MyDogTag.Com Company & Product Review

On April 15th 2015, one of my best friends passed away. He had a specific quote he used to live by, and that quote was "Make something cool happen". When he passed, I decided I wanted to keep his quote with me - but I'm not the type for tattoos. I decided on an engraved necklace instead. I browsed several different vendors, then stumbled across "MyDogTag.Com".

My first thought was "wow, this site is easy to navigate!". The options are laid out and explained clearly, the graphics used are true to form and there's even a generator that shows you what your final product will look like. This is what puts MyDogTag above any of the other vendors I looked into, the fact that I could see exactly what I was ordering.

Although some options are rather limited (only two font types, minimal special characters allowed, ball-chain or leather strap necklace only), the wide range of styles available (brass, copper, matte and shiny, among other options) and equally as large amount of coloured covers (called silencers) makes it easy to customize your dog tag to whatever fits your needs or wants.

I chose the simple black silencers,  since I wanted to be able to wear my tags with any outfit. But there was a multitude of colours and patterns I considered. Including any one of the eight shades of camo. There are over 25 silencer colour options to choose from!

My package came within 10 business days - which was highly impressive considering I live in Ontario and American packages typically take two or three weeks to arrive. MyDogTag also included some bonus items along with my order. My package consisted of everything in the photo below.

 Several business cards (which I had requested, I keep one on me whenever I wear my necklace for situations where people ask where I got my tags from). The dog tags themselves, the two silencers, stickers for the back of the tags that include where they're from, the dog tag chains. Then the bonus items are a key chain mini flashlight, an emergency pill bottle and two whistles.

I have worn my dog tags consistently for over a month now and have yet to notice any issues. I have gotten them wet (accidentally) and still had no issues. No rust, no scrapes or scratches, no dents, no issues. They are very high quality and I would recommend them to anyone who desires a  dog tag (or several!)

Last but not least, their customer service department is absolutely fantastic! They offer several different ways to get discounted (or even free dog tags), and replied to any questions/concerns I had within the same business day. Excellent service and an excellent product.

Thanks to My Dog Tag for supplying this set of dog tags to me free of charge. If you would like to purchase your own set, please follow the link above. Use coupon code BC10 for a 10% discount on your purchase!

 **** 4/5

Additional Comments: I think the packaging of this product is a bit bulky and that makes it difficult to travel with, but otherwise it’s a nice shape and the lid doubles as a mirror if needed. The texture is smooth and silky. It’s a medium-weight cream that absorbs completely within a couple minutes. It leaves a tiny bit of residue on my skin, but that’s no big deal. The lotion leaves my skin looking a bit oily, but it’s easily fixed. After a week my skin felt softer, but I still had dry patches. The scent is a mix between clean and fruity, but it’s not overpowering at all.

Moisturizing Effect when applied (Oily, refreshing, light, left skin tight, dry, etc.):

Moisturizing Effect After 7 Days (Skin is smoother, softer, well moisturized, dry, blemished, etc.):

Scent (Strong, pleasant, unpleasant, not scented enough, too scented, etc.): 

** 2/5

Additional Comments: The packaging of this product is sleek and fits easily into my makeup bag. The pump is easy to work and disperses a reasonable amount of product. It is a very liquidy moisturizer and takes a long time to absorb into the skin, I don’t think it ever absorbs fully. It makes my skin feel sticky and it feels like if I rubbed at it, I could rub it off. There’s a lot of residue left on my skin even after it aborbs. After 7 days I suffered breakouts and my skin was more oily than normal. The scent is mild and light. I didn’t like this one at all.

Additional Comments: The packaging on this product is quite heavy and bulky, but you get a lot of product inside. This is a light cream, that absorbs within a minute or two. This moisturizer made my face feel refreshed and soft, but there were still dry patches of skin around my forehead. After 7 days my skin felt softer and smoother, but the dry patches were still there. The scent is strong, and has a weird pungency to it – like bugspray almost. But that goes away quickly.
