Both of my pups still have theirs. I talked it over with my vet who said it would be best to just leave them. He said...
A. It's painful to do it at an older age.
B. Normally when you hear of them getting ripped out it's because the dog had some that are "floppy" and kinda stick out. (Pixie & Fudgie's both lay tightly against their leg)
C. As long as you make sure you keep the nail nice and trimmed it should never be a problem.
Jodie - Is it on both sides or just the one? If the breeder didn't cut far enough down they can grow back. This may be what happened with Sissy. Just keep it trimmed nice 'n short. |
