Dewclaws are removed due to safety issues. The dewclaws grow toward the dogs leg and if left unnoticed especially long haired breeds the dewclaw grows into the leg and causes infection. Also, the declaws catch on things and get pulled out, bent backward, or split when that happens and then they must be removed when they are bone instead of cartilage.
