Handling Typos + Change Requests
It is very important that you please proof your engraving instructions before submitting your order. The customer is responsible for any typos or incorrect information provided for the order. Note: It does not matter what you "think" you may have entered for the order. Whatever actual information is listed on the order itself (which will appear in your order confirmation email, sent automatically after your order is placed) -- is what our production team will be using to engrave your ID tag.
Note: Due to our efforts to process and ships our orders quickly, we CANNOT guarantee the ability to honor change requests once your order has been submitted, regardless of how soon you contact us after the order is placed. To see about the possibility of requesting a change, email us ASAP at with the details about your requested change.
A change order fee of $5 per item will be due for any item that has already been engraved by the time your change request has been reviewed (if you still wish to go through with applying the change).
A Note About Slide Tags (Guidelines & Reqs):
- Slide tags are considered a specialty ID tag — they are our best-selling tag option, due to their elegant & sleek profile (and their silent, non-distracting advantages), handy for pets who dislike or are unfamiliar with wearing collars. However, slide tags also have certain unique compatibility requirements & guidelines that differ from the traditional "hanging-tag" options that most people are familiar with. Please note them below before purchasing.
- Slide tags lie flat & silent on the collar, similar to a nameplate (i.e. they do not hang down and dangle).
- Only the front can be engraved. The back will not be visible.
- A slide tag is permanently attached to the collar it is installed on -- it cannot be removed (unless you cut it off).
- If you wish for all of your collars to have slide tags on them, please order the same # of slide tags as the # of collars.
- If you strongly prefer being able to use the same single ID tag on multiple collars, please consider our traditional "hanging" tags (circle / heart tags) instead, which ARE removable and interchangeable.
- Ordering a slide tag requires that you order it at the same time as a collar purchase from our shop (This is mandatory because it is not physically possible to attach the slide tag AFTER the collar has already been sewn together -- the buckle parts will not fit through the narrow tag slots).
- When adding a slide tag to your cart, please specify (in the designated form field above) which collar in your order that the slide tag will be paired with. For example, enter a description (e.g. "Blue plaid collar") or the style name (e.g. "Kingston")
- A slide tag will reduce the maximum adjustable length of the collar it is on by 1.5 inches. That is, your collar's minimum length will remain the same, but the maximum extended length will be shorter by 1.5".
- If your pet's neck size is already close to the maximum end of the adjustable size range for your collar, please either select the next collar size up, OR add a note in the 'Special Instructions' box indicating the exact current neck size of your pet. (This will allow us to make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the collar fits your pet well (even with the slide tag on).
- Collars with slide tags on them are considered "custom / non-returnable" items due to the personalized nature of this type of custom modification. "Slide tag collars" cannot be returned for a refund or an exchange simply on the condition that the buyer changed his/her mind or ordered the wrong size. Please order carefully and with certainty when getting this type of custom product.
- All collars in our store will fit the slide tags we sell in terms of width, regardless of the neck size you choose.
