds don't have long hair, so you can easily apply nail polish without getting it on their fur.
