Re: Dew claws

Its quite a big operation removing the dew claws in an older dog or puppy which is why those breeds that do have them removed have it done at 3 days old. Some vets will not do it unless the dog repeatedly rips them which is painful.

You could ask your vet what his opinions on removing dew claws is. But another alternative is to use vet wrap around the claws to protect them. My friend lure courses her whippet and she has dew claws still she protects them with vet wrap she says she'd rather pay out for that than risk the bitch catching them as she's running
