is losing her baby teeth, but I'm not sure I would ever trust her to run free
in the house...too much to get into....that would worry me..

If I were you, I'd ask the vet what he thought, is it attached firmly, or is it hanging on by a thread, something in-between? In other words, just how likely is it to become ripped off? The people here who have decided to surgically remove them say recovery takes longer than the neutering recovery takes. If you decide not to do it, get rid of any knitted or crocheted blankets and clip it when you do the other nails. Best of luck!

I never even thought twice about having our pups done. No question, done deal! Only cost a few extra dollors, Worth every penny and saves them a life time of pain and suffering.
