Review: M.I Pet Nail Clipper

Description:

Nail Clipper-
You won't hurt your dog any more if you use M.I Pet's Nail Clipper when you cut your dog's nails. You are able to choose the length of the nail (2mm or 4mm) you want to cut just by turning the arrow button with a coin.
When you use a normal pet nail clipper, it is almost impossible to cut your dog's nails without it bleeding because it won't stay quiet.
Let's make trimming nails safe for your lovely dog!

==============================

Pros:
- Shaped like a human nail clipper, easy to handle
- Has the nail guard; not fool-proof
- Had a container to contain the nails

Cons:
- The plastic container sort of blocks the blades edge; kind of difficult to aim the nail directly into the groove
- Once you shake the clipper, all the stored bits of nails can fall out.
- The nail guard is not fool-proof, if the pet's nail is inserted slanted in, the guard won't work. Moreover, the nail tends to be curved, making the nail guard not very precise, seems like the nails I cut is more than 2mm long.
- Don't seem to be strong enuff for tougher nails

Review:
Managed to cut twinkle's nails. Her nails are not very tough, so they are easily cut. But i cut into twinkle's quick (nail nerve) once and resulted in bleeding. :( I think this nail clipper is good enough for her. Probably want to try using a scissor nail clipper with nail guard just to compare. Guillotine style clipper is definitely out of my consideration.

==========================

I would love to give Twinkle home-cooked food, but my schedule don't permit me to do so. Don't wanna create extra work for my mom either. So kibbles' still my best bet.

Chose lamb, as it's stated to be hypo-allergenic (One of the least allergy-causing meat)
Said to be a 4-star Premium Dry Food.

Pros:
- Don't poop as much as when she's in Eukanuba. More food being absorbed into her system, rather than junk out of it.
- Poo don't stink as bad as on Eukanuba. (still stinks though)
- She's doing fine, good appetite, no major problems with the food.

Cons:
- Can't think of anything at the moment.

Review:
Will stick to this till she gets sick of it *fingers crossed*

===========================

Similarly, been using this on twinkle for her weekly baths.

Method of usage (secret taught by shop-uncle):
- Mix one tablespoon with 1.5L of water.
- Use as a final rinse without washing off.

Pros:
- Love the powdery scent ; but lasts couple of days only. :(
- Coat feels nice after blow-drying.
- Doesn't weigh down the fur.

Cons:
- Scent not long-lasting.

Review: Would purchase again, unless i find something as well with long-lasting scent. :)

Review: Tomlyn Pearls Au Lait Milk Bath Shampoo


Bought the white one in the middle. Didn't want extra ingredient (e.g fragrance) to irritate her skin.

============================
Description:

Pearls Au Lait Milk Bath Moisturizing Shampoo is a gentle shampoo for cats and dogs, enriched with the goodness of milk proteins. It leaves the skin and coat clean, moisturized and silky.

Features/Use/Recommendation

Pearls Au Lait Milk Bath Moisturizing Shampoo has an exclusive patented delivery system, similar to the technology used to make cosmetics for humans. The result is silkier and cleaner skin and coat of your pet. The shampoo has encapsulated Nova Pearls that slowly release nutrient-rich moisturizers. Pearls Au Lait Milk Bath Moisturizing Shampoo comes in three variants— Nourishing Skin Care, Fresh Strawberry Fragrance and All-In-One Salon Treatment.

============================

Didn't get her a whitening shampoo, as they are said to be rather harsh on the dog's skin. Westies are super prone to get skin allergies, thus decided to just get a normal pH-balanced mild shampoo for twinkle instead. Been using this on Twinkle for her weekly baths. Must lather well with water before rubbing onto her.

Pros:
- Cleans well, her coat is much cleaner after baths, looks whiter/cleaner.
- No problems with this shampoo.

Cons:
- Not lasting-smell though. Milky scent is not very nice either.

Review:
So far, this shampoo works just ok. Nothing much to rave about. Will probably try other brands, just for the feel of it.
