There is no way I would do it before 3 days old. What is the point in traumatizing a newborn?

I have done tails and with the clamp method they don't even hardly cry. I an having problems justifing dew claws. I think they hurt them bad. I have a couple with dew claws and as long as they are trimmed with the nails regular never been a problem.
