Dogs have claws (/ toe nails) because during evolution they were deemed to be useful and thus they were kept instead of being discarded. Claws help dogs grasp objects, climb up on surfaces (like furniture), and hang onto surfaces like seats in a car. A dog's claws can also be used as tools for digging for food or burrowing animals and for fighting other animals by scratching or slashing.
Some cats may be declawed, but I don't recommend removing a dogs claws/ toe nails because: 1.) Claw removal would be very painful for the dog and could cause unnecessary stress and/ or trauma. 2.) Dogs have claws for good reasons (listed above).
