Neuticles

Have you neutered your pup? Feeling like something's missing? Well now there's an answer. That's right -- Neuticles -- testicular implants for dogs.

I know that men have a real issue about neutering their dogs, but from what I understand, neutered males live longer than unneutered males. Plus, in LA (where I lived when I got Gus), they charge a significantly larger fee if you register an unneutered dog. But that really wasn't part of my decision.

I had Gus neutered when he was six months old - that's the youngest they can be when you do it. He seems okay about it - still likes me 'n all. Doesn't seem to have an attitude about it.

So, why the Neuticles? I'm thinking it's for men who feel that their male dogs are somehow feminized without those parts.

Of course, the website itself is worth a look just for comedic value. After all, they quote Rush Limbaugh:

"Neuticles are just plain neat!"Rush Limbaugh

And then there's the sizing chart and pictures of the Neuticles...'nuff said.

Whoops...maybe not. From the FAQs (Do you think this really is a frequently asked question?):

Can Neuticles be implanted in people?
Absolutely not. While the material used for Neuticles is FDA approved, a second FDA approval is required by law for each area of the human body an implant is placed. No company, including Neuticles, has FDA approval for solid silicone or polypropylene testicular implants. Neuticles are perfectly safe for pets but cannot be used on people.
