Yes, Julia from ‘Desus & Mero,’ dog braces may be a ‘white woman thing’
You learn something new everyday. And I’m now learning pet tips about dog eye doctors, pet insurance and one other pup health tip I never knew existed — until today. On Showtime’s “Desus & Mero,” Julia (warm-up moderator for the show) asked, “Would you ever get your dog braces if he really needed it?” And the look on co-host Desus’ face matched mine.
Even as a 22-year dog owner and yearlong dog care specialist, I still don’t claim to know everything about them. And I was Today Years Old when I learned that there are braces for the four-legged animals who I have chased around to stop chewing on rocks, split bones, sticks, plastic, every possible thing in a garbage can (besides lettuce) and antlers. Judging from my own reaction and the Bodega Boys’ facial expressions, I can only assume that Julia may be right when she joked that it must be a “white woman thing.” While there may be other groups who have paid for (or heard of) this pet procedure, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume it’s not as common as one may think.

According to Mother Nature Network, not only have pet health professionals such as Dr. Dale Kressin put somewhere around 65-75 orthodontic appliances on dogs, but he’s also managed to do so on cats. I can only imagine how that went. Personally speaking, I have a bone to pick with dog owners who are determined to make furry four-legged animals into small toddlers.
