I have 3 Yorkies. May male and female were bought from breeders and had their dew claws removed when I got them. We recently had a litter of puppies with them and when I took them to the vet to have their tails docked he refused to do the dew claws. He said they were too small to go through it and he saw no need for it anyway. Our baby, Tootsie, is still small and has not yet been to the groomer so I trim the dew claws when I trim the nails. When she get older I will let the groomer do them also. I will not be having Tootsie's taken out later, I would not want to put her through that. |
