ThunderCover Dog Tag Silencer, Standard, Clear

My pup has an allergy to his tags. His poor little chest gets extremely red and irritated if we leave his tags on for too long. For this reason we had gotten used to leaving the collar off. The problem I have with this is what if he should get out accidentally? I prefer him having his tags on. I was preparing to purchase a silicone tag and forgo the animal control tag all together...until I found the thunder cover. It fit the animal control tag easily. The name/address tag is quite a bit thicker and didn’t fit. However it works really well as a barrier so none of the metal touches my sensitive boy’s skin. Not to mention the fact that there’s no more tag jingling! (Yay!) the cover was a bit long out of the package but it can be easily trimmed down to fit properly. My guy has been wearing this for several weeks now with no issues, very sturdy for normal pet wear.

This is exactly what I needed for our two greyhounds. I can't stand the sound of jingling tags...very light sleeper. Had an old leather bag type tag holder that was completely worn out. Ordered a different brand from Amazon and didn't like the way it laid on the collar - we use the Martingale style for our greys. This type is perfect. What I really like is that anyone can see the dog's name and contact information through the clear silicone. Note: I did have to use a larger split ring to accommodate all 4 tags...available at any hobby store The only con is it would necessitate taking the split ring off and working all 4 tags out of the silicone holder to see all of the tags, but i turned them so that 1st tag had our contact information facing outward, then rabies and another city tag were sandwiched in the middle, and the 4th tag faced outward with our dog's name on it. I don't thnk we'll need those other middle tags until it's time to replace them. This is an excellent buy, in my opinion.

Works pretty well at silencing dog tags (and protecting them from scratches and keeping them clean). I have it around both my dog's ID tag, and his rabies tag, and they make much less noise than before. The only drawback is that with multiple tags in the ThunderCover, you have to remove it to see both sides of a tag. But, I don't think that is really an issue -- certainly if someone finds your lost dog and needs to see, e.g., the back of his ID tag (in case that's where the owner contact information is printed), they can figure that out.One thing worth mentioning is that the small size is REALLY small. Don't think that just because you have a small dog, the small size is going to work for you. Measure your dog's tags first, because the small size will not fit most tags.

I have a dog with anxiety. He is fearful of other dogs whether he sees them or hears them. During a training walk, it was suggested I rubber band his tags to "silence" them. Tried it and the idea worked from the silencing part but kept falling off. I had seen this tag cover previously and thought what would you want that for? Well, now I know. It stays on, you can see the tag through it and all is silent. This helped to not alert other dogs in advance that he was walking by which has allowed us to pass by those barking behind the fence dogs almost undetected. Well worth the purchase.

I don't like clinking dog tags. Previously I have gotten 2 custom made small plastic tags with all the info--name & contact #s, city license, rabies, chip info, etc. and I didn't use the tags provided by each of those entities. I was never sure if I was completely legal not using the official rabies tag or if my dog were lost, would they see the rabies info? Also, we got a new rabies tag but the city license doesn't expire for a while.I decided to try something new this time and reserached all the tag silencers on amazon. I am glad I tried this mini silencer for my 15 pound dog, about the size of a big cat.I was able to fit the city license (1.5" bone) and the new rabies tag (sort of a sunburst) in this holder. It was a tight squeeze. I carefully used needle nosed pliers for the last little bit. I left the plastic bone with my dog's name, my contact info, and chip info, outside the holder. I put the license and rabies tags back to back so the information on each can be read through the plastic.In the illustration on the product page, I think the bone shown inside the small ThunderCover is the 1 1/4" bone. Our 1 1/2" bone just barely fits width-wise.This is soft flexible plastic. The bottom is open. You slide the tags up till the holes match. Our large rabies tag hangs out the bottom a little but it doesn't matter.I didn't use the supplied connector because there are a number of reviewers of the larger ThunderCover who said it came apart while in use. I used a 3/4" split ring. It was pretty difficult getting it through the ThunderCover since it's thick and soft but it was worth it to me for security.If I hold my dog's collar in my hand and shake it, there is still a little noise, but in real life use around her neck, I don't hear a thing.I am uploading some pics. Sorry, there is no way I could get a picture of it while on my dog, who hates having her picture taken. But it doesn't hang down too low as I was afraid it might, especially using a larger split ring.
