personally if you are doing two sided, youre gettinga plastic one, right?
id just skip it, and get a stainless steel. i order mine from boomerangtags, and they stand by them 100% and will replace if damaged.

That's where I order from, as well, and their plastic tags are really solid. Winston would never have chewed on his if he hadn't been chewing on his Avid tag (which now looks like it was put through a garbage disposal).

my tags for my dogs read:
BOWIE
my name
999-999-9999 CELL
999-999-9999 VET
NEEDS MEDICATION
i toyed with just putting AVID MICROCHIP, but opted not to. those that hvae access to scanners will use them, and if they dont, tthe chip is of no use.
i would not use the vets name (think about it - last names can be common, etc). i include NEEDS MEDICATION on mine, because they really DO, but besides, it would also encourage people to get them to a vet clinic, which i would encourage.

I figure that putting the Avid number is another means of identification... people can call the number in if they don't have access to a scanner or if we don't answer our phones. That's another way to get in touch with the vet.
The name thing is troubling for me because especially in Los Angeles (and while he's the World's Cutest Puppy), theft is my greatest nightmare.
