Yes they can. Max, the double merle deaf Cardigan rescue I fostered had his removed when he was about 18 months old. The nails had grown into his legs and they were removed when he was neutered. Makes walking a little tentative for a while, but it can be done. Most vets won't unless there are other issues involved.
