They're also available for your pet in case they are feeling depressed and self conscious after being neutered.

How about some silicon balls

At $699 a pair for a custom size, they probably aren't even going to need venture funding!

I love Neuticles. I think they are one of the best products on the market for dogs. I can picture this endorsement:

Customer: After I had my first dog, Scamp, snipped, he just didn't lick himself with the same enthusiasm. When we were going to get our second dog, Arny, snipped we heard about neuticles. After they removed his manhood, we had the install a big ole pair of neuticles. He was unsure of himself for a few days. He sniffed at them tentatively, gave them a lick and he was hooked. I decided to get a pair for Scamp installed. And boy was he happy. Now, both dogs lick themselves with the same enthusiasm as if they had real balls.

Arny & Scamp: (in unison) Woof! Woof!

I do not believe that comparing the safety of RFIDs implanted into pets is an indicator of safety in humans.

RFIDs in pets are very seldom interrogated, typically the only time that they will be interrogated is for testing following implantation. The typical liefespan for cats and dogs is less than 20 years.

RFIDs in humans that are used as identification would likely be interrogated several times a day. There are possible scenarios where implanted RFIDs could be interrogated dozens of times a day. The typical lifespan for humans is at least three or four times the typical lifespan for a cat or dog.

Although they are not breasts and they are made of silicone rubber rather than silicone gel, silicone testicular implants are being used in animals. http://www.neuticles.com/

If the terms of service require the disclosure of the use of Neuticles?

Anybody else read that as "Neuticals"?

Fake nuts for dogs - really!

That be the first from RMS! =)

For maximum effectiveness, you need to direct your advertisements more carefully at the target market. If your callers are primarily nuetered dogs, you should consider playing to your customers promotional material for products such as:

• Silicone prosthetic testicles

The scary part is that there actually is such a product on the market. From their page:

Neuticles allowing [sic] your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering.

Umm...yeah. Whatever. That sounds like the kind of thing the old biddy with the toy poodle/Chihuahua/Pomeranian/[insert annoying small-dog breed here] that never stops yapping would buy for the little beast.

• Cuts a window in it and puts KEWL FLASHING NEON LIGHTS INSIDE! W00t!
• Neuters it but gives it NEUTICLES so it won't know that it's been altered!
• Enters it in the swimming competition on Techno Games!
• Runs it for President in 2004!
• Remembers that Sony is still a member of the RIAA and MPAA so they take it back to Fry's where they give no questions asked refunds for up to 30 days after purchase!

(Had to find an imaginative way of driving that point home yet again...I'm almost as bad as that Roman Senator who always would add "Carthage must be destroyed" to every speech he gave...)

This is the sort of thing that makes me want to get fake testicles for my pet boa constrictor.

Now I can't stop thinking about someone filing the 'extrasmall' off of them and relabelling them 'large', ala Pentium IIIs...
