Living the American Dream
Pet Implant Creator Marks
30 Years of Worldwide Success
Oak Grove (MO)- What began as a ‘nutty idea’ in a small Missouri community 32 years ago has grown into a Worldwide enterprise providing cosmetic procedural options for pet owner dogs, cats, horses or any animal that requires’ neutering, erect ears- or even eyeballs
Gregg Miller began his company after hesitating to alter his 194 lb Bloodhound
named Buck. Buck reached about a year in age when one morning he took off
and could not be found. Living in the county Miller discovered he could be anywhere in any direction, so he placed LOST posters on stop signs in a five-mile radius with the help of friends, after four painstaking days, the phone rang and Buck was seen by a farmer in his back field three miles away and was recovered.
Miller, like millions of other ‘neuter hesitant’ pet owners, dreaded transforming his male dog into female in appearance, Miller, who termed it as “turning your pet into a eunuch’ asked his Independence, MO vet if testicular implants were available when Buck was about to be altered. Dr RD Holder laughed and told Miller “That’s the craziest damn thing Ive ever heard of”. Miller told Dr Holder he was just a neurotic pet owner, However, ten days later when Miller took Buck back to have his stiches removed, Dr Holder told Miller “The more you think about testicular implants- the more sense it makes”
Miller created and trademarked the name Neuticles and the next two years Miller
And Dr Holder developed the implant. On Dec, 19, 1995 the first commercially implanted pet was ‘Neuticled’ before a throng of media covering the historic surgery.

“It began as a major news story in the Kansas City area and quickly spread to regional, national then Worldwide news” Miller said. Miller appeared on many
tv shows including The Tonight Show, David Letterman, The Daily Show and gave hundreds of radio interviews, He was awarded the IG Nobel Peace Prize for Medicine in 2005.
Humane societies Worldwide praised Neuticles as it encouraged those ‘neuter hesitant’ pet owners to neuter that simple would not before. Pet overpopulation dropped from over 20 million pets being destroyed to less than a million in 2024.
“As the years passed customers called who had Neuticled their pet and suggested an implant for pets bent or broken ears- so we created it. They asked for a prosthetic eye for their pet that lost an eye to disease or injury, so we created it” All of the other products on the neuticles.com website never existed before Miller, now 72, created them.
While Miller’s products were meticulously designed to be complication free and remain so today- those opposed to cosmetic surgery said ‘animals do not need’ cosmetic surgery. “They couldn’t honestly say Neuticles, PermaStay or CTeyes harmed a pet and never have- but did. They made up and spread lies about Neuticles in particular that were and are today criminal” Miller said.
“The market today has changed to some degree” Miller said. “For the most part our products are for the upper scale pet owner who knows they are safe and demand the very best for their pet”
Recently a Chinese company with US citizen operatives stole the trademarked Neuticles name and are marketing a crude version as Neuticles, The unknown non FDA approved materials are creating severe issues with pets damaging the Neuticles name.“ “We are warning pet owners and especially the veterinary community to beware and order only at www.neuticles.com.
“It’s actually kind of funny” Miller quipped, “These people are so ignorant they couldn’t think of their own product, are so ignorant they couldn’t think of their own name and amazingly call us asking how to correct the suffering they are creating to pets with their garbage ‘product’ ”
Miller said “I’m just as excited about Neuticles and the other products as the day I thought of their creation”, he said, Above all I thank pet owners and our veterinarians Worldwide for their support over the past three decades. For the upscale pet owner- we will be here when you need us”
