Just Curious on peoples opinion on tattooing dogs for markings, not artwork. I see some peoples reaction that it's animal cruelty and it's the end of the world. I recently got a phone call in which a lady was asking for a couple numbers to be tattooed on her dog, because the dog was having a reaction to the micro chip they were implanting, but her vet doesn't tattoo. Long story short, I said "sorry we don't do that." But in a case like that, should it be allowed? I understand you need to register the number first before tattooing a dog, and there is a element of filth if you do it in a shop. Some vets do the procedure, but they put the dog under before they do it, tattoo artists don't have access to anesthesia. Im guessing most veterinarians don't know how to tattoo properly. Even if everyone says, yeah just do it, It's something I still wouldn't do, or allow it to be done in my shop, but just curious on thoughts... I already can guess on the responses that will be posted, but let's see.
