I took the puppies to the Veterinary today where they had their Dew Claws removed. This procedure is not medically necessary. . At 2-3 days old it is just a little tab of skin, and there is no bone and relatively few nerves. It is a quick, easy and relatively painless procedure. But only when it is done within the first few days.
The Dew Claws serve no purpose so removing them is a preventative measure to avoid injury later in life. It is also a convenience measure...two less claws to clip. (Some dogs also have them on the back legs) Many dogs go through life with Dew Claws and have no problems. I just feel it is better not to have them in the rare event they get caught on something and need surgery.
