Default Questions - nails and bad breath

Ok sorry but I have 2 questions and I did not want to start 2 posts. I hope its ok.

1. What type of nail clipper do you use. I am tired of buying cheap crap, I do use the pedicure which works great. But my female does not like it so I still need clippers.

2. My female has bad breath. When I adopted her in Oct our breeder had her spayed, teeth cleaned and they pulled 2 teeth. When she came here her breath was fine but after about a month it smells. She gets raw bones about once a week and her teeth do not look bad, they look pretty clean. Oh and she is 7 yrs if that helps. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.

I use a dremel so no help for you there but bad breath doesn't necessarily originate in the mouth. DD had horrendous breath until her acid reflux was under control. I would suggest making sure she doesn't have any meat stuck where the two teeth were pulled and then taking her to the vet to see what else might be causing it.

Hmmm, good idea, I will inspect further. I do have to make an appointment for her soon anyway.
