Cosmetic Surgery For Dogs
Posted on 25. Jun, 2009 by admin2 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
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
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

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.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with cosmetic surgery for pets… I have personally performed a breast enlargement on my pet mouse pinky, and a face lift on Tweetie Pie the budgie. With their new looks both Pinky and TP are much more confident and sociable and in fact after many weeks of singledom Tweetie has met a lovely Parrott called Perky and they are planning to get married in June and fly away into the sunset together.

I was amused by the title that now dogs also need a cosmetic surgery. By reading few sub titles, I will add that,
The history of cosmetic surgery for animals trace back to ancient ages. Like cutting of ears to reduce their length, removing nails, removing unhealthy teeth and removal of excessive hair.

Why is it that whenever something like this comes out, people immediately look to the US to blame. I’m sorry, but most of these cosmetic procedures started out in countries other than the U.S. The only reason the US still has them while many other countries have stopped, is because here we are a free country. It requiresmuchmore research among other details for the US to outlaw something all of a sudden, and to tell people they cannot such procedures anymore. So please, as much as I agree that this is horrible, don’t blame the US because it’s easier for you to stomach. We arn’t your damn scape goat.

Lisa, your stupid. First of all, animals are quadrapeds. They use different muscles to support their weight. Because of this, having a little extra breast doesn’t effect them the same as a heavy chested women may be affected. Also, many of the procedures claimed to be eye lifts, nose jobs, and teath procedures were ALREADY Veterinry procedures to begin with, not cosmetic. However, Cosmetic surgeons like to call them nose job and eye lifts to advocate the necessity of procedures that ARE NOT necessary and rather are not worth the risk of surgery. Like fake testicles, and “tummy tucks”. Fake testicles may give your dog something to lick people, but the truth of the matter is that your pet is undergoing anesthesia, and surgery for no good reason. Every time an animal goes under surgery, it risks it’s life, however a minor risk. But, this is why you do not set up these procedures unless absolutely necessary. Cosmetic surgions only change the names of certain necessary Veterinary procedures so that you yourself advocate so called “cosmetic surgery” and tell others to do the same. Now all of a sudden everything is okay to do, fake tests, breast reductions and whatnot. The fact of the matter is, ANY NECESSARY PROCEDURE that will help your pet physically, IS NOT ACTUALLY a cosmetic procedure, DUH! But procedures that promise to heighten your animals ‘self esteem” or that take AGE old GENETIC features like skin folds and droopy eyes, it is a cosmetic procedure. Infections are rare and usually due to neglect from the owner. People, do your research before you chop up your pets and put them back together, for gods sake!

I don’t see the problem with any of the procedures listed. Most are done with the wellness of the animal at mind. Also I find it kinda funny that the picture they used for docking is a prime example of why they should dock dogs. That’s a tail injury that would have never happened had the dog been docked. I have a doby and his ears, tail and dewclaws were all done and he doesn’t care now. It doesn’t effect him in the slightest actually. In fact, when my dog got attacked by another dog his ear cropping saved his ear. Had it been a natural ear it would have been ripped right off. Fortunately the Rottie who attacked him couldn’t get a grip and my doby got a small cut inside the ear instead. I agree with Lisa, your all a bunch of cry babies.

Declawing? Tail docking? People who do this to their animals should be charged with animal mutilation and banned from keeping pets. Sick freaks.
If you dont want a dog with a long tail, dont get one. If you dont want a cat clawing your handbag, either put your bag away or dont get a cat. Simple.

“It might hurt but now your furry friend can cause no more damage to your designer hand bags.”
-Its terrible! Its a real creature and not a doll. if your kitty does that you just have to put your bag another place were the kitten cant reach. poor litle creatures cant defend themselves.!
Do never do this to your animal. Its not a stuffed pet its a alive pet hwo can feel the pain .

Me and my wife constantly joke about my English labs giant jowls… Tonight I jokingly looked up dog plastic surgery and came across this. It made us lol that we could get a doggy face lift and get those wet saggy chunks of meat removed from his face….. But alas I <3 my dog and don't really care that his jowls are soggy and keep his chest perpetually wet. He is a dog, and slobber dries.

seriously people -___- get a life some of these things are done for good reason and with good care… if someone got their eye removed they’d want a fake one..that’s obviously what the owners thinking when she gets her dog the fake balls…and if you learned to read you would see that the face lift actually helps the dog to see and breathe and against infection.. and so ya maybe they shouldn’t breed that type of dog.. but u look that dog in the face and tell it you wish it wasn’t alive… kthxbaii

This is horrible, most of them are absolutely unnecessary and there is no reason why you should allow your poor dog to go through the intense pain of recovery. I understand if it is essential for their health but I find it terrible that people do this simply for the appearance of their pet. I find it equally as sickening that people care more about their designer handbags than a real living creature. They don’t care enough about their cat to move the useless piece of material somewhere else.

Alicia and a couple of others on here, I have Bulldogs, healthy ones, you shouldn’t jump on our breed because of the bad breeders, why not look at the good ones??? On Facebook is a group “the league against pedigree breed bashing” go and take a look at the videos of healthy Bulldogs. That Bulldog on there has nothing wrong with it, the soreness is caused once again by humans not cleaning them properly. You take on a dog with wrinkles, take a few minutes a day to wipe them out, simple! The problem with Bulldogs comes from the pound signs ringing in peoples ears who know nothing or care nothing for the breed, and breed anything with anything faults and all. once again though its the rest of us who get slandered for breeding unhealthy dogs.

Ear cropping and tail docking are basically cosmetic surgery procedures for dogs. Studies reveal puppies feel pain when they are docked at 3 days old. Cropping is painful too and requires weeks pf recovery, I don’t understand why these brutal practices are not banned as in other countries.

Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when
opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give
you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!
