tail docking my friend is a vettech, and she said it is considered surgery after the pup is over 5 days old. i get my pups docked and dewclawed when they are 3 days old. my last litter cost $88 to get 5 pups done, and i was given a 10 pound bag of puppy food for coming in!
for docking the tail later, depending on age and weight of the dog, a blood workup might have to be done for anethesia purposes. i have been asking around about getting tail and claws done and it averages about $150 here in federal way. |
