How a Tattoo Can Save Your Pet

August 5th, 2009 by admin One of the great debates among pet owners is identification of pets: microchip vs. tattoo, especially on dogs. Tattoos have many adherents, and they make a good case for their side of the issue, one of the more compelling arguments being that it is prohibited for any facility using animals in research to have an animal with an ID tattoo. It’s a good reason, even though it isn’t true. It is a popularly disseminated belief that any tattooed animal is against the law for a research facility to have on premises, but that is manifestly untrue, as tattoos are one way research labs keep tabs on the animals they use. At one time, ear tattoos were fairly prevalent, but people (and I use that term loosely) who stole animals to sell to research labs would cut off ears to remove the tell-tale ID tattoo.Once this practice came to light, the preferred placement of the identifying mark moved to the inner thigh or even the belly. However, since thieves are often ignorant of the actual law and believe the prohibition to be true, a visible ID tattoo makes your pet a much less desirable target.
