Declawing is an elective surgery much like any other. I NEVER advise it, as I posted prior, but I have seen it done.

Just HOW and where am I seeing these declawed dogs?
I'm a Dog Trainer in northern Illinois and in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I have clients that are local and then some that fly in, be it domestic or international. The latest dog that I saw that was declawed was a Doberman that came from a kennel here in the US. I have also had a few other dogs stateside, Germany and another from Bermuda that have been declawed.

I can't speak for your 16 years of experience as a groomer in your town, just know that I as a dog trainer that travels or have clients that travel to me has seen it a few times and every time it's like the first..."What? Why?".
