Show dogs generally have their dew claws removed. When done at a couple of hours old it's a very minor thing but have no experience of the procedure for having them done later

As I mentioned in a previous post, Cesar goes in Monday to be neutered, so, I thought I would ask about having his dew claws removed. For some reason Cesar's dew claws were never removed and he has one on each of his front and hind legs. Recently, I noticed that they sometimes get caught up in his blanket, so I though maybe it would be wise to have them removed. I only talked to the vet tech but she said it is much more involved than just clipping, that it is surgery, like removing a toe, painful, with loss of blood. She said she would mention it to the vet but that her suggestion was to leave them alone. Comments?
