Cosmetic Surgery For Dogs

Posted on 25. Jun, 2009 in Cosmetic Imperfections

Cosmetic surgery for dogs – the new craze amongst wives of Russian Oligarchs

10 Types of popular unnecessary plastic surgery include:

1. Feline De-Clawing

feline-declawing

What happens if Kitty starts scratching at your $45,000 hand bag?

Forget the time and effort required to train kitty, just take your feline friend down to your friendly cosmetic surgeon.

Feline de-clawing has sometimes been aptly named a “series of amputations.” Every last bone on your feline friends claw toes are removed (including the nerves, muscles and tendons.)

It might hurt but now your furry friend can cause no more damage to your designer hand bags.

2. Testicular Implants

Now an oligarchs guard dog can be neutered without the inevitable drop in macho image due to his lack of cojones.

Neuticles are implanted during the neutering operation and look exactly like the real thing.

“He licks them like they’re real, and I can tell he would rather have them than nothing,” says Ryan.

At $400 a pair these plastic testicles don’t come cheap.

3. Canine Tail Docking

In order to improve the beauty of some dogs, the end of their tail is chopped off. Most countries have now decided to ban tail docking but it is still legal in the oligarch homeland of Russia.

4. Canine Nose Job:

Surgery is at hand if your Bulldog is getting bullied about his big nose or more importantly is having congenital breathing problems. Nose jobs help can help your bulldog breath more clearly and it may even help their self esteem.

5. Doggy Breast Reduction.

Some Bitches can have such floppy bosom following pregnancy that reduction via surgery is the only option. I am still wondering if doggy breast enlargement exists but I don’t fancy entering the dark world of bestiality.

6. Ear Straightening

Whilst not a particularly common problem in humans, the problem of ear dropping affects dogs worldwide. Dr Edgard Brito was the first plastic surgeon to successfully complete this treatment.

His patient Bruto (see picture) had one ear that drooped which meant the end of his show dog career. By injecting Bruto’s ear with Restylane (used in humans for wrinkle removal), Dr Brito was able to restore Bruto’s ear to its non-droopy state.

7. Dog Face Lift

canine-skin-fold-problems

There are some cases of cosmetic surgery for dogs that are not just to improve appearance. Due to intense breeding, some breeds such as bulldogs have so many skin folds that it can lead to infection and discomfort.

Most cosmetic skin fold surgery is around the eyes, tails, lips and vaginal area.

8. Eye Replacement

If Bruno loses his eye don’t settle for a doggy eye patch. For $2000 you could get your pooch a Terminator eye that would send shiver down the spine of would be intruders

9.Removing Red Panties

Did Bruno just eat a pair of red panties? Don’t despair help is at hand.

Dr Michael Pavletic of Boston Angell Animal Medical Shelter told reporters that he recently extracted the pair of red knickers from the a dogs abdomen (the panties did not belong to the owner.)

10. Doggy Braces

Normally if your dog cracks his teeth, you just get them removed. With money no object, the option of dog braces is no longer ludicrous.

I wonder if a savage Rottweiler with lime green braces would still strike fear into would-be intruders?

Declawing and docking, ear straightening, face lift, braces, Dear God what is this world coming to, for sheer cruelty and selfishness the human race cannot be beaten.

It’s disgusting that some people put their animals through these cruel un-neccessary procedures and even more disgusting that some Vets, trained to help animals, will mutilate them in any way to keep clients happy and their bank balance topped up !

My beautiful Maltese just had several teeth removed because of decay (their teeth apparently not one of the breed’s strong points) and the physical difference is tremendous. With his underbite and the bottom fangs pointed in opposite directions, he looked like a small, fuzzy bulldog! Now he looks more like the breed is supposed to, but , good Lord, I don’t think I’d have had it done just for the sake of cosmetics. And the fake balls say more about the owner than mere words could ever do.

My schnauzer’s ears are not cropped, and he looks adorable. Why is the US (not Britain, France, etc) the only country that allows the ears to be butchered (cropped) when they’re puppies. Why doesn’t the Humane Society bring this to the attention of dog lovers?!

if it is done to prevent infection of your dog, and you have the money, ok.

Why is tail docking so common in the U.S.A.? E.g, Rotties and Bulldogs, etc. Why remove Dew Claws? Stop mutilating animals for cosmetic reasons!

what is worse is the fact that humans have created breeds that have such flat faces thay can not breath or drink correctly. Bites so bad they can’t eat correctly. Have so many folds of skin that they get skin infections. Most all those types of breeds are also unable to breed naturally and is all done A.I. and must have c-sections to deliver pups. that is cruelty

wouldn’t it be great if we treated our fellow human beeings with the kindness and affection we show our pets?

EXCUSE ME?
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard…sounds like he’s anthropamorphasizing …
Dogs could give a rats ass about having balls, unless its a rubber one to chase.
Sounds like a man problem to me.
Why so many men have problems with the idea of castrating their dogs ( and controlling the massive unwanted pep problem) is beyond me.
I guess they think of their own testicles…surprise!!!!!

I fail to see how this differs from the ear and tail trimming that Boxers, Dobermans and other breeds have endured for centuries.

Tail docking, ear cropping and dew claw removal in certain breeds is NOT DONE for COSMETICS, breeds that require those procedures were HISTORICALLY done to help the breeds perform their FUNCTIONS SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. These procedures, when performed by veterinarians, are very safe and virtually pain free.

They were designed to improve the health and welfare of those breeds.

Barbaric!! Torture!! How would they like it done to them!
Let them FEEL the pain it causes.
Let’s cut off your fingers,ears,breasts and (tail?) butt.
Where are the animal rights organizations?
Why not spend their money doing good things for animals (helping out rescue organizations for example).

I’m not sure how this isn’t considered to be a form of animal cruelty or to be inhumane. Procedures deemed to be “medically necessary” should be the ONLY procedures performed on animals. However, we can’t blame Russia when in America we perform animal product testing which is just as sadistic.

I just can’t imagine the unnamed pain these canines are suffering! At one end of the world, people include their meat as a staple diet and at the other end they are making them the next Paris Hilton or Michael Jackson. Kalki is on the way…. thats all i can say!

Um, why pick on Russia? Do you have any empirical data that these things are more prevalent there? Oh, wait, I forgot, picking on Russia is a vintage chic trend left over from the Cold War

Of course people will think declawing is cruel if you show a picture like that. The procedure is done under general anesthesia, and incisions are made to facilitate access and make sure it’s not barbaric, like that picture. They don’t just hold the claw and chop it off like some kind of medieval torture method. Complications come from unskilled surgeons, not the procedure itself. Vastly more often than not, the worst thing about it for the cat is that the bandages annoy them.

In castration, a dog looses his balls and the scrotum is left in tact which eventually shrinks to nothing. Seems to me it would be no more painful since healing from the surgery is already inevitable…to fill the scrotem with fake testicles regardless if it’s for peace of mind for the human or the dog.

BTW, a human can have no way of really knowing if castration effects the psychi of an animals. It is well documented by animal behaviorist, that animals can smell, recognize and have different reactions to gelded animals.

If you have the money and the notion it’s going to make your dog happier, I say let the poor pooch lick and enjoy ‘em even if they aren’t real.

Ok first of all I work in the veterinary industry.

I agree that tail docking, de clawing, ear cropping are all bad.

Breast reduction and eye replacement surgery Ive never heard of and the picture this site uses is actually taken from another page – its a spey procedure.

The face lift and nose jobs for dogs are only neccessary because breeders have deformed these dogs so much that some of them require the surgery to be able to function properly. Its not because people dont like the look

I also think if people are retarded enough to get fake nuts for their dogs let them. Atleast the dog wont be able to breed and these people can’t have access to any more puppies and the dogs risk of cancer is greatly reduced

This is not just a russian thing its global

I read the site & you have some of the biggest cry babies I’ve ever seen. When a person of the law do something, they say it’s for the well being of the pet. Even when they don’t really know that to be true. People everyday do things to cows, pigs, chickens, lobsters & etc. They just don’t say anything about that form of cruelty. Due to we choose to eat those animals & house dogs & cats. Really you could make anything into a pet. As big as a horse, down to the size of an ant. It’s up to that person to take care of that pet. Rather they should need shots, a new working eye, work on their teeth, a pair of undergarments removed from their abdomen, uninfected skin, ear repair, better equality in breathing, a relief in the amount of breast tissues load (unless you’re a heavy chest woman, you wouldn’t understand just how much of a relief), & really if you live in an apartment & every time you leave to go to work ; your beloved boxer trys to claw its way down to the floor below; you would understand how De-clawing him could very well save his life. Really now people some Cosmetic Surgeries are not just for “shits & giggles”. Some people just take the title of the surgery out of hand & run with it. Some people may love their pet but have to much money & get way out of hand…Please remember when pointing fingers, that at least three point back at you.
