I was glad that Katie has her dew claws after I read this document. |
Body and Mia both have dew claws and no problems...Brody's tail is also intact...I like it. I trim dew claws too. The article is excellent...thank you. I saw it in the other thread, but I already knew they were important...just could not remember details. Thank you for linking this article.
