Ear Piercing for Dogs

I saw a sign today along the highway for dog ear piercings. Yikes! So I looked up ear piercings for dogs on the internet. I found a vet’s column about it. As you might expect, he was not in favor of the piercings. Nor was he in favor of dog tattoos. Dog tattoos? That was new to me as well. As the vet pointed out in his article, most dogs have hair so you cannot even see the tattoos. What should a dog tattoo say or convey? “I love Mom”? If you insist on tattooing your dog, I suppose a good message might be, “Stamp out ear piercings for dogs!"

I did not find any articles regarding clip on earrings for dogs so you’re on your own on that one.
