I just put a new tag on my puppy and she had the phone number chewed where it couldn't even be read in 3 days. It wasn't a stainless steel one though. Has anyone had this problem?

The plastic ones are not durable. The stainless steel tags last forever, very good quality.

I did not have any problem with mine, but I got the stainless steel. Other metals do not last as long and the writing gets hard to see.

Buy a stainless tag and secure it on a collar that doesn't hang loosely on the dog's neck. It sounds like the collar you're using is too loose

Mine was brand new, all the tags on and plastic wrapped. I will say this-- it's heavy!

We do sell pet ID tags. There are some models that you write the information yourself on the tag. What kind of style are you looking for?

The tag does not say, but I'm sure you could ask the seller. It's a great material and my dogs do not chew it up or snag it. I have 6 of them in different sizes and just love them. They wash up great. The tag says to dry on cool or warm but I dry them normally and they dry fine. This is one product that I would not hesitate to buy.

The design itself is sturdy, and has been around a dog's age. It is possible the Chinese have used a lighter gauge steel than was used in the original, but I don't have an old one to compare. I think the old one was tin-plated steel. Even if you did find an old one at a tag sale, it would be dull and tarnished, like the one I replaced. Sadly, the days of Made in the USA are long gone.

My dogs' swim in the lake all summer!!! I actually use a key ring or tie wrap to secure the tag in place. I do this to ensure it won't fall off. Sometimes the plastic tag will crack and the tag falls off. I just punch another hole and reattach (I've been fortunate enough to find it in the yard). It's not to hard to visualize the tags hanging from the collar for monitoring if they do come off.

I'm not sure. I've since had my dog microchipped when she was spayed so i no longer use this tag. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Probably in the long run not well. Use anti-chew spray on the rope and it should be prevented. I let the lead drag on the ground and you can tell there is abrasion so I would assume the same would occur with a puppy.

I don't feel I can answer that question. The tag company would be the best source for the info you requested. I've only ordered the small heart tags for my outdoor cats, and only put the cat's name and my phone number on each. I've been very pleased with the tag quality and speed in delivery. I do like the colors other than silver, as the engraving shows thru as silver. I've ordered quite a few, as one of my cats always seems to loose his pull-away collar when he gets in a scrape with another cat. Neighbors have contacted me for two lost collars, but one collar has yet to be found, and my cat only wore it for one day.

Richard, its been a while since we ordered the tags for my son, but I believe when I ordered them either I contacted the seller or they contacted me for engraving information. Whatever the case the tags were labeled exactly like we had asked and work great for our needs. I hope this helps. I'm sorry I cannot remember the exact details. I just know the process was easy and the tags came as we had expected. Matt H.

Never really had that problem except when I did not cut off the care tag. Chewed that and continued on to the bag. Also had some several years old that one decided to dig in the middle. The old ones were pretty tough. I don't think the newer material is the same but like I say did not have any problems. i think if your dog chews I had one from Eddie Bauer that was suede and canvas that was tough.The top of the Canine Hardware are more nylon now than the suede they used to be. Wash wonderfully though.

Think about it this way - what is the least amount of information you want on the tag. Then look at the amount of text each tag size will handle. My tag says "THANK YOU for calling, 555 555-1212"

I have tried leaving my puppy in this crate for very short periods of time.... No longer than ten minutes. She already has chewed through some of the mesh and the zipper. I agree with everyone else in that if your dog doesn't chew on things, it would probably be fine.

Try contacting the company. I had the name plate fade to where it was almost unreadable and the company replaced the tag.

Yes... All of the dog tags (nameplates) riveted to my collars are made from brass and I've had to re-punch a few. Worked great.If you're talking about punching dangle tags, like a rabies tag, I would not hesitate to punch them too.

I was it weekly and have had it for six months (for my dog) It is holding up very well. As long as the puppy doesn't chew it up it should be fine.

We gave to Kirby, our 4 month old St. Bernard puppy, and he slept with it each night. We did not let him have it during any other times. I knew he would shred it. As it turns, out, it is still in good shape, except for one ear. He stole it from the dryer and ripped it before I could retrieve. For some reason, he sleeps with it without tearing it. He is a year old, and we still give it to him at night sometimes. It has survived many trips through the washer and dryer (we have DROOL). So, good luck, and I would restrict it to night time. It was VERY effective. He never cried with it in the cage, warmed, and heart beat turned on. We gave to Kirby, our 4 month old St. Bernard puppy, and he slept with it each night.
