At what age should dew claws be removed?

If you decide you would like the dew claws removed on your litter of puppies, they MUST be removed between the ages of 1-5 days. After this age the puppy must wait until 6 months of age to have them removed. At 6 months of age this surgery is an amputation and is costly. If you have a dog with dew claws and are considering having them removed, discuss it in-depth with your veterinarian before making a decision.
