TweetAbsolutely 100% against cutting ears and tails off dogs. Declawing a cat maybe as long as the cat is going to be an inside cat and never has to defend itself against a predator.
As for docking a tail-I read about that and a dogs tail is important for balance, coordination, movement, proprioception, etc...Dogs need their tail. Also, there is no need whatsoever to crop a dogs ears. NEVER.
