I am sorry, but the 2 are not the same!! My son was not done but by age 15 months he had seriously issues with the foreskin becoming blistered among other things. I kept my boy clean... He HAD to have the foreskin removed at 15 months. It was done under anesthesia and the next day he was up running around.
I had 2 other foster children who ended up with the very same issues. One of the you could not pull the skin back. I ran into this time and time again with foster children I had.
My first husband was also uncircumcised and he couldn't pull the skin back either. And he kept giving me infections.
When it is done correctly the skin is numbed and they do not feel it. Dogs however are never given anything to numb the tail.
So comparing these 2 things are IMO ridiculous!
