Dog ID Tags for Every Pup Personality

Your dog wears the same fur coat day in and day out. So what better way to accessorize it and highlight your pup's sparkling personality than with a unique collar ID tag. And they’re not just for looks. According to Home Again microchip service, 1 in 3 pets goes missing during its lifetime, and without proper ID, 90% never return home. You already know it: both an ID tag and a microchip are must-have items to help your dog get returned safely to you if he or she gets lost.
There are so many options for custom ID tags – below is just a sampling, and a simple plastic or stainless steel tag will certainly get the job done too. Just look for a durable tag that clearly displays your contact information. You’ll want to avoid tags made from soft metals like brass and aluminum since they’ll wear out more quickly than others.
Read on and check out the links further below to find the perfect tag for your dog, whether it’s stylish, all-telling, bling-tastic or simply functional. As always, Woof Report product picks are handpicked and not advertisements.
