I posted this a while back in the breeder section, My vet REFUSED to do this and I wondered why? My vet said it is VERY VERY painful almost like removing your fingernail.. it can also remain painful forever..
I was really concerned that my vet wouldnt do this so I posted in the breeders section, they to said it is NOT nessesary to do this later on, as long as you keep them trimmed they will be fine. My vet will NOT remove dew claws under any circumstances if they are not new born puppies.. she said she has seen many complications and finds that leaving them is less harmful then removing them at spay/neuter time.
You may want to post this in the breeder section and they can give you a more indepth explanation. My puppy is 10 months old and she has no complications with them at all!
