How to Protect Dewclaws?

Our dew claw protectors are supplied as a pair and can be quickly fastened around dog's front legs to protect the dew claws. The protectors are made from leather with fleece pad and strong velcro fastening.

How do you care for dew claws?

It's important to wash and rinse your mate's paws regularly, especially if he spends a lot of time outdoors. Wipe between each toe with a wet cloth, including around his dewclaws. This helps remove any irritants that can trigger allergic breakouts.

Can you bandage a dew claw?

Most, but not all, dew claw injuries may need to be bandaged. ... We will also usually provide a foot bag to keep the foot bandage dry. Please place the bag provided over the foot/paw bandage when taking your pet outdoors, to prevent the bandage getting wet or dirty.
