Best dog tags

What kind of dog tags do you use?

I used to use those metally ones..whatever they're made of...and they would ALWAYS dent/chip so you can't even read the info on it. I got these plastic ones, and they don't do that ever...it's really great.

Mine have plastic tags and I love them! The alluminum ones from Petsmart (or similar stores) seem to bend out of shape and the colour wears off easily. Stainless steel & brass tags are nice too, but I like the plastic because they're just as strong as those ones it seems (depending on where you get them from), they're quieter and they come in a huge variety of colours. I also find them clearer to read.

Thats so funny that you brought this up, Audrey. I was just saying earlier today that Katie and Tori need new ones. You can hardly read theirs and I definitely don't like that. So, where can I get some good ones?

Where can you buy the plastic ones? Lily chewed her rabies tag to pieces, and her other one is starting to look kinda worn out.

I've found the plastic ones can get chewed up easily.

I vote for stainless steel, OR the stainless steel tag that slides over the collar. The aluminum tags are just too flimsy, scratch/dent easily and wear off a lot easier over time.

Maybe it depends on where they're from then? My dogs play very rough with each other and their tags are in perfect shape. But then again, my dogs do wear tag covers most of the time so it probably protects them. I know a dog who had his plastic tag for 5 years or so before it had to be replaced though.

I've got metal one's from petsmart. Molli's is a pink heart and Sam's is a red bone. The colors are wearing off and the words are getting hard to see, and it's only been a couple months.

I find plastic ones work much better. They last for a really long time.

I say get whatever kind of tags you like and put one of these around them...
Quiet Spot
Bon has one of these and I love it! When the girls get new tags they'll be getting one as well

Mickey has the cheap aluminum tag from Petland. He got it in October 2004.. it's now March 2006 and it only has several scratches and is still readable.
