Some stitches are dissolvable, one is not better or worse, but since dissolvable ones shouldn't be licked, the vet chose the removable stitches since the area involved the leg, (dew claws), and the dog might be likely to lick this area and dissolve the stitches. For areas that the dog can't reach or that you can cover, vets often use dissolvable stitches. Is your dog getting dewclaws removed or just being spayed?

only spayed. but i will buy her manyyyy onesies
