Nose prints can be used to identify dogs as they are similar to our fingers prints no two are alike. This can be one of many different methods to prove the identity of your dog should it become lost or stolen. Other forms of identification are microchips, tattoos, and id tags on collars.

bite marks can uniquely identify an animal (or a human for that matter.) Certain valuable dogs have had a plaster cast taken of their teeth, in order to identify them should anything happen. Not a job I would want to take on. Or, another way is through nose-prints. Same with cats as well.

Well, YOU, can't use the dogs nose because dogs don't talk, but a DOG, can use its own nose to identify another dogs breed, or sex. Dog's noses are extremly sensitive, and can identify alot of other things. Things no human can identify by sight, hearing, tasteing, or feeling.

As we all know, nobody has the same fingerprints. Soem dogs have the same paw prints though. Many dogs have a microchip in there neck. When you microchip a dog they send the information and the microchip number to a website and that's how they identify many lost and homeless dogs.

Can nose print be used to identify dog?

Yes. Animal nose prints are as individual as fingerprints are for people. They do change somewhat with age, but there are recognizable patterns that stay constant. The Canadian Kennel Club has accepted nose printing as a form of canine identification since 1938. There are also companies in the US that are starting to keep nose print data bases for pet owners. Some animal agencies are beginning to advocate getting your dog nose printed. They say it is more reliable than microchips that can become dislodged or malfunction, or tags that can be lost or removed. It is a very reliable means of identification.


Can a nose print of a cow be used to determine identity?

Yes, nose printing of a cow can be used to determine identity. A cows nose print is just like a human finger print. This type of identification is effective because a cow's nose will never change and that makes nose printing unlike other forms of identification.


What can dogs be useful for?

Dogs can be used for so many things. First and foremost, they're just a great friend and companion to have around. But as a profession, German Sheperds are usually Police Dogs, and other dogs like Labs, Golden Retrievers, German Sheperds, and Dalmatians can be used for the Seeing Eye and Hearing dogs. Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes can be used as sled dogs, and dogs like Border Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs and many other herding dogs are typically used for herding.

How could you get your dogs nose black again?

u should give the dog water or something because if the dogs nose is not black then it must be sickUmmm--some dogs have pinkish or liver-colored noses naturally. It does not mean that they are sick. Water does not cure dogs' illnesses, anyway. Do you mean your dog's nose used to be black and changed color, or is your dog's nose pale and you just think black looks better? You can sometimes buy such dyes from vendors at dog shows--but if your dog is a show dog and you change his appearance with dyes, he will be disqualified from showing.
