Who would have thought there is a cosmetic surgery connection between Miss Universe contestants and well…dogs. A shocking report by the Orange County Register reports that dogs, like beauty queens – including this years Miss Universe Venezuelan stunner Dayana Mendoza – are going under the knife of surgeons and vets alike to enhance their looks and chances of winning.
Though today we consider cosmetic surgery to be quite blasé and the laws are considerably lax, those for dogs are surprisingly stringent. Today, any one of us can walk in for a consult to a local plastic surgeon asking for a rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, or a face-life, but our pups on the other hand have to abide by a number of rules restricting their physical enhancements. According to the OC Register article, “It’s allowed only if the history of the breed includes practices such as cropping the tail or ears.” Unlike the Miss Universe contest, dog beauty pageants forbid plastic surgery for their canine contestants just looking to fluff up their ears or fix their drooping jowls.
Alongside the many critics of tail docking and ear cropping in the competitive arena, some veterinarians and owners find such procedures to be beneficial for the dogs. Though women and men flock to cosmetic surgery by the thousands every year, we hardly deem it essential and necessary to our existence as these somewhat fanatical dog owners perceive it to be. Which is why the laws circulating around the canine cosmetic industry are intact to impede the masses of competitive contestants hoping to nip or tuck something on their beloved pets.
In Venezuela beauty and plastic surgery are inseparable, just as they are in many big cities in the US. If you’re interested in cosmetic surgery, onlinsurgery.com can refer you to a number of renowned plastic surgeons in your area.
