Is it okay for a vet to dock my adult bulldog's tail cosmetically?

Question

Can a vet dock a grown bulldogs tail?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

It's not recommended, and I don't think many vets would do it. That's because docking a tail is extremely painful, and a vet would not want to put a dog thorough a painful procedure simply for a cosmetic reason. You can ask vets in your area if they will do it, however.
