healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2021/06/07/dewclaws.aspx Story at-a-glance 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 growing increasingly unpopular with both veterinarians and pet parents The purpose of rear dewclaws is undefined, but there should be a compelling health reason to remove them My notes: I didn't even know that dewclaws were removed! I figure it's like the appendix. It's there for a reason & why mess with Mother Nature!

Yeah, not sure why they are removed and why has to be. Why remove them if no problem.
