Never.

Do your homework. Declawing = amputation. The toes are amputated and the cat must walk on bone. Felines frequently have bone fragments which require surgical repair later in life. AMPUTATION = Phantom pain.

Many cats react by not using their litterbox and then are dumped at shelters, or to fend defenseless in the wild.

If you must have a cat with no claws, save yourself a few hundred and adopt one already declawed from your lical humane groups Petfinder.com, and/or Pets.overstock.com.

Declawing is banned in 40+ countries, and a few US cities. North American vets continue to resist efforts by educated consumers to ban the lucrative industry started in the mid 1950's.

Will the vet declaw your dog if he is constantly digging into the sofa and into people's legs?

Depends on the vet. Most vets will never do such a procedure unless there is a legitimate medical reason, such as an injury or infection. There is no reason to declaw a dog for being badly behaved, and the best way to stop the dog from digging and scratching is to train it into more desirable behavior.
