| What Age For Dew Claws & Tail Docking? What age do you recommend for having the dew claws and tails docked? My vet had recommended for the pup to have doubled its weight before having it done because she was so tiny. (This was for Lily's 1st litter) I was concerned about waiting too long though. Don't the pups feel it more as they are a few days older?

| My breeder and the ones I deal with do it at before the 5th day. You shouldn't wait after that time. Unless of course there is something wrong with them and you don't think they have alot of strength.

| Between days 3-5 is ideal. |

| I agree! I wait until the 5th day if any of the pups are tiny.
