Dog tag question..

Basenji Talk
  • clear nail polish?

  • Zip's main tag is from http://www.collartags.com. It's pretty heavy duty and I'm confident that it won't fall off. I got a lot of info to fit on there too. My only gripe is that I wish they took the measurement of the circumference of the dog's neck and made the tag bend accordingly. It doesn't quite follow the curve of her neck as well as I'd like. It is made to curve, but not enough. And there's NO way I'd ever be able to bend it further myself. It was like $8-$9. Stainless steel.

    good idea- i think i will try it!

  • Boomerang tags are very good quality.

    I have the stainless steel, 4 lines on each side. They also have plastic, all have 100% guarantee, about $8 including shipping. We have been very satisfied with them. I even got one for myself, back when I was biking, with my name, docs name, etc and wore it around my neck, held a lot of info for $8 !

    I use these also, best ones I've found, the stailess steel don't scratch like others do, when the others do you can't read what it says. The plastic ones are a good heavy duty and can be double sided. The hole for the ring is also reenforced so that part can't break

  • I use brass tags from Pettags.com They are about three inches long shaped like a bar. They fasten with brass brads to the collar; so they don't hang down at all. Each tag has our three phone #s (home and two cells). They have lasted for years since they don't bang against anything.

    It makes me nervous when the tags are hanging down, as I have seen them get caught on crates, and water buckets, and each other's teeth. IMO, the most important thing for them to be wearing is a phone number where we can be reached, because anybody who finds them running loose is going to call first.

  • Quercus- having multiple numbers instead of an address is a good point.. i never really thought about it but i'm sure people would call, not actually bring the dog to your house.. i think i will be ordering some new tags..

  • i ordered from 2 new tags from Boomerang tags, thanks for the suggestions!

  • Ninabeana26:

    If you can find someone with a grinder, I think the bone tag could easily be modified to look like a football! Just grind the bone lobes down to a smooth arc, and voila - Football!

    The petsmart in my area has brass tags that you buy and an in-store engraving machine. But the stainless steel may be a better option since the brass has been dented (and flared) a little on the side.

  • Hm never thought of that! Thanks for the suggestion! :) I actually found a site that does engraved logos on their tags & so I could get a football engraved on the one side with his info on it. We'll see though!

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    @saralars: This is off the subject of crate escape… I was told growing up that turkey and chicken bones were very dangerous for dogs. Are Basenjis different in this way too? Or am I missing something... Raw, uncooked bones are fine for any dog, not just Basenjis… it is "cooked" bones that are the problems

    I just bought Bella some Merricks Grammy's Pot Pie (dry). It sounds so good I'm tempted to give it a try, LOL!!! I haven't given it to her yet, I'm trying to time it out so I can introduce it slowly… I had to get it at a feed & seed supply store. It IS sad that people are uneducated about the differences of dog foods… but what is worse is that some of these companies don't care how bad the food is for our pets. Another example of how money is more important in their pocket... BTW, for treats we like Old Mother Hubbard!!!:D
