More And More Dog Owners Are Getting Plastic Surgery For Their Pets

Dog owners are visiting animal hospitals to see how they can make their pets “more pleasing to the eye”.

An owner posted up before and after photos of their dog getting surgery to make their eyes bigger – a common practice among human plastic surgery.

Another bragged in her blog post about how “beautiful” her Shar Pei puppy looked after getting double eyelid surgery and botox for its natural wrinkles.

Dogs are put through eye enhancement surgery, cutting the tail, raising their ears, botox, wrinkle-removing procedures, double eyelid surgery, and more.

Some procedures involve removing the fat from the legs and even making their stomach lines “prettier”.

The procedures are reported to be starting from as low as $60 to thousands of dollars.

What’s worse, the medical professionals are advocating the cosmetic practice.

A dog owner named Miss Lim visited the vet with her five-month-old puppy to get vaccinations when the veterinarian asked if she wanted her dog to receive cosmetic surgery.

“After looking at his face closely, the veterinarian pointed out the gap between her mouth and asked,’Isn’t that a little uncomfortable to see from a cosmetic perspective?‘”

What began as a procedure to help dogs’ medical problems, many owners are now receiving them for vain reasons.
