“This was no easy task!” says Clint Howitz, pack leader and president of dogIDs. “We have a variety of products that will make great stocking stuffers, including our dog boots and LED lighted dog ball. Yet when we came together as a team to vote on our top picks, our new personalized dog ID tags and the LeashLocket topped everyone’s list.”

The top 2011 dogIDs stocking stuffers include:

Personalized Professional and College Sports Team Pet ID Tags – These ultra-light tags, officially licensed by the MLB, NBA, NCAA, NFL and NHL, come with both split ring and s-hook attachments. The high-quality glossy color on these designer dog tags make owners’ favorite teams stand out. The circle-shaped tags are 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch tall.

Colorful Personalized Designer Dog Tags – These new fun and sassy personalized designer dog tags come in more than 100 colorful designs and are made from heavy-duty recycled steel. The tags come with a matching split ring and are 1.25 inches in diameter.

These adjustable heavy duty yet silky smooth nylon webbing dog collars feature a personalized nameplate and side release buckle. They’re the perfect combination of safety and style.

The personalized nameplate offers you the security of knowing your dog has proper identification at all times. The nameplate is also contoured to fit the curvature of your dog’s scruff.

Since this collar is a ScruffTag Collar your dog’s personalized nameplate will be sitting perfectly on the back of his/her neck at all times for easy identification! The adjustable sliding nameplate has a locking slider on each side of it to ensure the nameplate stays in the position you want it to.

• Contoured side release buckle for greater comfort
• Welded “D” ring

We’ve added some new color options to one of our best selling collars. These collars are by far some of softest collars on the market and if you’re all about comfortable high quality collars for your dog then you’ll love these Bison and Elk Custom Leather Dog Collars.

One of our employees described these unique collars as “buttery soft”, but unlike butter these collars won’t add 10 lbs to your dog.

Let’s not forget to mention how stylish these dog collars are! The combination of bison and elk hide along with the personalized brass nameplate really give these collars a unique look! The personalized brass nameplate offers 4 customizable lines with a max of 30 characters per line.

At dogIDs we’re all about offering high quality products for you and your dog. Part of our goal is to make sure all dogs have updated identification, so that if your dog goes missing you have the best chance at getting him/her back safe and sound. We’ve stumbled upon a company that is going one step further in their mission to protect pets. PetHub is creating a network that allows pet owners to create a unique profile page for their pet that they can update at anytime with new information.  A person can then access this profile page by scanning a QR code that is engraved on your pets collar.

Say your dog goes missing and you want to alert all of your friends and family that you’re four legged friend is lost.  If you have a profile with PetHub and and QR code on your dogs collar this can be done in just a few clicks of the mouse. On top of that you can even go in an update your pets info with alternate phone numbers in case you can’t answer your phone when your at a convention in Las Vegas.  The profile page offers you the ability to really add as much or as little content to your pets profile page as you like.

We believe this could very well be the technology of the future when it comes to dog identification. Our ScruffTag Collar with a FREE unique engraved QR code and profile web page offer you the ability to keep up to date information on your dog without ever changing ID tags. As you know it can be a huge problem if your information on your dog’s collar is outdated. This technology solves this problem by offering you a free profile page on the PetHub network that you can update with any information you’d like (New address, New Number, Alternative Contacts, Medical info, etc.). Your dog will have his or her very own webpage that people will be directed to just by scanning your dog’s unique QR code with a smartphone! Easy, convenient, high tech, practical and SAFE!

Our ScruffTag Collars are perfect for identifying your dog and very easy to scan with a smartphone since the ScruffTag always sits right on the scruff (back) of your dog’s neck. Whoever finds your dog does not have to worry about reaching under your dog’s jowls to find the ID tag and situate the tag to scan…Just aim a smartphone right at the back of your dog’s neck and scan the QR code…Can’t get any easier and requires no physical contact with the found dog!

Optionally include your phone number & pet’s name to be engraved on the collar so whoever finds your dog can immediately call you and know your dog’s name. When the collar arrives, it includes a unique web address and “QR code” that can be scanned with any Smartphone (such as Apple iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Microsoft Windows Mobile, and others).

Here’s how it works: Someone finds your pet. They try the phone number and you’re not answering. They scan the collar with their phone or type in the web address. What shows-up are any details you’ve chosen to enter about your pet, including other emergency contacts (spouse, neighbor, friend, vet, pet sitter, doggie daycare, etc.), important medications, dietary needs, and anything else you think someone rescuing your pup or kitty needs to know.

Here’s why it’s cool: Because the QR code and web address are both pointing to your dog’s own free profile web page on PetHub.com, you can change important details (contacts, medications, etc.) as often as you like without requiring the physical tag to be updated! Free web page for my dog? Yes! When someone scans your dog’s QR code they are taken directly to your dog’s very own free profile page…Displayed right on their smart phone screen! How cool is that?

Remember, the data stored about your pet on PetHub.com that these collars point to is free (no weird hidden costs, no sign-up fees, no annual fees for the basic storage and linking to your PetHub SmartLink collar or tag). When we ship you your dog’s QR Code ScruffTag Collar, we include simple instructions in the package with a few step by step instructions to set up your dog’s free membership and profile web page…VERY, VERY easy to do and can be done directly from a smartphone or PC browser.

Collar Features:

• Infinitely adjustable – Collars have no size holes so you can push the buckle prong through the woven material anywhere for a precise fit.
• Double braid webbing is colorfast so you do not need to worry about it every bleeding to your dog’s fur when wet or dry.
• Durable thickness for strength yet soft and comfortable.

***LOVE YOU ALL AT DOG ID’S***by Gina Sanchez on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 10:33am

This morning I had the pleasure of speaking with Lori of Dog Id’s. When I say PLEASURE I mean just that “AN AWESOME PLEASURE”! My call today was to get a status on my first of I am sure many more orders! We were introduced to this Co. from a recent GMA “Value of the Day” promo!

Laurie explained to me the GMA orders are taken just a “tiny winy” bit of extra time due to the EXCELLENT response of the consumer’s! I immediately congratulated her on the GREAT response to the PROMO; I also assured Laurie it was perfectly fine by me! I would rather wait a Little Extra time for our Highly Anticipated Order than get Upset on the “I’m sure is only due to the sudden rush of ordering” and receive a High Quality Product!!

So if anyone did have the opportunity to get in on the GMA Promo just feel at ease and sit back and be patient for you’re newly ordered Items!!!
I will get back with you all on the product upon receipt…

Gina Sanchez / Albuquerque, NM

Here at dogIDs we’re constantly trying to add new products to our catalog that we believe our customers will enjoy.  We believe there is no question that these new engraved buckle collars with embroidery option will be a hit. Our customers have already posted several comments on our Facebook page as well as on our product review application and all of these comments have been very positive. People enjoy having the engraving on the buckle, because it’s simple, clean, and you don’t have to worry about adding anything else that may fall off or weigh down the dog collar. We’ve also heard from customers that the embroidery option is the perfect way to personalize your collar to the max, so everyone knows your dogs name. Having just 5 colors wouldn’t do this product line justice, so we gave it 17 colors  and multiple sizes to fit almost every dog.

We hope you enjoy these new dog collars as much as all of our employees dogs do!
