These days, itโ€™s not enough to just bring Spot to the groomer. If you really want your dog to dazzle โ€” and you have a chunk of cash to spend โ€” you can take him in for a nip-tuck.

Edgard Brito, a Sรฃo Paulo vet and plastic surgeon, told DuJour that he wants his procedures to make pets more lovable to their owners. โ€œI often say that a clean dog with well-kept teeth will always be in better contact with its owners, otherwise the dog ends up being [put to sleep],โ€ he said.

Brito, whoโ€™s been called the worldโ€™s go-to dog surgeon, performs procedures to glam up caninesโ€™ appearances: Botox to perk up the ears of a Doberman, nose jobs, face-lifts and testicular implants such as Neuticles to help neutered pets regain their masculinity.

โ€œDogs of the Upper East Sideโ€ artist Linda Olle told DuJour, โ€œI knew someone who planned to get his bulldog puppy ball implants. He said he thought it would make the dog look and feel better about himself.โ€ She had her doubts, she said, but then recalled how happy sheโ€™d seen friendsโ€™ pets after, say, a haircut.
