Are There Better-Looking Personalized Dog Tags?

By Sam Turlington


I was asking yourself in the event you share the same dilemma as myself 5 months back?

You see. I failed to locate any exclusive or good-looking personalized dog tags anywhere - on the web or offline!

The search mission for a better-looking tag began when my girlfriend, Alice bought a new Chihuahua pup - Misty. Whilst searching to get a dog tag, she complained to me that most of the dog tags obtainable are both too ordinary and actually boring seeking...

"C'mon, there have to be better-looking ones..." I assured her confidently and went on-line to appear for 1.

To my surprise, I cannot locate any! All of the tags I located on-line are deemed boring and not exclusive at all... at the least based on her standard.

I even went to the nearby pet shops - the dog tags there are not any far better, if not worse. Ordinary engraved dog tags - I guess they must have been around for at the very least 15 years. And they nevertheless appear precisely the same today. Amazing!!!

Ok, I admit. I did find some good-looking customized dog tags on-line - there are some high-end ones, including sapphire, true silver, gold, and in some cases diamond embedded dog tags. But seriously, I'm just not prepared to pay hundreds on a dog tag! I'll rather invest the money on greater grooming solutions or perhaps on her food.

I'm seeking for some thing inside the variety of perhaps 10-20 dollars maximum.

2 days later... I gave up. I basically cannot discover any! I decided to custom make one for Misty - to maintain Alice happy naturally. ;-)

Together with the help of a pal, Lee who is inside the plaque business and with his (trade secret) coating technique, I can essentially place any artwork, graphic and even image onto the tag. I went on to design Misty's personalized dog tag.

Utilizing the concept of a newborn infant permit I saw online, a good-looking (newborn pet permit) tag with Alice's contact details and Misty's image was created.

Alice was satisfied when she saw the tag. It was distinctive, personalized, and one of its type. It was unique, just like her pup - Misty.

But... her happiness didn't final lengthy. The tag was not scratch-resistant! The style began to peel off slowly. It was good-looking... but not functional.

Frustrated but not about to provide up, (seriously, I do not have any resolution at all then) Lee then coated the tag with his company's patented protective coating.

Difficulty solved! Misty's customized dog tag is now scratch-resistant and anti-tarnish (image won't turn yellowish more than time) due to the coating. It was even better-looking now! Because the coating leaves the tag using a stunning glossy finished.

8 weeks of research and improvement (certainly a lot longer if without having my Lee's help, this short article may tends to make it look straightforward... trust me. its not.), close to a thousand dollars spent. A good-looking, hugely customized dog tag was born.

"Was it worth all the effort?" In the event you ask me, I seriously don't have the answer.

But I admit I did understand a lot from this experience... and obviously within the approach Dogcustomer.com was born. I'll leave that story to an additional day.

My stand is that Misty will not feel the distinction between wearing a traditional engrave dog tag or a extremely customized good-looking dog tag. Only Alice will... and only Alice will comprehend why she desires that...
