Sparky came to us without his dew claws already. |
Bella & Phoebe do not have their dew claws and Abby & my foster dog, DandyLion do. I prefer them without only because of the many times their nails got snagged on something. That nail grows at an angle and needs to be trimmed more often than the other nails. |
My boy was born without his. My girl has hers and they do not seem to bother her and she has not had an issue with them so far. She turned a year old the beginning of May. |
I'm very happy that Belle doesn't have any dew claws. Oliver, my shih tzu, has them on all four feet and they grow so quickly that it's a chore to keep clipping them. My big dog Ziggy has them on front paws only and his aren't as bad as Oliver's. |
Jax has them and I wish he didn't. They are very thick and curl tightly, and it's difficult to clip them without hurting him. I considered getting them removed but it just didn't seem worth the risk. |
Scoobers was a pup mill dumpee @ the pound...dew claws intact...still not sure how he snagged it while we were jogging...yet another expensive ER vet trip...not as concerning as the pain he went through.Ironically his tail was docked! Elvis and Princess came with their dew claws removed. I beleive it is a necessary procedure for active dogs...despite our alaskan friend whom has hers onher dog whom is very active with not a single injury ever in years. |
Norman had his removed during his neuter surgery a few weeks ago. Like others have mentioned, his were tightly curved and very hard to trim. He seems oblivious to the fact that he had it done... |
Sasha does not have her dew claws. Her breeder had them removed as they were already gone once I brought her home. |
my male had his removed at 3 days old and my female had them removed incorrectly and now only has a nail growing back wrong and it was growing into her leg like a tight curl the day i got her we had to get that clipped and she will have it re-removed at some point and will have to go under for it because of her age :( |
I hate dew claws. Callie has them and she had one get stuck when she was outside and it riped her nail off leaving the nerve and vein exposed and had to go to the vet and be sedated then have her nerve and vein cut back. |
Tibbe had his removed along with tail docked but one dewclaw partially regrew sometime after I got him at 9 mos. Found it when he was about 2. It\'s tiny but had no idea was regrown some time. He had none at 9 mos. because I looked his ankles over so closely when I first got him home so I could assess him better for problems, etc., before taking him to the vet next day. He had none and then he had this tiny one that I missed as it regrew somehow. I use the Pedipaws on it occas. and keep it short just like his other claws. |
Gracie had only one dew claw that was removed when she was spayed. |
