The only way a vet will dock a tail in the UK is if there is an injury, or if the dog is a working dog. When I worked at a clinic there were so many people who would attempt to do it themselves, and end up seriously injuring their pups, or leaving them with no tail at all. Most decided that it would be painless if done at a few days old, which is totally disgusting and ridiculous.
(sorry if i have upset anyone, but it is something i feel strongly about) |
