Which size is best for my pet?

• 3/4” - Metal Hounds Minis - cats and small dogs • 1” - cats and small to medium dogs • 1 1/8” - small to medium dogs • 1 1/4” - medium to large dogs • 1 1/2” - large to extra large dogs Squares, hexagons, and diamonds, are measured side to side, not point to point.

Will my phone number go on the back of the tag?

Yes, the phone number(s) go on the back of the tag.

My tag arrived but it has an error or isn't what I ordered?

Please contact me and I will answer within 24 hours to offer a solution.

Why will it take up to 6 weeks for my order to be shipped?

There is a consistent flow of orders and the tags are made one at a time to ensure attention to detail. The tags are hand stamped and each number, letter, and design element is stamped individually. They all go through a series of uniquely developed hand polishing techniques to achieve the intended appearance.

My package is delayed or lost, what should I do?

Orders take up to 6 weeks to ship and are done in the order they are received. You will receive an email notification with tracking details when it ships. The USPS provides an option for you to sign up for tracking updates. If you think your package is lost, you can go to this link to report a missing package. https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm , or file an insurance claim directly with USPS www.usps.com/help/claims.htm , or request Etsy’s purchase protection, which is located at the bottom of the help page, Please keep in mind that I have no control over a package once it leaves my hands. I am not responsible for replacing or refunding orders of delayed, lost, or stolen packages, but I will assist you if you let me know.

Will my tag come with a ring to attach it to my dog’s collar?

Each tag includes a high quality complementary split ring. A zinc or steel split ring will be included with silver, copper, and bronze tags. A brass split ring will be included with brass tags. The use of split rings for your pet’s tag is optional. I do offer attachment upgrades for purchase including s-hooks and Nite-Ize®️Tag Locks. The split rings available for purchase are very strong and may need to be attached with pliers. A piece of tape can be applied to the tag, above the hole, to prevent scratches when attaching the split ring. Painter’s tape or medical tape works best.

Changes made after you place your order will be noted on your order but will not be guaranteed. The best way to avoid errors would be to place a new order with the correct info. Once you’ve done this you can contact me to cancel the previous order and update your ship date.

All the metals I use are high quality and 14g thickness. I offer bronze, brass, silver, and copper. These metals will not rust, but will gain a natural patina. They can cause discoloration on animals with white or light colored fur. This can also occur if the tag becomes wet from swimming, water dishes, slobber, or oil from their skin. Try to keep the tag dry, or remove the tag during time in the water. If your pet wears the tag in the water, you could also remove it while their fur dries. This will help prevent discoloration, but may not stop it completely. Following the care instructions provided with each order will help keep the tag clean. The only metal that won’t cause discoloration is stainless steel, which I do not offer.

Metal Hounds Tag Polishing Kit

Includes:
• Mini Sharpie Marker
• Small piece of Fine Steel Wool
• Small Polishing Pad
• Buffing Block (colors vary)
• Split Ring of choice (stainless or polished brass)

New additions and pricing to this kit effective 04/23/21. Kits purchased before this date do not include a buffing block or a split ring.

The tags are metal so they will tarnish and gain a natural patina and aged look. As with anything your dog wears, their tags require some maintenance. You can keep them looking new with some simple steps.

1. Mild soap and water along with fine steel wool and/or a polishing pad can be used to clean the natural patina off your tag. Avoid using harsh cleaners or chemicals on your tag.

2. If the letters or numbers lose their dark coloring and are not as easy to see, you can color in the letters and numbers with a black Sharpie marker. Once you've done that, use fine steel wool and/or polishing pad to clean off any excess Sharpie marks and polish the tag.

We send Care Instruction cards along with every order.

Metal hounds is my absolute favorite shop for custom tags! Their customer service is amazing and she even let me send back my tag when it got tarnished (we’re not really sure what happened they have never tarnished before I think it was the collar I had the tag on that caused it to turn colors) and she refinished it and sent it back and recommended I use this cleaning set to keep it perfect!
