Ah, a nice relaxing facial at the spa. Sounds great, doesn't it? Your dog thinks so, too, according to some pet owners. Yes, The New York Daily News reports that spa treatments like blueberry facials, blow drys and tooth brushings with specially flavored paste are all on the menu at some upscale pet boutiques, like Manhattan's Downtown Doghouse spa.

But some owners have gone past pampering to actual body modifications, like tattoos, earrings, tummy tucks and facelifts, according to the paper. One New York lawmaker has already proposed a law that would ban cosmetic alterations for pets in the state. So what do you think: would you get cosmetic surgery for your pet?

    Why would I want to get either of my dogs plastic surgery? They're both flipping adorable already. Besides, just wait until the animal rights activists get a hold of this... Pretty much guaranteed a to be a good show.

    By now, I think PETA will be at DEFCON 5 (Ivan Goes ALL OUT!) state of Mobilization. Won't be a boring Summer.

    Pets can't stand up for themselves in this situation.... Im pretty sure they don't want plastic surgery.

    I didn't think anything could be more ridiculous than cosmetic surgery for humans. I was wrong.

    I had a Shar-Pei who needed surgery for entropia, and believe if it is for s medical reason. That can of surgery is, but other wise it is nuts. Dogs do not care what they look like nor do they care what other dogs look like. Vanity is a Human Trait dogs are smarter than that.

    Cats are vain. I had a cat that would get upset if I called her clumbsy. I was surprised that she had learned that word, but apparently that was one of the 25 that they say cats are able to learn and understand.

    Two Pop books tell it:

    "All Cats have Asperger's" & "All Dogs have ADD". Just like Genders are from different planets.

    I think breeding animals to the point of suffering might be Immoral.

    In this case, sounds like a consequence of careless [in]breeding.

    A facil, a massage, tooth brushing, those are all perfectly fine for pets. Lots of dogs with longer fur and hair (poodles, etc.) already get blow drys - ask any show dog owner, however cosmetic tummy tucks is ridiculous. People if you have that much money to burn, donate it to the ASPCA, or a homeless shelter! However, if your dog has a serious over or under bite that affects its ability to eat somewhat normally, then by all means have surgery to fix that. As to that STUPID NY Lawmaker who wants to ban cosmetic alterations for pets, please; What the Hell do you think gives you are the right to tell rich folks how to spend their $$$$? - after all only the stupid rich would spend money like that!

    unless it is for a show dog. I know of a terrier that bit at her tail until it was to short to show her. If there was plastic surgery for that I would say good. My own terrier had her tail cut too short stupid people do not understand show standards. She isn't a show dog but I wish I could repair that tail. For pets it is foolish

    A pet cant say yes or no to this.. and I'd certainly count this as animal crulty.. heck I think its even dumb for people to get plastic surgury... unless of course they're superly ugly..n but some pets are so ugly its cute.
