Thank you SPCA East London, South Africa! PUPPY DOG TAILS. If you know of a breeder who docks puppies tails, report him/her to your vet or the nearest SPCA. Docking involves the amputation of the puppy’s tail with scissors or a scalpel. Sometimes rubber bands are used, although this method has never been advocated by veterinarians. The cut goes through many highly sensitive nerves in the skin, cartilage and bone. This procedure is usually performed without any anaesthetic, or with a local anaesthetic, at three to five days of age.
