As long as they are not causing her problems there are no reason to have to take them off at this point. We have a grown adult that has hers and they have never had an issue and you just have to remember to clip it. My MIL had a dalmation that had to have hers removed at an older age because she kept snagging them and making them bleed. It was a very long recovery. I think unless they are a problem to not remove them once older than a few days
