I can only say i have been doing my pups dew claws for the past nearly 25 years & are always done within the first 24 hours.
NEVER have i had a pup open its mouth & bawl!!
The most i have EVER had is an irrated groan & then go straight back off to sleep or resumed feeding off mum.
If done correctly & within the correct time, its quick, painless & far kinder than an adult dog having to endure pointless anesthetics for a far bigger job.
2 Rescue Lurchers i have had over the years, both pets NOT working dogs ripped their dew claws off out running in the woods & both had to suffer needless anesthetics & ops for something that could easily have been avoided.
I think as many people have stated already, a job CORRECTLY done by an EXPERIENCED person can save a lot of heartache & pain to an adult dog.
Just my opinion
