Laser ear cropping is a relatively new procedure that's gaining popularity among dog owners. It's a less painful and less invasive alternative to traditional ear cropping methods.
This procedure uses a laser to remove excess skin and cartilage from a dog's ears, resulting in a more precise and controlled removal of tissue. The laser also reduces bleeding and swelling, making the recovery process easier for dogs.
Laser ear cropping can be done on dogs of any age, but it's most commonly performed on puppies between 8 and 12 weeks old. This is because the ears are still soft and pliable, making the procedure less complicated.
