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?

    Disturbing. If one needs to make pets more aesthetically pleasing they can probably do without pets at all.

    If you would do this to a pet, you would probably do it to a baby. Neither can speak consent or refusal, or understand the ramifications, and both are completely utterly helpless and dependent on you. Shame on these people.

    If only we could make them feel as insecure about their appearance as we do, then they'd be forced to pay for their own surgical alterations.

    I myself would be against it, but I guess I wouldn't support its illegalization either. However regulations are def in order. Pain should be minimized sparing no expense. NO EXPENSE.

    .... There's a difference between pampering and mutilating...

    Surgery on animals should NEVER be cosmetic. It's already pretty cruel to cut off tails and pin up ears for show if you ask me. I'd never be in support of THIS for your pets.

    Please, people, keep surgery for pets MEDICAL. They can't decide for themselves one way or another, so unless it's spay/neuter or a procedure that is NECESSARY, don't EVER do something as stupid as plastic surgery on your PET.


    Mutilate yourself with cosmetic surgery all you want, but keep your pets out of it.

    Those poor animals only get to live on this earth for a short period of time, and if their owners can afford to give them things that are relaxing and feel good and whatnot, then what the heck. I am against putting animals through discomfort and inconvenience just because their ditzy owners want them to have some kind of fancy, upscale decoration on their body or whatever. Forget that. Massages and stuff like that? If they like it, I like it.

    I chose cute only because "understandable" wasn't an option. I have worked in vet med for over 10 years and grooming is a family business for me. "blueberry" facials isn't what most would think. it's a blueing shampoo that takes care of tear stains on white dogs. tummy tucks are done on dogs that have been over bred and there teets acutually drag on the ground and cause "road rash". I have done several on puppymill rescue dogs. also I have done several cosmetic repairs on dogs that are going into shows because they got a minor cut that would have them thrown out of the ring. and brushing your dogs teeth??? just so you know, dental infection is one of the leading causes of heart faliure in dogs!

    excellent opinon, and those are good examples of the pros of said surgery. i think people who do THIS, though, if this is a real picture, need to be dragged into the street and stoned.
