If the puppies are past the 5 day mark I would leave them. Usually in the vet office if we see a dog that has very loose dew claws we will reccomend them removed because they can catch on things but usually small dogs dew claws are very close to the skin and do not cause a problem. If they are older they have to be anesthetized and its a whole ordeal so it's better to leave them if they are already there unless they cause a problem.
