Is chipping the most popular and which ones do vets recommend?

MC, it was used for racing it was very sad, the dog was still alive after having its ears cut off, it was PTS

Vets do the chipping themselves, not sure if they do the tattoing actually??
I dont think they do tattoo, so they probs prefer chipping

Just don't like the thought of Fern having a massive tattoo in his ear...it also makes me think back to war times yes I know, a really stupid thing to think

I can see the benefits of having a tattoo though, as I can with a chip. Ohhh it's so confusing....

MC would you like to see a picture of TJ's tattoo, its really not that big

Both ways are fine, and effective

Yes please - but doesn't he have fluffy ears making it difficult to see?

Just found this and these ones look big

Only because they are *****ed eared and have almost no fur in their ears. I will get a pic of TJ's, one sec ..

Thanks Gems really appreciate your help.

No problem I do know what you mean, if the breed is pri.ck eared the tatoo will be visable, i guess i dont really notice as TJ has tipped ears, just uploading pic for you

My dogs are chipped, i have heard of tattoo but never seen a dog with one, as already said they both have there possitives and negatives, as gem said with a tattoo people can cut there ears, but what about that poor dog that had a chip and they used a potato peeler to try and get the chip out,sick!

w***ers - that's really upsetting - can't believe the pyschotic individuals out there who would do that to an animal
