Is my dog safe sleeping on the floor? What tools do I need for grooming?

Question

My dog never got used to his bed and he sleeps on the floor. Could this harm him? Which implements should I buy to trim his nails & clean his teeth? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 11 months old | 81 lbs

It's fine that Rusty sleeps on the floor, and I would just make sure there is at least a blanket if the floor isn't carpeted to help keep him from developing callous from sleeping on a hard surface. To trim his nails, you can get dog specific nail trimmers from a pet store. While there, you can also get a dog specific toothbrush and toothpaste. Do not use human toothpaste on Rusty because it contains fluoride which is toxic to dogs.
