My little purebred Yorkie arrived from the breeder with an identification tattoo and a chip. Poor baby.
ID is a good practice for pets that can get lost.
For personal vanity, not so much.
Your Yorkie’s tat was a non-event for the dog.
They’re fast and the dogs barely even flinch.
I’ve had all my dogs tattooed up until they started having microchips available here.
One of my dogs has both.
Back in ‘99, I took 3 dogs for tats at a local clinic and they did them all in 5 minutes.
‘identification tattoo and a chip.’
This is nothing new. Pet tattooing for identification purposes has been going on for some time.
