Are There Better-Looking Personalized Dog Tags?

By Tanner Reach


I was asking yourself in case you share precisely the same dilemma as myself five months back?

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

The search mission for any better-looking tag began when my girlfriend, Alice purchased a new Chihuahua pup - Misty. Even though hunting to get a dog tag, she complained to me that most of the dog tags available are each too ordinary and truly boring hunting...

"C'mon, there has to be better-looking ones..." I assured her confidently and went online to look for 1.

To my surprise, I cannot uncover any! All of the tags I found on the web are deemed boring and not unique at all... at the least in accordance with her standard.

I even went for the neighborhood pet shops - the dog tags you will find not any greater, if not worse. Ordinary engraved dog tags - I guess they should have been around for at the very least 15 years. And they nonetheless look the identical right now. Wonderful!!!

Ok, I admit. I did uncover some good-looking customized dog tags on-line - there are some high-end ones, such as sapphire, real silver, gold, and also diamond embedded dog tags. But seriously, I'm just not prepared to spend hundreds on a dog tag! I'll rather spend the cash on much better grooming solutions or possibly on her food.

I'm seeking for anything inside the variety of possibly 10-20 dollars maximum.

two days later... I gave up. I simply can not discover any! I decided to custom make 1 for Misty - to keep Alice content naturally. ;-)

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

Making use of the idea of a newborn baby permit I saw online, a good-looking (newborn pet permit) tag with Alice's contact info and Misty's image was created.

Alice was happy when she saw the tag. It was distinctive, customized, and among its kind. It was specific, just like her pup - Misty.

But... her happiness didn't final lengthy. The tag was not scratch-resistant! The design and style 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 personalized dog tag is now scratch-resistant and anti-tarnish (image won't turn yellowish over time) because of the coating. It was even better-looking now! Simply because the coating leaves the tag using a gorgeous glossy finished.

8 weeks of investigation and development (certainly considerably longer if with no my Lee's help, this article might tends to make it appear simple... trust me. its not.), close to a thousand dollars spent. A good-looking, hugely customized dog tag was born.

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

But I admit I did discover a great deal from this experience... and obviously inside the procedure Dogcustomer.com was born. I'll leave that story to yet another day.

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