Povodny Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Togo has once again lost his ID tag! I honestly don't know how he manages it!! This must be the fourth this year. I'd noticed it gone early last week so ordered a new one plus one for Loki who was wearing an old one of Togo's but the design had worn off (their tags all match their collar colours) I then found Togo's tag while hoovering the kitchen which was great as I was concerned about travelling all the way to Salisbury an Togo not having a tag. And even better as the new tags didn't arrive until after we'd left on Friday. Ive gone today to swap the tag Loki was wearing for one of his own and noticed Togo tagless! I've just attached the one that came in the post, let's see how long this one lasts. Safi, bless her, is still on the tag I bought her as a puppy! Although I've probably gone and jinxed her now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 my two have the dog tag ones becuase other ones didnt last long at all, they all rubbed so you couldnt read them. but the silencers died after a week so now both dogs jingle like a cow bell!

mydiamond Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 oh goodness I was thinking about ordering an engraved dog tag for Dime... So they don't last long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povodny Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) What appears to be happening is, the big split ring I have on their collar is attached to the little split ring on the engraved tag. Somehow one ring is sliding itself off the other ring and the tag is going missing that way. Maybe Togo needs a tighter big ring. I have to say they look great especially Peppa. She has a deep purple collar and a very bling deep purple sparkley tag with a silver paw in the centre an it's under a fiver with free engraving. The original tags I got that only Safi now has was a silver disc with a coloured paw in the centre (pink for Safi) the engraving was black infilled so really easy to see clearly but those tags were nine pounds a piece and that's not including P&P Edited May 16, 2012 by Povodny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a little keychain attached to my pencil case's zipper and the keychain's little split ring broke after 2-3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much, much more sturdy and secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povodny Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 They do look nice, but I prefer the semi slip collars which they don't have a buckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 i dont use the lil split rings , i just use big rings (only ever lost one tag (they have 2 each) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollys Dad Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 The smallsplit ring that comes with most tags is useless - thin, weak, easily slides through anything. You could just replace it with a sturdier one as a cheap alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Myshka must have the same magic as Togo, I don't think she goes more than 2 months before she loses hers! The boys still have their original ones, but Myshka is a pain in the butt!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
