lurchermania 25 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 dew claws should realy be cut off at around 3-4 days old with sharp sterile scizors just to save any problems but many doge run with them and dont have a problen (but if they do get caught ya dou will know about it for sure ) atb stew Link to post

My collie x still had his till a cpl of months ago, then had to have them removed as he kept catching them and they gave him pain.... A guy on here then came along when i said i was having them removed, and said...... "a proper dog man wouldnt have dew claws on an animal" so all us who do have dew claws mustnt be real dog men!! lol,,..... some dew claws are attached and some are loose mate, your must have been loose, so they easily came off....

If they are attached by a piece of(i dont know what it is) grizle, they have to go under and have the full op. If they are not attached and loose, the op is far easier and can be done with a local...

PINNACLE 2,297 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have two dogs both with dew claws. Both dogs have snapped them off at the quick, there is a bit of blood and it looks nasty but after a good clean I have either cut the rest off or taped them up for a week or so until grown back enough to trim. No lasting damage. Link to post
