Ear Cropping
Dr. Young has over 27 years of experience with cosmetic ear cropping of all breeds. His skill and technique are very precise and accurate. He specializes in Dobermans, Great Danes, Boxers, Bullies, Cane Corsos, Schnauzers, and Miniature Pinschers
The most crucial part to this surgery being successful is getting the surgery done at a young age. The longer you wait, and the longer crop you want, the more difficult it is for ears to stand properly. 8 weeks is ideal (especially with longer cuts), 12 weeks would be a standard cut off for short crops. They can be done after these ages but the outcome becomes more variable.
Prior to scheduling your ear crop, we will set up a consultation to discuss your desired length. There are several different crop lengths and styles including but not limited to short, medium, long, show crop. A great way to decide what crop you are wanting is to look at google images and bringing those images with you for your consult. Below are examples of cuts that we do.
What Our Clients Say
“Recently took my 8 week old Doberman to Guntersville Animal Hospital & Surgery Center to have his ears cropped and I could not be happier with the results. The staff answered all of my questions precisely before scheduling, the nurse that took him back was very knowledge and walked me through the process of the style/length I wanted and the recovery and racking process. The crop itself is the perfect length and exactly what I wanted, Dr. Young did a fantastic job! I will be recommending his ear cops to everyone.”

– Kriston
“Such a wonderful experience every time with this vet. They are friendly and helpful, and Dr. Young does a fantastic job cropping ears! I show them the crop style I want and that’s what they give me. Nice long crop with little to no bell. The whole process is easy and they’re very reasonably priced. Their office is nice, great location, easy to get in and out of, and as a long time breeder of Doberman Pinschers, I am bringing all my Dobermans here to be cropped.”
