Returning home from a two-week trip, you were shocked to find a blue tattoo on your dog’s stomach after her stay at a 24/7 daycare. Pet tattoos often mark spaying/neutering or identification, but without your consent, it’s puzzling.
Daycares provide boarding and care, yet procedures like this are unusual without approval. The blue color and placement suggest a spay/neuter mark, but could it be a mistake? Before calling, check medical records and photograph the tattoo. Ask the daycare about procedures, their tattoo policy, and records. Unauthorized tattooing raises legal and ethical issues. Share your story online for support—others may have faced this too. Gather facts, communicate clearly, and take charge of your pet’s care to resolve this mystery.
