Dr. Becker on Trimming Your Dog's Nails
Unfortunately, the American Kennel Club (AKC) still considers this an acceptable practice in some breeds, yet it's not unlike removing your pet's thumbs. They're essential for traction and stabilization, and removing them is an unnecessary, painful procedure.
Dewclaws are the “extra” nails on dogs’ paws; they are typically found on the front paws, but can also occur on rear paws, or all four paws.
Front dewclaws are attached by bones to the leg; rear and double dewclaws are typically attached only by skin.
Front dewclaws serve several important purposes, and removal for cosmetic vs. health reasons is thankfully become a relic of the past.
The purpose of rear dewclaws is undefined, but there should be a compelling health reason to remove them.
