Are There Better-Looking Personalized Dog Tags?

By Jazmin Lomeli


I was wondering in the event you share the same issue as myself 5 months back?

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

The search mission to get 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 the majority of the dog tags offered are both also ordinary and truly boring searching...

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

To my surprise, I cannot uncover any! Each of the tags I identified on-line are deemed boring and not distinctive at all... at the very least in line with her normal.

I even went to the regional pet shops - the dog tags there are not any better, if not worse. Ordinary engraved dog tags - I guess they must have been about for a minimum of 15 years. And they still look the same nowadays. Amazing!!!

Ok, I admit. I did locate some good-looking customized dog tags online - you will find some high-end ones, such as sapphire, actual silver, gold, and even diamond embedded dog tags. But seriously, I'm just not ready to pay hundreds on a dog tag! I'll rather spend the cash on better grooming solutions or perhaps on her food.

I'm searching for something in the variety of perhaps 10-20 dollars maximum.

2 days later... I gave up. I basically cannot discover any! I decided to custom make 1 for Misty - to maintain Alice satisfied needless to say. ;-)

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

Using the concept of a newborn child permit I saw online, a good-looking (newborn pet permit) tag with Alice's contact information and Misty's image was produced.

Alice was pleased when she saw the tag. It was distinctive, personalized, and among its kind. It was special, just like her pup - Misty.

But... her happiness did not final lengthy. The tag was not scratch-resistant! The design started to peel off slowly. It was good-looking... but not functional.

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

Issue solved! Misty's customized dog tag is now scratch-resistant and anti-tarnish (image will not turn yellowish over 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 study and development (undoubtedly significantly longer if with out my Lee's support, this short article may possibly makes it appear easy... trust me. its not.), close to a thousand dollars spent. A good-looking, extremely customized dog tag was born.

"Was it worth each of the work?" In case you ask me, I seriously don't have the answer.

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

My stand is the fact that Misty will not really feel the distinction in between wearing a conventional engrave dog tag or perhaps a hugely customized good-looking dog tag. Only Alice will... and only Alice will understand why she wants that...
