Custom Name Patch for Collars & Harnesses
A name patch does more than look sharp. It helps handlers, trainers, vets and the public identify your dog at a glance, and it makes a clear statement when your dog is working.
Each patch is embroidered with your chosen name or text and finished with a stitched (merrowed) border to stop fraying. The hook backing attaches to the loop panel found on most tactical, working and service dog harnesses. You can swap it in seconds between harnesses or remove it for washing.
Use it for a dog's call name, a role such as "SEARCH", "DO NOT PET" or "IN TRAINING", or a short line of handler details. If it fits on the patch, we can stitch it right here in Tasmania.

FAQs
Will this patch fit my dog's harness?
It fits any harness, vest or collar with a loop (soft side) hook-and-loop panel. Most tactical and working dog harnesses have one. Measure your panel before ordering to choose the right size.
Can I put it on a collar without a Velcro panel?
Yes, if you choose the sew-on backing option [CONFIRM]. Alternatively, use a collar with a hook-and-loop name panel.
Is the patch waterproof?
The embroidery and backing handle water, mud and swimming well. Let the patch dry fully, and clean out the hook backing now and then so it keeps its grip.
What can I have stitched on it?
Your dog's name, a role (for example "SEARCH", "IN TRAINING", "DO NOT PET" or "WORKING DOG"), or short contact details. Offensive text and protected trademarks can't be stitched.
Does a "SERVICE DOG" patch give my dog public access rights?
No. A patch on its own does not certify a dog. Public access rights in Australia depend on state and federal law and recognised training or accreditation.
How long does it take?
Patches are made to order and take about [X] business days to stitch, plus shipping.
Can I return a custom patch?
Because each patch is personalised, change-of-mind returns aren't accepted. If there's a manufacturing fault or an error on our part, we'll remake it.
Do you do bulk orders for dog teams, clubs or agencies?
Yes. Contact us for bulk and unit pricing, custom logos and matching handler patches.
