Are There Better-Looking Personalized Dog Tags?

By Alicia Eastwood


I was wondering in case you share precisely the same problem as myself 5 months back?

You see. I failed to seek out any unique or good-looking customized dog tags anyplace - on the internet or offline!

The search mission for a better-looking tag started when my girlfriend, Alice purchased a brand new Chihuahua pup - Misty. Although seeking for a dog tag, she complained to me that most of the dog tags offered are both as well ordinary and in fact boring seeking...

"C'mon, there should be better-looking ones..." I assured her confidently and went on the internet to appear for one.

To my surprise, I can't discover any! All the tags I discovered on the internet are deemed boring and not unique at all... at least in line with her normal.

I even went for the regional pet shops - the dog tags you will find not any much better, if not worse. Ordinary engraved dog tags - I guess they should have been about for at the very least 15 years. And they still look the same nowadays. Incredible!!!

Ok, I admit. I did find some good-looking customized dog tags on the web - you'll find some high-end ones, including sapphire, genuine silver, gold, and even 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 services or possibly on her meals.

I'm seeking for anything within the range of possibly 10-20 dollars maximum.

2 days later... I gave up. I just can't uncover any! I decided to custom make one for Misty - to maintain Alice happy needless to say. ;-)

Together with the support of a pal, Lee who is inside the plaque organization and with his (trade secret) coating strategy, I can essentially put any artwork, graphic and in some cases image onto the tag. I went on to style Misty's customized dog tag.

Utilizing the idea of a newborn infant permit I saw on the web, a good-looking (newborn pet permit) tag with Alice's speak to info and Misty's image was produced.

Alice was satisfied when she saw the tag. It was special, customized, and certainly one of its sort. 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 will not turn yellowish more than time) due to the coating. It was even better-looking now! Because the coating leaves the tag having a gorgeous glossy completed.

eight weeks of analysis and development (undoubtedly a lot longer if without having my Lee's support, this short article might tends to make it look simple... 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 possess the answer.

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

My stand is the fact that Misty won't feel the difference amongst wearing a conventional engrave dog tag or a very customized good-looking dog tag. Only Alice will... and only Alice will realize why she desires that...
