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.
