my new pet yokie is seven weeks old could i still get his tail docked at this age and will this tramautize him?

Optional Information:
Male; Breed: yorkie

Already Tried:
he is only seven weeks of age and i'm unsure weather or not its too late to cut his tail but i also do not want him to look odd as an adult with a long tail since he is a pure breed

ACCEPTED

You can dock his tail but many people opt to leave it natural. If you want to save yourself some money, you can have it done at the same time as his neuter.

I truly think that they are much cuter with all their parts!

To specifically answer your question, it's hard on them the older they get.

Let me know if you still have questions.
