Front dew claws

Do you beaglers clip the front dew claws off or just the back ones when they appear? What is the advantage other than appearance? Do you recommend clipping both the front and back?

I only clip the rear ones because the front ones are tighter to the paw. The rear ones can get quite large and get caught in the briars.

What do you guys clip them off with and what does the vet use. How old is to old to clip them off.

Best to use hemostats. They crush the blood vessels so there is not as much blood. Vet says to take them off from 3 to 5 days old. Click on search at the top and type in dew claws. There are alot of post with info on this.
