My cat Mollie Rose had double dewclaws when she was born. The vet told me they needed to be removed because if they ever got caught on something, they could be torn out and she'd bleed to death. It was done at the same time she was spayed. Would I ever declaw my cats???

NEVER, EVER!!!

There is no difference in declawing a cat or a dog. It IS amputation. I have never heard of anyone declawing a dog though.
