Cosmetic Ear Crops

Expert Ear Cropping With Compassionate, Skilled Care

At Tri-County Veterinary Clinic, we understand that ear cropping is a personal and sometimes traditional choice for dog owners. While it is a cosmetic procedure, it is also a surgical one—and it deserves the highest level of care, precision, and compassion. Our experienced veterinary team is committed to performing this procedure safely, humanely, and responsibly, always prioritizing the health and comfort of your puppy. Contact us today!

What Is Ear Cropping?

Ear cropping is a surgical procedure most commonly performed on breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, Schnauzers, and American Bullies. The procedure involves shaping the ears to stand upright, often in alignment with breed standards or traditional aesthetics. While some owners choose this option for appearance, it’s important to note that it should always be done under professional veterinary supervision.

When Should Ear Cropping Be Done?

For the best results, ear cropping should be performed on young puppies, typically:

• Between 6 and 10 weeks of age and under 20 pounds
• The cartilage is soft and easier to shape
• Delayed procedure may impact ear standing and recovery

Safety, Anesthesia, and Aftercare

Your puppy’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We make sure that:

• Surgery is done under full general anesthesia
• Skilled surgical team monitoring before, during, and after the procedure

You can feel confident knowing your pet is in expert, compassionate hands every step of the way.

Post-Operative Pain Management

We provide appropriate pain control and detailed aftercare instructions to support your puppy’s healing process. This includes bandaging and taping the ears to help them stand properly as they heal.

Healing and Ongoing Support

Healing and training cropped ears to stand takes time, patience, and commitment. Our team will guide you through every step of the process and is always available to answer questions, assist with follow-up visits, and provide re-taping if needed.
