Yep... 5 dollars a dog plus a dollar per extra letter or number past 2. I think this will be the last branding he does. I thought you could get dry ice at the supermarket? |

Yeah, you can get dry ice at some supermarkets, not all though. I'd love it if I was around when somebody (who knew what they were doing) was doing cheap brands! I have no problem with brands but feel squeemish about doing it myself to my own dog. |

We ordered our from them, works great. We are going to order another one soon. Here is our walker and our plott that have brands. Also here is the link to L&H's website to the direct freeze brand part http://www.lhbrandingirons.com/pg/freeze.asp Here is silver our plott she was done at 5mos, that is why the brand is a little bigger than duke's as she grew after we branded her. The walker is duke. He was done with the brand at a year. |

Its not the brand that grows, its the dog, a friend of ours branded his dog when he was 12 weeks and it grew 3 inches bigger than what it was supposed to be. |

Ever seen a woman with a tattoo on her stomach get pregnant? I can tell you the tattoo will get bigger as the stomach grows as the skin stretches. LOL, ever seen that tattoo after she has the baby? I can see a freeze brand getting larger as a young dog grows. Especially on a 12 week old pup. |

I've never branded a young puppy. A brand is something to be earned so to speak. Heres how I understand how a brand works. Verses a tattoo that stretches the skin and spreads it out. The tattoo would also get lighter in color. A freeze brand kills the pigment in the hair follicle. Turning it white. I'm not sure the hair follicles would expand. I maybe I am wrong but can something that is dead, reproduce? I have some scars that I have had since I was a young boy. My 2" scar on my face is still 2 inches. Like I said, I didn't know they could grow. It was news to me. I wonder how. |
