Custom Patches for Working Dogs

Custom Service Dog Patches

 Create your own working dog patches

Service Dogs are truly amazing, and continually help their human companions in many ways each and every day.  We have heard from many working dog owners that it can be difficult to find patches for their working dog’s vest.  We have listened and have made it very easy for you to get patches for your working dog.   We also enjoy hearing how happy owners are with their custom patches - they get exactly what they wanted for their working dog and love the results!

Our very happy Service dog is Cashew who loves his new patches created specifically for him!  Thanks Cashew for sending in great pictures - we think you look great!

Yes, you can buy some pre-made and pre-designed patches that sort of fit on the dogs vest and are standard and expensive and exactly like many other patches, OR you can have a custom patch that will say exactly what you want, it will fit perfectly, and fit exactly where you want it to fit.   

Instead of the standard black background with red and white lettering, make your patch stand out with different colours for lettering - how about pink?  People tend to notice bright different colors as opposed to the regular colors normally used.  Make your patch stand out and be noticed and read properly, the instructions understood clearly. 

 

Service dog patches can be sewn to your vest or attached with velcro to identify your dog as a service dog, therapy dog, working dog, police dog, search and rescue dog to name a few.  They also can be used to describe the service your dog performs such as, medical alert dog, guide dog, hearing dog, seizure alert dog, diabetic alert dog, PTSD dog, Psychiatric dog etc.  Service dog patches can also be used to inform others that your dog is working do not pet him, that he is friendly and it is ok, or to ask first.   Get your message read clearly through patches for your Service Dog.

 

You can use any space available on your dog’s vest - measure the space and be sure, and measure the available velcro space and we can make a patch that will fit perfectly!   You can make custom patches in a stop sign shape with bright coloured thread, or you can make nametapes that are 1 inch in height and as long as you need it to be.  You can also add in a paw print or a silhouette of a K9 to add to the overall look of the patch.  

 

You can get as creative as you can, and make your own original custom Service Dog Patch and design it how you want it too look.

High quality materials make high quality patches

At OMLpatches.com, we only use the best materials, sourced from the USA.  

FABRIC BACKGROUND MATERIAL

Our multicam material is made from real Rip-stop straight from the manufacturer - no middlemen.  It is the same high quality material that the uniforms are made from.  If we were to use the cheaper, ever available crappy knock-off multicam material, the patches would fall apart.  We accidentally got send some of this material, and we threw it all out because we could not even cut the material with sharp scissors.  Does anyone really want that for their patches?  Nope.  When you search patch images online, if you zoom in, you can see the quality of the materials used in creating the patches.  If the patches don't have the Rip-Stop lines on them, you know that it is second rate material.  Its a good sign that the company is using low quality cheap materials, and in turn making low quality cheaper patches that will eventually fall apart.   Of course, not all of the camo and solid colour materials come in Rip-Stop by design, but we know that multicam does, so that is a good place to look.  Multicam also comes in different camps - Multicam Black, multicam arid and multicam tropical.  We of course bought all of that material directly from the same manufacturer, Duro Textiles in the USA.

THREAD

Believe it or not, thread quality makes a big difference.  We only use the best thread, Madeira Threads and have carefully chosen the perfect colours to match the background fabric.    I have seen that some companies use less quality threads, and it shows in their work.  The thread looses colour and frays easily.  That doesn't make your patch last longer.  We also use the same thread for merrowing the edges - making the marrow and the thread match perfectly and also keeping with our high standards of quality materials.  The thread keeps its colour and doesn't fray at all.  Some merrowing threads fray the minute you touch it to the fuzzy side of the velcro, and that is why we use the more expensive but higher quality embroidery thread for merrowing (the merrowing is the thick outside edge stitching on the outside of the patches, as shown below)

VELCRO

As discussed in the last blog, velcro makes a big difference for patches.  You can have an awesome patch, but if it falls of in the field because the velcro is cheap, what good does it do you?  Not much.  We only use Velcro Brand Fastener, the best of the best, and we only get it directly from the manufacturer in the USA.   Sure, we could use an off brand velcro and save a ton of money, but its not worth it for quality.  The hook Velcro on the back of your patch is the only thing holding your patch on!  If it is going to fall off, its just not good enough.   the Velcro is virtually guaranteed to stay on the fuzzy size of the velcro - the "velcro real estate" on most uniforms, gear and bags is meant for this purpose - to hold on to the patches and keep them safe.  

SO THE QUESTION IS, WHY SETTLE FOR LESS THAN THE BEST?  

Sure you can get patches for $1.75 or $4.00 but you really get what you pay for.    When you pay a little bit more for the high quality professional patches that are made to last, that is exactly what you get.  I have friends that are still using their patches that we made 8 years ago - the patches have been out in the field, in different climates, sand, rain and other inclement weather and they still look good!  Can anyone else say that about their patches?  I doubt that.
