My 11 year old Chocolate Lab Claws got so long ,she couldn't make it up her doggy ramp without slipping . I can't get her into the van anymore to the groomer . So today 2/05/15 I decided to use both my hands to press down on the professional large dog clippers. I cut off the curve about 3/4 inch . I did it very fast while she set on the floor, and I with difficulty set on a low Ottoman. We where both relieved when it was over . A nice treat , and dress rehearsal on the ramp worked great . Wow, now I can breath again till next time.

In reply to nicole.

is it her food? I am a lab owner of two great labs and alot of our friends have labs as well. Our dogs don’t smell but I would notice that they would shed more when we tried a certain brand of dog food. Once we switched to Diamond brand dog food they stayed full longer and didn’t stink. One of our close friends also mentioned that when he had his Lab on Pro Plan by purina it made her small badly so he switched her to Diamond and she stopped stinking.
I also use an Organic shampoo purchased at Petsense and it makes our labs smell delicious for two weeks (our labs are half inside/ half outside)
Hope this helps.

My lab is a little over a year old. I want to know why my girl smells 2or 3 days after her bath. She kind of smells like vomit in a way. It always happens about 2 days after her bath. I have even tried to spray her with dog perfume and that don’t help. She stays inside so the smell is becoming a problem. What can I do to get rid of the smell.
