Dog tag question..

Basenji Talk

  • I think you have to find a store that sells them since they only take orders from stores but I have store right down the street from me that sells them. They are shipped to your home, just ordered at the store.

    Here is an online store that sells them

  • Do you know how to find a store that sells them??


  • You can try the online store. I am not sure how you would find a local dealer since their website doesn't seem to have a search function though you could contact them directly.


  • 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.

    clear nail polish?

    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.

    In my experience, the back leg quivering is normal for older/elderly dogs. I have found that it will get worse as the dog get older. If more neurological symptoms appear or if they are affecting his gait/movement, I suggest taking him to a neurologist for a thorough exam. Jennifer

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    Well I had my first Consultation last night with one of the dog sitters. I really liked her. She works part time as a vet tech and part time as a dog sitter. I liked that she has a vet tech degree, and is comfortable with canine first aid/CPR. I would hope that all dog sitters are trained in this, but now I know to ask about it in the future. She walked in and was so surprised to see a Basenji in Oregon (She is originaly from Florida). We had a great hour long consultation. I reallt think she may be the one I go with, but as this is my first time needing a pet sitter I will go through the other two consultations before making up my mind.

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.
