How do I know when I am near the quick?

When filing, you can see the quick emerge through the layers of enamel when looking at the tip of the nail. Also, there is a soft layer between the hard outer shell and the quick. As you get close to the quick you can feel the leather like texture as opposed to the hard outer shell. Stop there.

Can't I just use a Dremel?

You could, but a Dremel does not have any kind of safe guard to protect your pet's paws. Your pet's fur or hair can get caught in the Dremel tool and get wrapped around it. This can cause a great deal of pain and possible permanent damage to your pet. It's really not worth the risk.
