I agree -- rehome before debarking! What happens if you put your dogs through this debarking and then you get caught with them on campus and are told they must leave? What would you do then? Whatever it is, do that now instead. Think of your dogs instead of yourself. If dogs are against campus rules, then don't bring them on campus. I don't think anyone should think they are above the rules especially to the point that they would mutilate their dog just to keep them hidden. What happens if after debarking, they keep running out in the open where they could be seen? Will you find someone to hobble them?
It would be a simple procedure to make a person mute also. Hardly any harm done, except the loss of your voice. Would you want that? I don't think your dogs do either.
I have never heard of anyone but puppymillers debarking dogs! I did not realize a reputable vet would even do that! |
