Gorgeous Pet Tags

I don't mind leather, but for very practical purposes, Choya doesn't wear leather collars and I don't use a leather leash. I make a concession to leather tags. Those are okay, and in the event of rain, they don't actually get soaked if the dog wears her raincoat. Often, the dog's collars are either water-resistant or easily washed. I use a stainless steel ID tag. These materials suit our lifestyle and activities. 

I love these leather tags made by LéPaw/BigPaw. I don't understand how it's made. Or rather, I see it, I get it, but it's not something I can do. I simply appreciate the end products. The stitching is excellent. We first met them at a pet fair held at Bishan Park, and tried out two leather tags. They were beautiful, and I was looking to get more when we have more collars! Bought another two, and then three more. Ooof. It's as though the dog has many necks to wear all these collars and tags.  

The brand launched a special color of Navy Ghost Burro (blue-ish) under their charity project titled Pet Tag+, in which S$5 from each sale will be donated to an animal welfare charity of their choice. I think last month's donations were to Causes for Animals, in conjunction with Ruff Cuts. 

Just find them on Instagram, that's faster. It's really easy to communicate with the brands over IG DMs. I don't even bother with facebook anymore. It's just clunky. Shopping is a lot more fun on IG. Most of them are earnest business owners, and they're quite efficient. I don't mind buying stuff over IG, especially if the businesses are based in Singapore. Many of these small brands produce quality products, be it handmade in Singapore or bringing in items made in different cities for the local market. If it’s a locally-run business, and owners are sincere and sort out their logistics effectively, that’s enough for me. #SupportLocal

I don't prime Choya's social media account to use her as a cute tool to get freebies. I could have turned her into a pawdel and get a ton of free food, grooming and health products, leashes and whatever. But that's not me. It doesn't appeal. While I certainly don't mind using some of those 'codes' other pawdels offer on items I want, I prefer to pay for products. I want that freedom of judgment on products I use, and total objectivity in any criticism or lavish endorsement of any brand. Heh!

Clearly, the dog doesn't need all these ridiculous accessories. She doesn't care. She'd very much prefer to run free and roll in muck when she goes out. Her Momma is just a sucker since these little things are so adorbs. Ah, I don't put all the nonsense on her at home though. She goes naked rolling around where she pleases. Teehehehee.
