Tail docking is typically performed on puppies between 3 to 5 days old. This timing is chosen because the procedure is less traumatic at this young age, as the puppies' nervous systems are not fully developed, and they have not yet formed strong social bonds. However, the practice is controversial and is banned or restricted in many countries due to animal welfare concerns. Always consult local regulations and veterinary guidelines before considering this procedure.
