We would never consider it because we had kids and dogs and the cats needed their claws. But yes it should be banned. We don't declaw dogs.

I wish we'd trained them to sit still to have them trimmed, as now the kids are grown and dogs not puppies either, but it's no big deal. Just don't get expensive furniture.

We don't declaw dogs? Removing the dew claw is very common on dogs.

That one doesn't help them, though. I just mean the dogs are all scratching up everyone's floors, but then they declaw the cats? I can get a couch cheaper than getting the floors refinished. And puppies CHEW stuff too. Our dogs have done more damage than our cats.
