Re dewclaws your dogs dewclaws' nails have come off should you get the dewclaw removed or leave it will the nail of the dewclaws grow back?
Dew-claws on a dog are a vesitigial toe. Some breed standards actually require there be a minimum of two dew-claws on each back leg. i.e. Great Pyrenees. While some breeds it is only a single it is still an extra toe. I have seen dogs use these on fencing for balance when climbing over. (That means if you have an escape artist you need a hotwire around the top of your fence). In 22 years of raising the Great Pyrenees I never had a dog to injure the dew-claws. Other toe nails yes, but never a dew-claw. Some dew-claws are not formed propertly and do not have a nail. Others have huge nails that grow in a circle and will grow back into the toe if not kept trimmed. Stop and think if you would want to have any of your toes removed. Don't remove these dew-claws just make sure they stay trimmed at least every 4 or 5 months. It's easy enough to check. When you're petting your dog, just slip a finger between the end of the nail and the toe and if your finger won't fit, then it needs trimmed. shepherd564
