How to Buy a Personalized Cat Collar

      Check specialty stores. For high-end pet collars (those involving precious metals), you will need a store specializing in engraving, a jeweler or other similar establishment. You will need to pick out materials, style, and go over these details with the staff to make sure you get exactly what you want.

      Do it yourself. You can make a personalized collar out of any tag material with a pen and a good laminate. Make sure the edges of the laminate are sealed so that your pet's information doesn't get worn away by the elements.
