In order to clip the ears of your pitbull, it is adviced that you have professional preparation. It can only be done if your pet is at the right age to go through it. You will easily find a lot of people who are against the idea of ear clipping as it inflicts a lot of pain. Sometimes, people will call this an act of mutilation.
First thing is first, ask yourself why would you want to clip the ears of your pitbull? Are you going to sign him up for a pet show? If yes, then that is understandable, despite still frowned upon. However, if you just want to do it for appearance sake, then I advice you to drop the idea. An open wound at the ears heightens the risk of infection.
How about getting them a toy? Buy them a nice puppy shirt to let them look good. Why not give them a new haircut? I believe they will just adore and love you much more than ever!
Another reason that makes Ears Clipping For Pitbull a bad idea is that your pitbull may not enjoy an ear rub as all dogs do. Subjecting them through the pain of having their ears clipped and wounded is enough reason for them not desiring anyone to touch their ears ever again! Where is the joy in traumatizing your pitbull and then to let the aftermath impact their psychological well being? Till the day they die, they will forever carry that psychological pain with them.
It is the same as how one person would be afraid of the dark for the rest of her life after being robbed in a dark alley before. Some fears remain with us for life! You may think that engaging a psychologist's help would make it all go away. Sometimes it just doesn't for us. Try imagine being a dog and asking for psychological help. That is not going to work. Is that even possible to consider?
Maybe you really need to clip your pitbull's ears, for show or competition. At least wait for the right age before you do it. There is an age period where the pitbull's ears are fine for clipping and you can't do it too soon before or too late after it. Doing it by yourself is the worst idea one could ever come up with as you are most likely to make a mistake. Besides creating a mess, you are likely to send your pitbull to heaven earlier than scheduled. I suggest you get your facts straight from a professional such as a vet and see if you should proceed with the clipping. If yes, then ask them how old should a pitbull be to have its ears clipped? This is the least you can do to make sure the procedure goes uneventful.
