YT 500 Club Member | weird dew claws My puppy has weird dew claws. They seem to be growing upwards and feel very thin. What should I do? My vet pointed it out to me. She just said watch out for them. Weird???? Should they be taken off?

| In order to be taken off she will have to be under anesthesia and then have them removed and stitches.

| That might be something that could be done when she gets spayed. Make sure that the groomer, if you use one, is made aware that the dew claws are still there.
