Dew Claws: What You Should Know

There’s a lot of mixed information out there about dew claws.

After speaking with multiple reputable veterinarians, we’ve learned they’re more than just ā€œextra toes.ā€
They’re connected to tendons and play a role in a dog’s movement and stability.

Some dogs may never have issues if they’re removed.
But others can develop discomfort or long-term changes as they age.

That’s something we take seriously.

Not all dew claws are the same either.
The ones that are tight to the foot are typically not a long-term concern.
Loose ones can have a higher risk of injury and just need to be managed properly.

We choose to keep them.

Not because it’s easier
but because we believe in preserving structure and focusing on proper care.

We don’t remove them. We manage them.

It was a busy day sending these precious little pups home. The last pup will head home on Wednesday. I can’t thank my husband enough for taking on the task of taking care of them this last week and sending them home while I’m off with the big dogs trying to get some hunt test passes!! I wish all my puppy parents the best in their new journey!

Lafe and Colton took all the pups to the Veterinarian yesterday for their first set of shots and check up! They all got a clean bill of health, and 2 went home to their new owner. One more goes home today and the rest on Saturday. It will be bittersweet. 🄰

We set up a nice little land test today. Mark 1 was a walk up and then the other two marks followed. Pick up the marks, run both blinds. Then we set up a very challenging water blind!
