Humidity, bath day, and a tag that survives both

A shih tzu spends half its life in humid air and the other half getting blow-dried. Printed tags fade, peel and give up somewhere around the third bath.

Ours don't, because there's no ink to lose. The words are laser engraved into the metal, so shampoo and the water bowl they get their whole beard into can't touch the lettering.

Bath day, beach day, August. All fine.

Sizing a tag for ten pounds of opinions

Small, fluffy, and fully convinced it's the largest animal in the house. The tag shouldn't drag on a little neck or vanish into all that hair.

Short answer: adult shih tzu, go Small; Medium if the coat hides it.

Add $4 for stainless or brass, $6 for polished. Shapes available at the size you pick are shown in the builder, and the preview is exactly what we engrave. More breeds in the size guide by breed.

8 shih tzu sayings for a dog with palace ancestry

The bows, the underbite, the reverse sneezes that sound like a tiny emergency, and the refusal to walk one more step. Name and number go on the back.

Every line above fits the tag as written. Want your own? Type it in the builder and the preview shows what fits before you pay.

Made by a house with seven bulldogs

We're a family in Lehi, Utah with seven English bulldogs and one very busy laser. We wrote the bulldog tags first, from experience. Underbites and dramatic breathing are a bulldog specialty too. These lines are for the small, fluffy branch of the family.

Questions humans ask

Shih Tzu tag FAQ

Still stuck? [email protected]. A human answers. The dogs supervise.

What size dog tag is best for a shih tzu?

Small (1 inch) for most; Medium if the coat keeps hiding it.

Will baths, grooming and humidity ruin an engraved tag?

No. The words are laser engraved into the metal, not printed on top, so there's no ink to wash off, fade or peel.

Can I put my shih tzu's name and my phone number on the tag?

Yes, that's the standard build. The funny saying goes on the front, and your dog's name and your phone number are engraved on the back.

Will the tag get tangled in my shih tzu's hair?

Long coats wrap around anything that dangles. Ask your groomer for a little clearance at the neck and the tag will hang where people can read it.

What happens if the engraving comes out wrong?

If we mis-engrave it, we remake it free. Tags ship USPS from Lehi, Utah in 3 to 5 days.
