Dew Claw Removal As Pups

Mine aint got hers removed and is 9 month old . is it to late to get them done . . What would it cost ..

no, but get it done now , the longer you leave it more of a bigger op for the dog, and the more vet will charge you .

 

At 9 months you may as well leave them and see if they give any bother first....sometimes they do......some times they don't. I have had dogs with and without. At 9 months I would wait and see. To have them removed at that age would be 'an operation', not just like 'nipping them off' when a wee pup.

It's just cost me £110 to have one removed from my pup. All the vets is spoke to were reluctant to do it unless it was causing actual problems for the dog

You paid money for that??? I've nipped dew claws a lot of different ways but two years ago I started biting them off with my teeth. Try not to do it unless the pup is clean. The best part about it is that I can feel right where I'm at and finding the proper place on the joint isn't any harder than splitting a sunflower seed in half. Now, if you've got a mouth full of broken chalk, you might have a challenge on your hands but it's still better than video games.

Yes but she's 18 week old not 3 days. They were all dew clawed as pups but the one I kept back grew back and it was in growing so I opted to have it removed
