Yes, when we take our newborn pups to see the veterinarian at two days of age, we have the tails docked and dew claws removed. We prefer the look of a docked tail and the vet recommends dew claw removal. Both procedures are quick and straightforward and recovery time is minimal.

Answer: No, we do not have the Dew Claws removed from the puppies. Removal of the Dew Claw is not recommended by the Veterinarian especially if the puppy will run and play a lot. The Dew Claw located above the foot is needed when the dogs run and turn. The claw will dig in and allow them to maneuver without falling. The trimming of this claw is the same as the other claws and requires no additional care. See similar questions...

Your pet has four toes on each foot and one that was at one time a "thumb." This thumb hasn’t been used, so it has changed form and become the small growth on the inside of the leg. Your pet may have dew claws only on his two front feet, or he may have them on all four. Great Pyrenees and Briards require double dew claws on both back legs to be shown in a dog show circuit.

I don't think there are many vets who will remove front ones anyhow, although I may be wrong on this. Our import 'Ditto' , hasn't got any on the front (or back!) so I'm guessing this is common practice to remove them in other countries. I think it depends on how well attached they are. If they are very loose, poorly attached and floppy, (i have seen some that stick out at right angles from the leg!) then they could cause problems cos they could be prone to catching.

Not removing the dewclaws is a BIG fashion no no. However, if you are going to be a good steward to your pet, you have to often fight fashion, political correctness and the same kind of so called “common sense” that once said the world was flat, to do what’s best for you dog. The truth is that some dewclaws should be removed and some should be kept. It all depends on the viable structural nature of the pup’s dewclaws. See similar questions...

The dew's claw is a claw which is no longer used and which still contains bones in some dogs, but only consists of skin and claw in others. The claw has no function, but the dog can hurt himself on it in some circumstances. Therefore, this claw is generally removed by a small operation. If the dog is chewing on them, then these claws bother him. He cannot die from this but the claws can become infected and have to be treated. Bring your dog to a vet. See similar questions...

Okay, we have to go way back in time to answer this one. When I was first asked to draw this comic way back in 1992, I was a sophomore in high school, with the expected level of artistic ability. Quite honestly, I couldn’t figure out how to make wings and tails workable, and since my characters were clothed, I figured that dorsal ridges were a moot point. Actually, the characters originally had claws, but as my drawing style evolved, so did they, and now they’ve got hands. See similar questions...

A.     Not removing the dewclaws on a Rhodesian Ridgeback is a BIG fashion no no. Ridgebacks with dewclaws, their breeders and their owners are often the subjects of fashion ridicule. However, if you are going to be a good steward to your pet, you have to often fight fashion, political correctness and the same kind of so called "common sense" that once said the world was flat, to do what's best for you dog. The truth is that some dewclaws should be removed and some should be kept. See similar questions...

No, I feel this is the barometer of what your dog is thinking and is too important to remove. Of course, you could have it removed at any time, but I would not encourage you to. See similar questions...

Yes. Although most people apply Soft Claws only to the front paws, they can also be used on the back if desired. Applying Soft Claws to the hind claws will help prevent damage from cats jumping on and off furniture. Also, many people have used Soft Claws on the hind claws of cats who have skin problems and scratch excessively. The nail caps help prevent self-inflicted damage from scratching.
