One of the hottest trends for the Hollywood crowd is cosmetic procedures for pets. Veterinarians have reported a spike in requests for eye lifts to tummy tucks for man's best friend.
In Los Angeles, where image is everything and a bulldog can have an Instagram page that generates more income than its owner earns, pets must look purr-fect.
Pet surgeries fall into two categories: corrective (eyelid lifts for vision problems) and aesthetic (tightening of wrinkles and tummy tucks). Animal dental specialists do canine braces and veneers.
According to Django Mantel, an oral surgeon at NYC's Animal Medical Center, "only a tiny number of dogs get braces for cosmetic reasons, but it is getting more prevalent. The majority of braces are animals who have genetic issues or are from accidents."
And so it goes.
