This DIY project is great if you want to customize something special for your dog and possibly make some fun holiday gifts as well. The best part is that this material doesn't clink around, so you won't hear these tags making a bunch of noise in the middle of the night if your pup has an itch.
DIY Dog Tags
You'll need: Liquid Sculpey (good colors include white, clear, gold, and pearl), dog tag molds, jump rings, keychain rings, pliers, paper clips, vinyl, and fun toppings (like glitter or dried flowers). - Squeeze the Liquid Sculpey into the dog tag mold. You can combine different colors if you want. Use a paper clip if you want a marble look.
- Add the toppings you want to decorate the tag.
- Bake the tag according to the directions on the package.
- Use the vinyl to cut out the letters for the name. You can also paint or write the name.
- Seal in the name with a layer of clear Liquid Sculpey and put it back in the oven to bake it again. This allows the name and phone number (if you add one) to be sealed in and protected.
- Use the pliers to attach a jump ring and then connect that to the key chain.

Dogs have all kinds of unique features based on breed, size, health, and age. A dog's coat is a perfect example of this. It's the most prominent feature of a dog, and it's important that dog owners understand how to best care for the type of coat their dog has. The coat provides protection, insulation, and immunity. Plus, the coat can indicate a lot about a dog's health.
Ten types of dog coats: - Smooth coat - This is also referred to as a short coat. It's shiny and smooth. The hairs are very close together to provide protection, and there can be a lot of shedding. It's the easiest type of coat to care for. Brush once a week and bathe once a month using shampoo and conditioner.
- Medium coat - This coat grows longer than an inch but shorter than two inches. The hair is usually kind of wavy. It's important to brush them daily to keep the tangles to a minimum. Bathe them once a month using shampoo and conditioner.
- Long coat - This is one of the most demanding coat types because the hair is prone to matting and tangling. Using the right brush is important, and brushing daily keeps the hair clear of knots and tangles. Use a de-tangling shampoo and conditioner during bath time and dry the dog with a hair dryer.
- Single coat - This type has no undercoat, so it's more common in breeds from warmer climates. These pups might need a coat in colder temps. These dogs shed less, but brushing is still important every so often. A monthly bath will suffice because the short hair doesn't hold as much dirt.
- Double coat - Breeds with two coats have an extra layer of insulation. Blowing a coat seasonally is typical, so have a good undercoat tool that helps pull the loose hair. You'll need to vacuum a lot more with this type of coat.
- Wire coat - This hair is dense, rough, and has a wiry texture. Regular trimming or hand stripping is required for wire-coated dogs. Use a brush and a comb at least once a week to remove excess dead hair and pull out tangles. Avoid conditioner during bath time.
- Curly coat - These regal pups don't shed much, but the coats are still pretty high-maintenance. Dirt and debris can get trapped in the curls, so you need to brush them often. Use a detangling spray to help get the brush or comb through the hair. Always use conditioner with these pups.
- Corded coat - In humans, these are called dreadlocks, but in the dog world, they are cords. Dogs aren't born with this. You can help form the cords by splitting the hair into sections and twisting it. Trim the hair once each year and ensure the dogs are completely dry after a bath.
- Hairless coat - Some dogs are hairless or have very minimal hair. These dogs need warmth in cold weather conditions. Frequent baths are good, and make sure to use gentle shampoo. Dog-friendly sunscreen and lotion are also good for these dogs.
- Combination coat - Many dogs have a combo coat where they might have longer hair on parts of their body and short, soft fur on others. Grooming is required frequently. Brush the dogs weekly and trim areas that grow faster. Don't forget about the ears since long hairs on the head can trap dirt and debris.
