....... Dog tags give me the heebee jeebees, when DH was in the military he had to wear then when on active duty, if anything had have happened to him it might have been the only thing I'd get back! How funny they're a fashion item!!
Dog tags are worn by all members of
the respective military divisions when
on active duty. It is their only source
of identification.

I have seen them at the pet shop in Arabian Ranches, and also at various vets (Jumeirah vets). It takes 24 hours to get them engraved. They have a few different styles too.
I was just over at Minutes to have a watch battery replaced and keys made a couple of days ago when a young woman purchased a dog tag there and had it engraved while I was there. I think it was only about 70 Dhs -- but not sure if that was for both the purchase of the tag and engraving as i only heard the 70 part. It looked pretty good.
