FUN:

PS Pet Tags

Dogs are fun right?! They make us laugh, make us smile. We buy fun collars for them, buy fun toys for them, Cute beds for them to sleep in. We play with them, they keep us young.

Well this it what we had in mind when we started the site all those years ago.

PS Pet Tags are FUN. But we did not compromise on safety either. PS Pet Tags are fully functional and fun too.

Traditional Engraved Disc

Well everyone has seen them at one time in there life. Fun is not a word that could be associated with them. Some of the more witty owners have a good go in the engraving process, but the message is attached to a dull product and often doesn't get across.

COLORFUL:

PS Pet Tags

Bright and colorful, the message of the tag comes across from a distance. The message is clear, i love my dog, i know there personally and i embrace it. 

Traditional Engraved Disc

Again these are lacking in the colour category, Sliver and brass is often the choices available. There is a whole rainbow of colors out there, though these only take advantage of grey and orange.

DURABILITY:

PS Pet Tags

Tested to the extreme, just see the video below...

Rub one on concrete and the text will still be clear, due to the super strong, anti scratch coating applied to the surface. these do not compromise durability for there querkyness and can handle whatever your dogs lifestyle is and still be functional.

Traditional Engraved Disc

Some deeply engraved discs perform well in this category, although they did scratch badly when tested. The text was still fairly clear. Other laser or shallow engraved discs do not test well. Rub one on a concrete floor as your dog might do while scratching and itch and you'll see the text becomes faded and unreadable. This is due to the edges created in the engraving process. The edges forming the letters become the discs weak point and crumble on contact with uneven surfaces.

PERSONALITY:

PS Pet Tags

This is what it's all about, getting across to other people your dogs personality. PS Pet Tags have 700+ tags all exclusive designs, one will match your dogs personality. We have the tag for your dog right here. And if not you can create your own design and we will make your fully customize pet tag for you.

Traditional Engraved Disc

Again lacking in any personality, these discs are the saloon to PS Pet Tags hyper car.

VISIBILITY:

PS Pet Tags

Clear as day, the custom text at the rear is black on white. This is the best there is in terms of contrast for clear text. That is why books have a white background and black text, it is also why word processing computer programs use the same setup. I want to know that should my beloved pet become lost and frightened then there is the best possibility of someone reading the tags information and contacting me should they not be able to get close enough to touch.

Traditional Engraved Disc

As the text is created with the same material as the disc itself, these tags are relying on the shadow created in the engraving process for the text to be readable. This makes them impossible to read at a distance. Some do in-fill the text with a resin. This does make the text stand out better but often falls out over time.

Conclusion:

So you can get a traditional engraved disc that will perform in regards to getting your pet returned should they become lost. But this does rely on the person who finds them being able to get up close to read the tag. And it also relies on you purchasing a deeply engraved disc.

But why should a pet tag be just this, why cant the tag out perform in regards to identification and also show off a part of your pets personality in the process. If someone finds your dog wearing a PS Pet Tag they are going to know how much they mean to you and how worried you are right know.

Not to mention having the ability to display any medical conditions clear and from a distance could save your pets life.

Lets imagine a scenario. This scenario is the reason PS Pet Tags was first created as we had a pet with a medical condition and wanted that clearly portrayed on his tag. Someone finds a dog loose, the dog is clearly showing signs of distress and will not be approached within 3m without bolting. The person trying to catch the dog and call it's owners is not aware that said dog has IBD and so should not be fed anything but his specified diet. This person then puts out some food for the dog to entice it. The damage is done. If said dog was wearing a medical tag from PS Pet Tags, the message I HAVE IBD or PLEASE DO NOT FEED, would be clearly visible around their neck.

Having created our product and developed it further over the years, this is my fully bias opinion. I love our product, it was created for our own pet because I saw that dog id tags had not evolved for so long and could be so much more.

I hope you guys like them as much as me!

For a week, I came to PS Pet Tags for my work experience and was asked to write a blog of a teenage perspective on what it's like to have a dog in the family and the type of things I have to come up against each day with my pet.

A new puppy! It's a pain. A cute face. A home-wrecker, but most of all a life-long friend!

A new fury friend around the house is a lot of fun and hard work at the same time. Having the daily tug of war with your shoe. Knocking over the bowl of water or tripping over the dog toys scattered around the house. However, you realise that now you have this love hate bond with your new canine pal, he's here to stay, even if he does use your shoe as a chew toy!

Now, you can't forget those endless walkies day after day. Being dragged across the pavement every time your dog sees another one of his kind, and worst of all, the picking up of the poo! In the pouring rain, completely drenched..but the pooch.. just a stinky wet ball of fur. Don't even get me started on them drying themselves off as soon as they get through the front door. Bounding down the hallway, shaking water off all over you. Pouncing on the furniture, spreading the lovely scent of wet dog. How can you not just adore all this?!

But the worst thing! The absolute worrrst thing that my dog has ever done is deciding to take himself home on a walk. Yep, just a normal walk in the park and all of a sudden he shoots up the woodland in the wag of a tail. I yell to get him back with his favourite treats, but no! He just tilts his head and runs even further and till he's back in our driveway. I did not have the slightest bark of a clue where he would be, so I run as fast as I can and find out from a stranger that he was bounding his way up the main road. When I got to our gate at the top of the road, there he was, all chuffed with himself and I could see in his eyes that he was like, 'Yay I'm home!' Happy days! I do luurve my pooch.

On the other paw, if i don't like my dinner, I can just dump it under the table and they can just eat the lot and no human shall suspect a thing.

I'm not one for exercise! I'd rather just sit in doors, but now we've got our puppy, I'm made to walk him and hey, it's not too bad!

They're great company to! When I decide to stay at home on my own, I've got him there with me. They're great company..even if I do have to help in taking care of the mut.

During the week, when it's back to school, I'm always greeted by my pooch when I get through the door at the end of the day he basically attempts to jump into my arms when I'm trying to un-do my coat and he's always happy to see me!

Looking over all this, sure all of this can be a pain in the doggy back side but it's all worth the chews and barks when you can cuddle up with your fluffy friend with lots of licks. A dog is a friend from the heart. He'll follow you every where and at the end of the day when it's time for all those doggy dreams he'll curl up on the end of your bed all because he loves you so very much just like I love him!

We all love having him in the house. Even when I do complain, I love him really. When I'm having a bad day, I've always got the dog there for cuddles and he loves it just as much as I do.I can tell because he sticks his tongue out to lick my face and looks up at me with those cute little eyes. I love my dog and he loves me right back! 

Here are some strange but realistic facts that you wouldn't believe were true about your dog.

1. Everybody loves puppies but did you know that in the space of just 6 years, if never spayed or neutered then your dog is completely capable of producing 66,000 pups in this time.

2. It get's more shocking! it's proven that dogs and wolves can mate with each other, producing offspring, able to reproduce again.

3. Most dogs have the intelligence of a 2 year-old human. They can store up to 250 words in their head and remember them including gestures and are even clever enough to solve simple calculations.

4. In the past, dogs situated in Russia have figured out how to transport themselves on the Subway as an easier source of travel to find food. High paw to that!

5. Previously in Afghanistan, 50 soldiers in total from America were rescued by just 2 dogs! Only 2! They were later on escorted back to the soldiers to be reunited with pride.

6. In one of the songs written by the Beetles named ''A day In The Life'' contains a noise so high pitched that it can only be heard by dogs. This was for the personal enjoyment of one of the band member's, Paul McCartney's dogs.

7. An ex-fighting dog owned by Michael Vick became a doggy therapist for the comfort of life- limited children. Pawsome!

8. A dog's scent is so strong that it can even sniff out disease.

9. It's said that your pooch can even detect an upcoming storm or bad weather. Get your umbrella out before it starts pawing with rain!

10. And finally..the big one! The Basenji. The only dog in the world that literally can't bark but only yodel. 

So what are PS Pet Tags like?

We started selling picture pet tags 5 years ago, over these 5 years we have been making periodic updates to our product, based on our customers feedback.

This has lead us to our current pet tags (the mark3).

Our aim was to created a product that is more durable than a traditional engraved tag but also has all the attributes that make them a personal accessory for your dog.

To do this we are required to know what dogs are like, their personalities. Luck was on our side as one of the founders of PS Pet Tags just happens to be dog mad and a qualified canine behavior specialist. His recognition of dogs personality traits gave us the inventory of tags to accommodate most, if not all pet personalities.

So we have the "personal" part covered. If you would like to know if we achieved the "durable" part of the plan, please take a look at this video!

Unlike others, our pet tags will not fade over time. We have so much faith in them that we offer a Lifetime Guarantee, so should the text on your tag ever become illegible, we will replace it!

Our tags are not stickers! They are made from real metal. the centre of which (front and back) has a special scratch resistant image of your choosing. This image is embedded into the surface of the tag, it is not an overlay (sticker).

PS Pet Tags are 100% Waterproof!

Each tag has a focus or theme if you like. The design relates to this theme, whether it be funny, cute, cartoon, medical, pattern, movie etc.

We want our tags to look great from a distance, so we make our designs clear and bold so they really pop.

This makes a PS Pet Tag a real eye catcher, the designs are visible at quite a distance.

As with all PS Pet Tags the personalised text on the back is embedded within the tags surface like the design, this is not totally unlike the traditional engraving method. Our products are image engraved dog id tags.

This is much better than traditional engraving because the text does not wear off or become faint. Also the text is much clearer because it is black on a white background and so is visible at a distance.

Should your pet become lost and feel unconformable in doing so, people will be able to read the information to contact you without having to handle the dog.

If that wasn't enough here is a list of what you get when buying our dog id tags...

As stated above, our tags come with a lifetime guarantee so should the text ever become illegible, we will replace the tag free of charge.

Personalising (engraving) your tag is free! Just enter the details you require and we will have them put into the rear of your tag for you at no extra charge.

PS Pet Tags currently offers Free Worldwide Shipping on all tags. 

And to top it off, with each tag purchased you will receive a free splitting attachment. 

So your purchase truly does come with everything required to be fully functioning.

Over the years PS Pet Tags have development a varied range of super hero themed pet tags for both Marvel and DC fans.

These include the most popular comic book heroes like Batman, Superman, Spiderman and Ironman but also the more acquired tastes such as Aquaman, green arrow and The Flash.

So if you have a little Superdog or your pet can be a bit of a Hulk every now a then, or maybe they are the best in the dog park, running circles around the other dogs like the Flash. Then buy them a super hero pet tag from PS Pet Tags.

You can find these in our Cartoon category or just search for your favorite hero in the "search for a product" bar above.

The web is full of photo's of cute dogs doing cute things, I saw one the other day where three Collie's were hugging each other, like people!

More and more often we get owners requesting cute dog id tag designs for their pet, to which we always oblige when we can. This has caused the cute category on site to outgrow the others.

Within our cute category owners can now search over 100 dog tags to find the one that matches their dogs personality the best.

Here are a list of dog id tags that would suit office dog Willy and the reasons why...

Willy is queen bee at the office, she likes to go from person to person soliciting tickles and so the "buzzing bee dog id tag" would hang quite nicely on her.

As stated above Willy works from person to person requesting comfort, so either of the Princess pet tags would look very much at home on her.

As would both "spoiled rotten" and "Spoiled" pet tags.

 And I suppose as she is the office dog, the "At work dog id tag" would also look cute.

So a quick search keeping Willy's personality in mind has thrown out 7 well matched ID tags in the cute category alone.

So next time your dog does something cute like, snuggle into an inconceivably small ball for a nap or give you lick when your feeling sad. Remember it for when you pick their tag. 

And if you cant find what your looking for on the site, don't forget you can always create your own and we'll make it for you.

National Shrimp Day!...Yay

Today is the day to celebrate the deliciousness of shrimp/prawns. And today in America more shrimp will be consumed than any other day in the year.

Being based in the UK, unfortunately we have over looked this day for to long and so we at PS Pet Tags have decided to created a tag for all those who love shrimp as much as we do.

This is the Slobba Gump Dog Tag For Pets. Inspiration for this tag has come from the well known establishment where one might find there famous (and delicious might I ad) shrimp on the menu.

This tag is not only for fans of the shrimp though, people who remember a little movie called Forest Gump might recognize the link here.

Those having no clue as to what I'm talking about may not fear, as many pets have a tendency to over salivate, causing puddles of fresh drool, expertly placed for the unsuspecting human to soak up with their socks.

I've been there, if only there was a tag for that?!

These new designs feature several prominent members of our Solar System.

Whether you have a dog that acts like they are from Mars (a Martian), or maybe a Wolfish looking dog that would suit the Moon design. Possibly your dog just loves to lay out in the Sun or maybe you yourself have an interest in the Sciences even if your not a fully qualified Astrophysicist there is no reason you or your pet can't enjoy our Planet Earth engraved tags for dogs.

Our Solar system Pet Tags can be found in the 'Nature' category or just click the link below...
