| so disappointed in Maci's tags. I am soooo mad right now. I paid $10.00 for an inscribed tag at Petland, and it looks HORRIBLE. You can't even read my phone number and they spelled Grande Prairie WRONG. Like seriously? Here are some comparison of the tags... on the left is her old tag. on the right would be my new ones. the font is tinier, the inscription isn't clear. i got home a realized how crappy it was and the misspelling, and they wouldn't make me a new one either when I called to complain, so now i'm stuck with this one because I really can't just blow $20 on tags right now... Christmas is coming, rent is due, bills need paid, I'm sure some of you can feel the pinch this time of year with me? I'm a li'l upset. At least she got a couple cute bows. lol

| That's ridiculous! I would go in person and complain to the manager. Anyways I wouldn't shop there, Petland is still selling puppies. Even if your local Petland isn't, others still are. On a helpful note, go on ebay, there are tags just like that for about $2 free shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Engra...item29fee18d9f http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-St...item45ed325108

| Yeah I usually shop at a local pet store but we are on holiday in medicine hat, I hate supporting any of the big chains really. I like staying local or buying from people like the vendors here on YT but I saw Petland while I was leaving the mall, and remembered Maci's tags needed updated so I went in to get one... and whatta know, the one time I go into Petland in like 3 years I only get crap! I'm gonna check out that ebay site now! Wow $2 bucks... and I paid $10. :::facepallllm::

| I would NOT be happy! Was that with one of those machines!? I always order my tags from Ebay. You can get them for about 2.99, free shipping. I went on the other day to check them out. I got my new tag (the furcode one) for $1.36 on Ebay. Ebay is a wonderful thing! I actually got most of the new supplies that I need for Lucky from EBay! Try to get your money back by writing a letter, complaining. I feel bad. I know how money is tight now-a-days, especially with the holidays and all!

| Yeah I actually should have asked how much the tag was before I bought it... I figured it would be $5 at most. Stupid me. It doesn't even looks as bad as it actually is because my camera can take a really crisp/clear picture up close and make it look clearer than most human eyes could, esp. the second picture. But you can tell it's crap. I think I'm going to send the tag, the receipt, and a letter to where ever complaints are sent by mail. I just want my $10 back, I know it's not a lot, but shoot I could have bought 4-5 tags on Ebay... or maybe bought another nice collar and a tag off ebay ya know? Infact I get home Monday, I will send that stuff Tuesday and see what happens! edit: yes it was a little machine that did it. this is the first tag i've bought in YEARS i guess i didn't know better, now I do lol

| Using the machine, you have to type in all the info, so if it's misspelled, that isn't the machine's fault Also, you can choose how many lines you want, and the more lines you choose, the tinier the font will be. I used one of those machines to do the girls' tags a few years ago and they came out the same way, since I chose three lines of text. You can't even read the info They really should inform customers of how this all works so that we'd know. It is ridiculously expensive and they should have refunded your money since you weren't happy with the final product.

| They actually did it for me, I didn't get to do any of it :/ They said ... dogs name... Maci. what's your phone number? so i gave it. then what city would you like on the tag.... GP. They didn't ask if I wanted 1, 2, or 3 lines or front and back and didn't ask me to confirm the correct spellings. I did spell out Maci's name since it's i not y, but I figured anyone in Alberta would know how to spell Grande Prairie lol wrong. I def. got jipped! CG: I haven't bought a tag in years, my local and only pet store does NOT sell tags. I had no clue you could get them on Ebay/Online w/personalized info until just now. I haven't shopped at Petland or any major pet store in at least 3 years if not longer, because I do not support a lot of big corporations esp. Pet stores like Petcetera, Petland, Petsmart. I'm very pro local/pro small business

| Thanks for that site as well... you guys are awesome! I think I might try the two Ebay sites first... I'm going to wait til we Diesel home ::eeeeek::: on Monday so then I can order their tags together. Hopefully DH isn't too upset, I can see him marching into Petland and not leaving until they redo it for free or give him 10 bucks lol

| Got mine on ebay too for under $3 free shipping, and am getting a furcode as well. My tag is laser engraved front and back, has graphics, cool font and fit more lines and was waay cheaper.
