i feel competely stupid!
as i was reading this i'm like what are dew claws?
then i goggled a picture of it (definations didn't help)
then i realized that my puppy got it cut when he was little or we got it cut when he went under when we got him neutered.
i don't know much because my dog never had it, but it seems useless and my dog's fine without it, i'm sure ur dog too will be fine without it. and its best to get it done while your puppy's already under getting its baby teeth pulled out. mickey got neutered, got his teeth pulled and i'm not sure if he got dew claws removed but if not, its best to do all at once
(sorry for my blabbing onness)
