Leela and PJ Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Does anyone know where I can buy good quality dog tags? My dogs are always out digging and rolling in the dirt, running in the rain and what not and the pet tags are just not lasting. I have just bought some aluminium tags and they are so thin and flimsy I can't see them lasting long. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNut Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 pettagembossing.com.au I had the same issue so got some of these, they're really sturdy and the characters dont rub off because they're embossed (obviously). There's some other ones that slip onto the collar that are supposed to be pretty good if you prefer that style but not sure of the address for them.

Leela and PJ Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 I love etsy I just bought these ones off etsy but they look too nice to use so I'm going to use them when I take the dogs out to show them off. Spoilt I know! I just bought the stainless steel ones from pet tag embossing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmurps Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) We've had these on the dog collars for about 5 years. "The Slide on" ones. http://www.boomerangtags.com/store/index.php?A=G&ID=4 Edited May 12, 2013 by Shmurps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleo's Corgwyn Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I recently bought a couple of these; http://www.rozart.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=280&category_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29&vmcchk=1&Itemid=29 They're marine grade plastic, and she'll put pretty much any design that you want onto them (she found the Cardigan corgi design just for me).

minimax Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Etsy +1 I have a few favourite sellers on etsy where I get my tags, and people are always asking when I get them. My guys swim a lot, so their tags are waterproof, and not too expensive as they also somehow lose them a lot (regardles of how I attach them!) http://www.etsy.com/shop/CaliforniaKitties http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollywoodPups http://www.etsy.com/shop/CaliforniaMutts http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThePetTags http://www.etsy.com/shop/PoochTags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 http://www.boomerangtags.com/ Boomerang tags. The plastic ones will last a lifetime, otherwise the s/s collar tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karly101 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Also recommend boomerang. I bought some of etsy and whilst they look cute they just didn't hold up! The slide on tag from boomerang is really nice and strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooch Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 We have these on all our dogs, they used to loose tags in a short time, these have been on them for a few years now. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DOG-TAG-ID-PET-NAME-LARGE-BRASS-GOLD-BUY-1-GET-1-FREE-/121071305053?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item1c3069815d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I haven't used any of these, and I don't have any of the collars, but I have seen a few dogs around wearing these types of collars and thought they were a great idea. Might be worth considering rather than a tag. http://www.petcollars.com.au/collections/dog-embroidered-collars http://www.whatsyourname.com.au/faq.php http://www.dogidcollar.com/ http://bestydogcollars.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I got 3 off Etsy for mine, but really unhappy with the quality. The name engraving is so close to the bottom of the tag its hardly readable, the copper metal goes almost black after a week or so, i have used a light sandpaper to shine it up again, and found on 2 of them other names and numbers on the back faintly, so clearly i have been sold used ones. They are not the same as yours Leela, but similar, they had little silver metal hearts or flowers over the top of the copper tag. Also i lost one in a week as the rings are weak and the tag came off it. I had bought really nice new leather collars so wanted something a bit different, i like the look of those ones Smooch.

minimax Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Etsy is a place for people to host their shops, Etsy isn't a shop itself. There are millions of different stores on Etsy, it's like ebay (but ... really not :laugh: ) So for everyone saying Etsy isn't good, just try a different store. It's like going down the street and saying no that street isn't any good as one shop didn't have something you liked. There are heaps more shops in the street.

juice Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 yes i know what etsy is, :D i was just mentioning it as alot of the tags seem to be made in the same design from shop to shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fainty_girl Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If you're not in a hurry to buy tags, I normally get mine from this ebay seller. There aren't any listed at the moment though because the seller is away, but you could always favourite the page and check on it in the near future. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/zirphx/ The tags are hand engraved and are always lovely.

alpha bet Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Why not consider having the collar which has name and phone number engraved on it.... no tags to fall off. I have them for our dogs - and a couple spare with my number if I take any friends dogs out with me. look up the website: personalisedpet.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mish13 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Why didn't I see all this a couple of days ago, I just ordered new name tags for a couple of my dogs because they keep falling off. Would much rather the name and number on their collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
