Although you can declaw a dog, it should only be done for medical purposes, and it must be done by a professional. A dogs claws are not nearly as sharp as a cats paws, so declawing really does not need to be done.
Declawing can mean removal of the entire claw, or a portion of it. Either way, it is very painful for a dog.
Dogs have a large amount of nerves in their nails, and can their nails can actually have blood vessels in them. This means that removing their claws is a complicated surgery, and it is very painful.
The only reason a dog should be declawed is for a medical reason.
It is best to trim your dogs nails if they get long.
