Pfeiffer has her dew claws and I have no problems whatsoever with them - ya just clip them when you do the rest of the claws and that's that. I asked my vet if they should've been removed back when she was going to be spayed and she said no - that's it's truly not necessary for dog to have dews removed unless perhaps they are hunting dogs, and even then it's not really necessary bc all one has to do is keep them short/properly cut and they're out of the way. Simple.
