Great info. Wish we knew to this when we had german shepherds. We are rural and have had to deal with 1 getting caught on barb wire fencing and no idea how the others was broken. This would have been less painful and less expensive
I had to have my poodles' adult dewclaws removed due to problems with grooming and it was awful for her! I wish she'd have had it done like this to start with.
*What's really cruel is NOT REMOVING THEM and SEEING ONE GET CAUGHT AND TORN ON CARPETING, RECLINERS, AND ALL SORTS OF MATTER OUTSIDE. Kudos to you sir for showing how to do it properly.* 💯
My dog has her dew claws, and no issues. The very least you could do is wait until the pup is old enough for anesthesia then remove it. How would you like one of your fingers cut off right after birth without anesthesia? I suppose you also approve of circumcision!
Removing dew claws at 3-5 days is fast safe and almost completely painless Removing st 6 months on the other hand is much more involved process with anesthesia and painful recovery
Clearly you’re not informed about the risks of anesthesia. Dew claw removal is uncomfortable, but virtually risk free. Oh, and we don’t circumcise dog genius.
@@lancewalker6067 Clearly YOU are not a concerned person, and enjoy abusing animals. We never remove dew claws, and if we did, the animal would be old enough for anesthesia! You are abusing these animals.
@@BelindaM44 Pay attention to the video. The pups are crying because they're being held in place, not because they're in pain. The one pup stops crying each time as soon as the claw is removed. She only cries when he's holding her arm in place. If it hurt her, she'd keep crying afterwards. They all stop crying immediately as soon as the pups are put away. I get it if you don't have the stomach to do something like this yourself. I don't know if I would either. But stop judging other people for doing a safe medical procedure on a dog. If you can't handle seeing that, then you definitely can't handle what it will be like if your adult dog snags a dew claw and rips it off.
How do you know you're not contaminating your samples? It takes 10-30 seconds for alcohol to properly sterilize. Hemostats have ridges that may hold tissue and blood. You dipped those hemostats for a second. You also touched the alcohol bottle, your sleeve, the tops of the hemostats, the lid of the incubator with your 'sterilized' hands. At least have properly sterilized hemostats ready for each puppy.
I just wanted to say thank you very much for showing this again and having great lighting and showing us where the dew claw is so that we can do this properly without hesitation again thank you so much I appreciate it.
This video is so helpful I did not have my Shorkie done when he was a baby because I thought it was cruel and here he is now five years old and we have to have his dewclaws removed because he is scratching his corneas of his eyes with his front ones, and his back ones are wrapped around, digging into the pads of his feet We are planning on having some Shih Tzu babies with our female Shih Tzu in about nine months and I want to remove all the dewclaws from her puppies, so this has been tremendously helpful and it seems to be no pain or anything so thank you
What I don’t understand is why remove the front dew claws? My understanding is it’s the rear dew claws that need removing. My heeler has a long deformed hanging dew claw. And now my lab has a litter of pup and no rear dew claw’s. Strange
Maam the dog is probably scratching for another reason. And the nails wouldn’t grow into the pad if they are routinely trimmed. Declawing like this is extremely inhumane and will have consequences for life on them.
@@joshhobday3123they should only be removed if they really stick out and snag on things and some are born without but still should be done under sedation and in a sterile manner
May I ask why the front? I thought it was only the rear dew claws? I thought the front you could leave? Or is this only for the DNA? I understand both ways and no criticism from me, just learning here as my lab had a litter of pups but the pups have no rear dew claws.
Most breeds of dogs do not have dew claws on the back legs. Usually if they have dew claws in the back, they serve a purpose, and you would not remove them. Great Pyrenees, for example, have double dew claws in the back, giving them six toes on each back foot, and they are used to provide extra traction in the snow as this is a dog built for the snow. These claws have bones attached to them, and are much sturdier than other dew claws, and are not removed. These front dew claws typically do not have bones attached to them, which makes weak and prone to injury. They're only attached to the foot with flesh, and if they catch on something it is very easy for them to rip off, which can cause a painful injury to the dog.
Does this remove the claw deep enough. I was told that the inner claw or “root” needs to come away too. To stop any re growth.? I’ve seen them snipped with toe nail clippers before now and it did a good job. 😁👍🏼
That was sooooo easy to do 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I honestly thought it was going to be way more work than that. My female German Rottweiler Is going to give birth for the first time sometime this mont 15-19 and we are super excited. Thank you for the video you both share with us and hope for the best for you and your family.
This is still hard to visualize. Some pups are bigger than others, is there a size difference what forcepts are needed? Exactly where to place them? I can't tell what exactly is being removed, is it just the nail? Or some additional bulk behind the nail? I can see that *something* is popping out, but what if the forcepts just crush the knuckle instead of force it to pop out? What if it pops "in" to the other side of the forcepts? Can you accidentally pinch in a way the knuckle doesn't pop like if the forcepts are too thin? I've seen people use something like clippers which are sharp for cutting and don't "pop" like forcepts do, which is better? As good as the camera was, it's still hard to make out precisely what is happening. Is this bone? Are there nerves being severed? Is there danger of a shattered bone or splinter remaining inside? Normally we would just use the vet but they are skyrocketing in price to the point where a litter would cost $500+ to do this. It's nearly $100 per pup for what appears to be a 20 second procedure, so learning this seems like a good skill.
So does this get the seed of the dewclaw? I heard with this method they could grow back? Curious because I need to do my pups when they are 3 days old and this seems much more humane than the other videos I have watched.
Sorry about the pussy part, but really the vet does the same thing new born puppies CAN NOT have anesthesia , AND besides the Nervous system is UNDER DEVELOPED meaning they cry but they feel little to nothing that’s why this is done only as new borns
Just Wanted to take out a second and really thank you for your help on self whelp And how to prepare yourself for the unexpected with all the tools you need in the vehicle on the way to the doctors to get a C-section I really appreciate your help thank you so much God bless you and your family keep doing what you’re doing to teach people like me that starting with Frenchies I will follow you forever thank you
James, question for you. Not related to this, but I would love your feedback. What do you know and how do you feel about giving plasma to newborn puppies? Either subcutaneously or orally? I’ve seen some other breeders discuss this for fading puppy syndrome and have done some surface level research. Would love your thoughts/ maybe a video?
Probably not since the mother licks them like hundreds of times every day 😅. You could put iodine but she will lick it off which is ok because it’s a medical disinfectant.
Most breeds of dogs do not have dew claws on their back legs. They only have them on the front. If they have them on the back legs, it probably means that they are necessary and shouldn't be removed. Mostly it is large mountain dogs bred for movement in snow that have dew claws on their back legs, and the claws help them get traction in the snow.
Breeds that have double dew claws on the back legs typically use those claws for added traction in the snow. I'm guessing you have a large mountain dog of some sort.
Great video. I just became a subscriber. Love your content. Could you plz make a video on hydrocephalus. We just lost one of our babies. Thanks again. Great videos
Great video. Thanks! I have two Yorkies, unrelated to each other, and their DCs have to be trimmed every couple of weeks b/c they curl back into the skin. Have owned several hunting dogs who ripped their DCs off while running through the woods. Very painful. Wound can easily become infected, and a bone infection is very expensive to treat. It is better to remove the DCs as a pup.
The last girl you kept saying something about the purpling of the muzzle and u said it’s a classic but was interrupted and didn’t finish ur sentence. What does the purple mean. I have poodle that is cream or white with purple muzzle, purple belly and under the arms and inside his ears he is beautiful. I was wondering what you was going to say about the last little girl. Can u do tails also?
The dog is genetically a lilac/purple dog. Their skin, nose and paws are purple. I’m not sure what the correct terms are for your breed but your dog would genetically be a lilac cream. Blue/Grey dogs would have blue and Chocolate would have chocolate. Lilac is a combination of blue AND chocolate.
Thank you for this great educational video ! What age are these pups, I see they still have their umbilical cords attached. I have standard poodles and I usually dock tails and remove dew claws before they are 2days old...but I'm considering doing it earlier.
I brot.a deer head chihuahua from a breeder but she had an extra toe hanging in the back the toe with nail feels like dead meat her puppys had ones on each side but the behind today there are a month out should I speak to a vetianian?
Is there a reason beyond aesthetics for removing dew claws? This practice is old and much like ear cropping is increasing frowned upon. When it is appropriate to remove, its considered a veterinary surgery and should be done by a veterinary surgeon. The pups are clearly in distress in this video (even if they "quiet down" after a few minutes). Coat color can be determined without clipping off declaws. You know the possible outcomes since you know the genetics of the parents; and thats honestly enough to sell the pups "based on color". No real need to know what colors a newborn pup carries....it needs to mature to an age to determine if its healthy enough to breed anyway. At which point you can test for color with amputating the declaw. You have lots of great content but be careful with this one. Maybe add a "don't try this at home" disclaimer...or explore recent research on declaw removal/ear cropping trends.
@@LoveMyPups "There is some debate as to whether dewclaws should be surgically removed." You ripping it off with your hand isn't the most responsible thing to promote or the best thing for the pups. Wikipedia also shouldn't be your go to source generally speaking, but the article does what declaws are and their functionality. Just honest feedback. Maybe these links will help: www.petmd.com/dog/care/5-things-you-need-know-about-dog-dewclaws www.petful.com/pet-health/dewclaw-removal-dogs/ avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.248.2.162?journalCode=javma
My two year old yorkie caught her dew claw playing and ripped it. It was horrific! She was screaming and blood everywhere. It cost a few hundred to get it removed, local numbing, antibiotics. It was just awful, all of it.
No, the point of this is you're removing this nail which is not attached by a bone, because it is very weak and is prone to being ripped off if it catches on something. You remove it as a puppy to prevent a potentially painful and dangerous injury later.
Never remove the dew claw! All my dogs except my 15 month old boxer has a dew claw on left paw. Believe it or not the dew claw acts somewhat like a thumb. Do not remove it ever. It helps her to grip toys, bones, and agility, even when running according to some vets. It is a remnant left from wolf trait. Its painful to the newborns, and more so as an adult surgery. Yes it can get caught on things, and even snag on to your sweater. Be careful as it hurts the dog when it catches onto your clothes. Its never happened to us but possible. I see the difference and Sofia uses her dew claw to hang on to toys, bones and would you prefer to lose your thumbs because your parents do not like it very much? How much do we keep altering genetics, cosmetic ear surgeries, tail clipping, odd poodle trims where the dog is cold on some parts, and hot other parts of their bodies wo we have a crazy looking poodle cut for show. Let's just enjoy our pooches and get their vaccines, love, attention, exercise and good food. And crates suck! They hate being in them. Its a lie to justify our guilt that they magically want to be in a den by adulthood. Conditioning any animal, dog to go into their prison cage is possible and sad. Put the poor thing in at least an 8 foot by 4 foot dog kennel "crate" cage with a wire top. God, humans on death row are in bigger cages. I used the nice word crate with one dog for 8 hours a day and his spirit was dead by the time he was 12 months old. The word crate is so nice, and crate trained has become a good thing. Sad, find him or her a better home if a crate is needed for more 2 hours.
No animal need to be in any crate, cage, or backyard. They should have the freedom to move around like any other animal. People are selfish because they want a pet. Who thought of this crazy idea??? How would you like for someone to keep you as a pet? Let these animals go.
@CreativePower. Man shut up. You sound stupid. There is nothing wrong with using a crate or kennel. I don't see anyone going to the shelters, telling them not to put the dogs in crates or kennels 🤡
One puppy of mine has it's who back paws with them little toe handing like one of them turned black idk how to do it so I thought it might fall off on its own but I don't want them to infect the bbys blood ,they look like they where not fully developed at all like a little thumb handing ready to fall I might as well cut them off but I needed to know how to do this properly.
You can't tell me that does not hurt or cause trauma! Let's just cute off all babies pinky toes cuz someday they might stub our toe and break it. Makes no sense. They are fussy cuzz it hurts....pleaseeee
They fuss for about a second or less. I have it hundreds of times. And if I thought this was causing trauma I woukd not do it or recommend it I promise
Why do you need to know their colours specifically? Surely if you know the mums and dads wont that tell you what they are? What am i missing. Thanks james love your videos always learning
Off topic of dew claws but I just purchased a lilac merle with tan points he is 9 weeks and the left testicle hasn't fully descended. Do you think it will? It's literally right above where it needs to be. But I'm concerned.
i cajnt beleive these people delawing is not right cats always stand on their tiptoes and when you declaw them the have to satnd flat footed becuase it would always be pain fior these animaml
They're not removing all the nails, only the front dew claws. If you read other comments, if they are left on the front they can snag when the dog is older and tear off. Definitely painful and takes longer to heal.
Tbh, I wish I could get my 8 month old aussie declawed on all nails but it's barbaric at her age and not right to have all nails removed. But I am sick and tired of her jumping on me and my mom and leaving bruises and scratches. I'm covered in them. And yes, her nails are as short as they can physically go, any shorter and I make her bleed. My mom is on blood clot medication so she can bleed easily. I've tried teaching her to calm down and not jump but she gets so excited it's not possible. I guess we'll be keeping her training collar on for life until she learns not to jump up on people. 🤷♀️
that is cruelty to those puppies and unnecessary. before anyone decides to do this the way he is doing it, unclean and completely ghetto, i suggest youbresearch removal of dew claws. any animal modifications that are unnecessary do no do them. it is painful for the dog and the dog might not be screaming but it is in pain
What's wrong with you americans??? Declawing cats, devoicing dogs, cutting off ears and tails and toes .... Why get a pet and then change its shape? We've always had dogs and cats and none of them ever had a procedure of any sort done until it was strictly for medical reasons (only one of the dogs had a dew claw injury and only then did the vet take care of the claw, with anaestesia and proper pain and infection care. It was not a big deal). I don't want to inflict any pain on any living beeing if there is no reason for it. I don't pierce childrens ears or cut of any bodyparts on someone who cannot voice agreement or disagreement😮 By the way, the dew claws on the front legs are not useless, my dogs use them as a thumb to get a better hold of things like toys and chewing sticks. To me it seems that americans (among some other countries) are 20 years behind. Europeans used to do the same things but gladly we stopped. There are still some issues that need adressing (pig industrie for example) but we're trying to solve them. It's called progress
Obviously you've never had a dog injure a dewclaw. I sure wish my girl's had been removed at 1 day old like this because it would've saved her pain later...not to mention the vet bills.

@@LoveMyPups "There is some debate as to whether dewclaws should be surgically removed." You ripping it off with your hand isn't the most responsible thing to promote or the best thing for the pups. Wikipedia also shouldn't be your go to source generally speaking, but the article does what declaws are and their functionality.
Just honest feedback.

My two year old yorkie caught her dew claw playing and ripped it. It was horrific! She was screaming and blood everywhere. It cost a few hundred to get it removed, local numbing, antibiotics. It was just awful, all of it.
Great video! Where are you based out of? I’m interested in getting a French bulldog in the future.
Oklahoma
That should be illegal.
The vet does the same thing :) the vet
What size forceps do you use and can that make a difference?
This is so important for puppies to get this done to many cases where I’ve seen the dew claws ripped off it’s painful for the dogs later on 😢
Does the nail grow back
No, the point of this is you're removing this nail which is not attached by a bone, because it is very weak and is prone to being ripped off if it catches on something. You remove it as a puppy to prevent a potentially painful and dangerous injury later.
Do they still have a thumb when they get older or does it fall off
They don’t fall off by themselves
@@LoveMyPups do you have to cut them off
Great great video!!
Thank you so much for such a great informative video! I'm planing to do my first set near the end of the month
Never remove the dew claw! All my dogs except my 15 month old boxer has a dew claw on left paw. Believe it or not the dew claw acts somewhat like a thumb. Do not remove it ever. It helps her to grip toys, bones, and agility, even when running according to some vets. It is a remnant left from wolf trait. Its painful to the newborns, and more so as an adult surgery. Yes it can get caught on things, and even snag on to your sweater. Be careful as it hurts the dog when it catches onto your clothes. Its never happened to us but possible. I see the difference and Sofia uses her dew claw to hang on to toys, bones and would you prefer to lose your thumbs because your parents do not like it very much? How much do we keep altering genetics, cosmetic ear surgeries, tail clipping, odd poodle trims where the dog is cold on some parts, and hot other parts of their bodies wo we have a crazy looking poodle cut for show. Let's just enjoy our pooches and get their vaccines, love, attention, exercise and good food. And crates suck! They hate being in them. Its a lie to justify our guilt that they magically want to be in a den by adulthood. Conditioning any animal, dog to go into their prison cage is possible and sad. Put the poor thing in at least an 8 foot by 4 foot dog kennel "crate" cage with a wire top. God, humans on death row are in bigger cages. I used the nice word crate with one dog for 8 hours a day and his spirit was dead by the time he was 12 months old. The word crate is so nice, and crate trained has become a good thing. Sad, find him or her a better home if a crate is needed for more 2 hours.
No animal need to be in any crate, cage, or backyard. They should have the freedom to move around like any other animal. People are selfish because they want a pet. Who thought of this crazy idea??? How would you like for someone to keep you as a pet? Let these animals go.
@CreativePower. Man shut up. You sound stupid. There is nothing wrong with using a crate or kennel. I don't see anyone going to the shelters, telling them not to put the dogs in crates or kennels 🤡
@@CreativePower. You both are ridiculous. Go touch grass.
How much are the DNA per puppy?
About $135 ea
Good job I know that I can do this
Thank you
Thank you Awesome video ♥️
Any special care for after they are removed? What about mom licking them?
One puppy of mine has it's who back paws with them little toe handing like one of them turned black idk how to do it so I thought it might fall off on its own but I don't want them to infect the bbys blood ,they look like they where not fully developed at all like a little thumb handing ready to fall I might as well cut them off but I needed to know how to do this properly.
You can't tell me that does not hurt or cause trauma! Let's just cute off all babies pinky toes cuz someday they might stub our toe and break it. Makes no sense. They are fussy cuzz it hurts....pleaseeee
They fuss for about a second or less. I have it hundreds of times. And if I thought this was causing trauma I woukd not do it or recommend it I promise
Because it causes way more trauma when they get it caught when they are older. This is the way most breeders do it.
The vet does the same thing , thank youu
Awesome video
Vets recommend dog's need this claw and keep them trimmed.
No they don't
Thank you you so helpful
How do you introduce water to your pups
Why do you need to know their colours specifically? Surely if you know the mums and dads wont that tell you what they are? What am i missing. Thanks james love your videos always learning
They get dna from both parents it’s a mix
But you know exactly which parent gave what
A dna test is the answer
@@LoveMyPups thanks james! I can see why they are best removed my girl has dew claws and they are always getting in the way! Keep up the good work 👏
Off topic of dew claws but I just purchased a lilac merle with tan points he is 9 weeks and the left testicle hasn't fully descended. Do you think it will? It's literally right above where it needs to be. But I'm concerned.
Needs to drop by 6 months or neuter to avoid testicular cancer 😥
So you remove the back ones the same way?
What age should they be removed? Day 4, day 1, etc?
Very few dog breeds have back declaws, but yes. Newborn is best
Can you do the same thing with the back few claws?
Yes
This is why ppl turn off comments because ppl don't know how to be nice or mind their business. Smh
It can be a rough world. People can behave badly when anonymous.
But I have a thick skin. And not interested in continuing discussion that are mean with out a valid reason to be so
Now the entire bottle of alcohol is contaminated.
If the bacteria is surviving in the alcohol then we need a different antiseptic
When are these pups gonna be available
James, does UC Davis accept dew claws for DNA testing?
good question, I'm interested too
Animal genetics will I don’t know about Davis
Thank you
Isn't that like removing a thumb? No infections after?
Not ever👍
Why?
Great video thank you! We will be mating our girl in a few months and this has been one of my concerns.
Stop breeding!
Brilliant
i cajnt beleive these people delawing is not right cats always stand on their tiptoes and when you declaw them the have to satnd flat footed becuase it would always be pain fior these animaml
They're not removing all the nails, only the front dew claws. If you read other comments, if they are left on the front they can snag when the dog is older and tear off. Definitely painful and takes longer to heal.
My Labrador uses her dew claw constantly for scratching and holding chewy’s! Don’t mutilate your dog!!
Can this still be done at 2 weeks old
Wouldn't do it ...
No 7 days is pushing it
Y should we remove that y
Only if you want to
How barbaric shame on you.
Vet does the same thing :)
Tbh, I wish I could get my 8 month old aussie declawed on all nails but it's barbaric at her age and not right to have all nails removed. But I am sick and tired of her jumping on me and my mom and leaving bruises and scratches. I'm covered in them. And yes, her nails are as short as they can physically go, any shorter and I make her bleed. My mom is on blood clot medication so she can bleed easily. I've tried teaching her to calm down and not jump but she gets so excited it's not possible. I guess we'll be keeping her training collar on for life until she learns not to jump up on people. 🤷♀️
The audio really takes a hit
that is cruelty to those puppies and unnecessary. before anyone decides to do this the way he is doing it, unclean and completely ghetto, i suggest youbresearch removal of dew claws. any animal modifications that are unnecessary do no do them. it is painful for the dog and the dog might not be screaming but it is in pain
Shut up 🤡
Did you pierce your daughter’s ears when they were babies? Same thing…
Stop whining and grow up
@@mmjr881that’s barbaric
What's wrong with you americans??? Declawing cats, devoicing dogs, cutting off ears and tails and toes .... Why get a pet and then change its shape? We've always had dogs and cats and none of them ever had a procedure of any sort done until it was strictly for medical reasons (only one of the dogs had a dew claw injury and only then did the vet take care of the claw, with anaestesia and proper pain and infection care. It was not a big deal). I don't want to inflict any pain on any living beeing if there is no reason for it. I don't pierce childrens ears or cut of any bodyparts on someone who cannot voice agreement or disagreement😮 By the way, the dew claws on the front legs are not useless, my dogs use them as a thumb to get a better hold of things like toys and chewing sticks. To me it seems that americans (among some other countries) are 20 years behind. Europeans used to do the same things but gladly we stopped. There are still some issues that need adressing (pig industrie for example) but we're trying to solve them. It's called progress
This guy is clearly British
Barbaric and archaic.
I take it you’ve never had an adult dog get their dewclaw caught on something and ripped off
This helps the dogs in the long run you big dummy
Doesn't seem so
It benefits the pup/dog from serious injury while playing or running through thick brush or other similar environments.
Obviously you've never had a dog injure a dewclaw. I sure wish my girl's had been removed at 1 day old like this because it would've saved her pain later...not to mention the vet bills.
