runforyourlife 361 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sorry i dont understand what you mean. You say long periods of time. Do you mean, you want to keep it on for weeks, or do you mean lots of hours?? Why are you taping them up?? If you dont like them or your dog has told you he doesnt like them, why not have them removed?? Quote Link to post

WILF 46,832 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 The stuff you want is called VETWRAP , that and insulating tape will be good enough.........as said, not too tite Quote Link to post
Mr Hunter 31 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 It costs small fortune to remove and puts dog out of action a good few weeks and its wrong time to do it with the season just started so for now i would use Vetwrap as stated and if decide to get them removed wait until season finished and give dog chance to heal over the summer.My pup not been dew clawed and my plan is to wrap him until i can get them took off next summertime!

Mr Hunter 31 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Between £200&£300 by all accounts at adult stage but puppy stage was £25 a pup at one vets! Edited October 13, 2009 by Mr Hunter Quote Link to post
Mr Hunter 31 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 its what i was told as enquired about getting it done by lass i know who works there. i said it seems expensive but she said its because of the Anaesthitic etc.Obviously i opted for the tape instead but if its only Approx £60 ill definately be getting it done Quote Link to post
