Does anyone know of a company that makes temporary inexpensive collars that can be personalized? I'd like something that we can put a simple message and a phone number on for when we move. I want something inexpensive and temporary so that we can put my mil's phone number or something on it (our phone numbers will have to be changed when we get down there, but I want to make the collars before we move so they wear them in the car) just in case they either get out of the car (unlikely, but you never know) or if they get out of the house once we get down there. I want to put my mil's number on it b/c, like I said we will have to change our cell phone numbers, and she can always get ahold of us if she gets a call.

Here is are some links to some options:

1 -

http://womentorz.blogspot.com/2009/1...e-id-link.html I can't find their website though... It looks like a concert or festival entry bracelet that they used permanent marker on. You could try a similar idea...

2- This collar is currently one penny on PetSmart... holiday discount. The delivery cost is probably going to cost much more than a penny...
You could get off the wreaths and sew on the information yourself?

3 - $10.00

Good luck and have a safe move!

This is kind of what I was thinking of, but all I can find is places where you have to order boxes of at least 200 wristbands. I don't need that many. LOL Thanks for the ideas!!

Yeah I know! I was trying to find some that could be sold individually...
What if you made a temporary tag and attach it to their collars?

They don't wear collars, that's why I was hoping to find something inexpensive. I'll find something, though.

Well you can find cheap collars a lot of places, and you could get some instant ID tags like this:

A few places you can get inexpensive cat collars (these are breakaway, if you don't want breakaway look for dog collars instead):

http://www.kitty-planet.com/PRODUCT%...c_collars.html ($3.95 for two or more)

http://www.petedge.com/product/Train.../315/46701.uts

You can also try a dollar store for cheap collars.


Another option would be to get special ID tags that come with a special 800 number or website, which people can call and get your contact info from. That way you could just update the info when you get your cell phones and you could still use the tags later. For example there is one called Together Tag, another is FINDER and another is SmartTag.

Or you could have them microchipped, and when you register the chips put your MIL's number, and use the tags that come with the microchips for the collars. Then when you get your new numbers you can update the info with the microchip company.

Can you ask your vet if they use the plastic kind? Would they be willing to give you a few for your move or willing to let you buy them?

Do a search on ebay for "Whelping Puppy ID Disposable ID Collars" or "event wristband" or "Vinyl security wristbands"
