So I have been considering tattooing my babies and wanted to see if anyone has done this?
That was done pretty routinely back in the 70s and 80s. Once microchipping was invented, it went out of style for dogs as far as I know. If a thief is going to take out a microchip, wouldn't they get the tatoo removed too? I think it's less painful for the dog to have the microchip put in. Then you have to keep a constant eye on you Yorkie so it doesn't get stolen.
