Dr. Crowe has been the go-to in SC for ear crops for over 39 years. Clients seek her services from as far away as Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Examples directly below: Doberman, Great Dane, Dogo Argentino, Beauceron, Boxer, Cane Corso. FAQ below
40 year's experience cropping: Dobermans, Great Danes, Giant Schnauzers, Beaucerons, Pit Bulls, Boxers, Argentine Dogos, Cane Corsos. Show crops, pet crops, military crops.
Dr. Crowe likes to do the consult around 8 weeks or ideally as soon as you get your puppy. Weight should be less than 20 pounds (can be more on some breeds with shorter ears ike Pit Bulls, Cane Corso)
If you had an earcrop elsewhere and one or both of the ears failed to stand, your pet may be a candidate for TempaStay or PermaStay (a support for ears that failed to stand)..
The surgery should be done in a vet's office or animal hospital. You should be able to meet your vet and request the style and length of cut you want. You should look for someone with MULTIPLE years experience and they should be able to provide you with references from other ear crop clients as well as photos. Rely on your instincts... If something doesn't seem right or feel right, heed the warning. Dr. Crowe has had a couple of instances of "someone" stealing her website and social media images and creating fake pages and accounts. Dr. Crowe never travels to do ear crops and the price will never be $200. She only works at her surgery suite in her clinic in SC. We don't collecet deposits or paynents over social media, whatsapp or cashapp.

TESTIMONIAL
Michelle, former technician for Dr. Crowe "I worked for Dr. Crowe and have done many crops with her. She is a wonderful veterinarian. She treats every patient with complete love, compassion and empathy. She is a perfectionist when it comes to her crops. She is also wonderful with the pups for follow up visits. She has also fixed some badly done jobs and they came out so much better. I trust her more than any other veterinarian I’ve worked for. Bottom line is if you want it done the right way, take your pup here."
