I want to buy a pet charm for my dog's collar with the first letter of her name. Any ideas where I can get such a thing?

You could start with some red ribbon. Add some bells that will jingle and some LED Christmas lights.

You can actually buy dog breed charms. Here's a website that allows you to pick your specific breed. http://www.huntinghorn.com/CharmPages/CharmINDEX.html

Take the dog collar off and attach the charm to the collar ring that should be hanging from every collar. Then re-attach it to your dog. That way your dog won't get too stressed while you try and fit it on.

You can make your own, although obviously charms made from metals will be harder to design yourself. If you are into arts and crafts - you could try following these instructions and see how it works out. Good Luck. http://www.remmeer.com/personalized-dog-jewelry-charms-kit-p-1067.html

When I was looking for dog charms I came across this website - doggievogue and found some really cute stuff. Check out this link to a dog bone charm that comes with colored rhinestones. http://www.doggievogue.com/category/collar-charms-dogs/crystal-bone-dog-charm

Try the Funny Fur website. They have some really cute stuff. http://www.funnyfur.com/charmsandpendants.aspx

One of the most important sizing tips is to leave enough space for two fingers to fit between the collar and your dogs' neck.

Bell collars are probably uncomfortable on most dogs becauseof the high pitch sound they can emit. Dogs can hear sounds at very high frequencies that humans cannot hear. So a bell around your dog's collar may be makingan unpleasant noise for him that you aren't even aware of.
