Hi Bull, ear cropping dogs is illegal in the UK unless it is done for medical reasons.

Pink Floyd Dogs ( Part 2 )
Hi i know but i thought it was pointless when legal in Ireland just a boat trip over and you can slice and dice your dog. I looked into buying a Doberman with cropped ears and tail and the price was expensive so bought a pedigree GSD as i know the breed thoe he is the last will not have any more with Vet bills getting expensive.

You are right about vet bills, my sister in law has just paid £700 to have six of her cat’s teeth extracted, plus another £150 if she wanted a biopsy! We take our pup to Broadway vets and the vets there all seem to be under 30, this is probably because they have all made enough dosh by then to retire very early. And don’t get me started about out of hours charges.

Tell her to change to BIRCH VETS, ( providing they will take on a new client at the moment). she could have had 3 cats done for that price! Broadway have always been ridiculously expensive. Birch don't try to push extras on you, either. My cats have never need a biopsy for teeth.

There are facts yet to be revealed about a member of Birch veterinary team that may change your opinion. Make your own enquires.

With more and more medical and dental items being removed from the NHS list, it would be wise to see if you can afford your own bills before taking on a pet whose bills could be more than your own.

I don't have a pet because I couldn't afford the insurance on top of other expenses for that pet.
