Where would you put a tatoo? Inside the thigh or ear?
Does anyone have an opinion on this practice?
I know microchips are the way to go but Adie's came out! |
Why no collar? All of my dogs have collars with tags and microchipped and I have never had a problem except one migrated. I have never heard of a chip coming out, I don't even think it is possible, except if it came out right after insertion thats why they hold the are closed for a couple minutes.
BUT they can migrate and it could of moved to any part of her body. So i would have her scanned from head to toe, every inch.. And if its in an area where it would be hard to find then I would have another one put in and use the Home again ones, they don't migrate..
Anyhow, all I can really tell you about tattooing is it has to be done by someone who knows how to do it right and has done it a bunch of times. And it should be done in the ear where it can be found easily.
Tattooing is painful to the dog and i personally do not think it's worth doing. Not now with having chips.
