[nagdu] Boots and Dew Claws

[Darla Rogers]

Hi Raven,

	I wasn't arguing with you; I wonder shy some schools retain the dew
claws and some don't/  They don't serve a purpose for the dog anymore, do
they?

Hi,
I refuse to use the booties that GEB provided because my Golden Guy's dew
laws were damaged. The Golden Guy has poor nail health, and the booties
rubbed against the dew claws and caused them to rub against the inner side
of his paws. In turn, the pad of his right dew claw was ripped open from the
friction, and the left dew claw cracked and chipped, and caused a wound. So
now I use the thin rubber booties made by Pawz, which I choose not to pull
over the dew claws.
