I would do all except the dew claws, like Gail said, it would be an amputation. My male who is 5 years old has his dew claws and he has never had an issue with them, and he is in a full coat. They need clipping but it is the same as having to clip their toenails anyway. Never any issues with his, i would never remove what they were born with especially if it is not medically necessary at this age(i am assuming he is a few months old now?)
