Keeping in mind vets learn the basics of dew claw and tail docking, but aren't versed in each breed's standard. So, you must have input to correct measurements.
Thanks!!
I have a very good relationship with them, been going there for years. Which is why I trusted them and took the pups there the first place.
I still go to them just not for the tails or dewclaws.
I did that visit have to tell the vet how long to dock it. I know they aren't versed in the breed standards, different breeds are docked to different lengths. They wanted to cut it too short but I was told what length to do it by so I told the vet and they had no problem with it.
It was just the method they used was so wrong. And the problem was I checked all the vets around here, they all did the same thing.
