                                                Tattooing:

Donna Blews has been tattooing for about 28 years. She started tattooing after one of her dogs which had been tattooed was stolen and returned because of the tattoo. She feels that everyone owning a dog should protect their pet by having this done. She started tattooing first for NDR National Dog Registry, which she still does, but now has become a tattooer for Tattoo A Pet as well. The charge is $20.00 per tattoo. If someone owns 2 or more dogs, the fee is $20.00 for the first dog, $15.00 for each dog there after. She will have tattoo registry forms at the clinic.
