Dewclaws are the small “extra” toes located slightly higher up on a dog’s leg most commonly on the inside of the front legs, and sometimes on the back legs. They don’t usually touch the ground when the dog walks.
We do not remove dewclaws. Puppies are left natural unless otherwise medically necessary. We believe in preserving normal structure and allowing the puppy to develop as nature intended. Dewclaws are monitored early on to ensure they are healthy and properly attached. -
