Candice,
   I have never figures out why dogs love cat food.  I heard somewhere 
years ago that it was ok for cats to eat dog food but not ok for dogs to eat 
cat food.  Does anyone know why?
   Early spay/neuter has been proved to be safe and easier on the dog. 
Usually the deciding facter is whether or not the Vet is comfortable with 
doing it.  My vote is to tell the Vet not to remove the dew claws.  We've 
had Pyrs for 36 years and never had one injure a dew claw.
