Dew claws

[shawnfrazier]

Is a week old to old to cut the dew claws off?

[BCBeagles]

I wait till a week to do mine, no issues thus far. Good luck!

[RDN61]

I don't think it is.

[Norshore]

No, don't like to wait longer though.

[The Asphalt Man]

I do all my pups at two weeks old so one week old shouldn't hurt them at all.

Why do you remove them ?

[intrepid]

If you run them were there's alot of snow you can tear them off. Pretty painful for the dog,better to take them off when there pups.

My vet recommends three days.

[David Bowers]

Three to five days is what the vet told me. I also dock the tails at the same time.

[Swampman]

My pups rarely have them on their rear legs, I do have the fronts removed at 3 to 5 days old.

As intrepid stated, up here with snow and ice, they get tore up bad breaking through if you don't have them removed.
