Dog tags

Handmade dog tags from Pawsome

Every dog ​​owner's nightmare is when their pet suddenly goes out of sight and doesn't come back despite calling. Most dogs that go on a trip without their owners are found again. It is all the more important that your dog is relatable to you !

With a proper, personalized dog tag, you also increase the chance of having your lost four-legged friend back with you more quickly.

Why is an engraved dog tag important?

If your dog wears a personalized dog tag, you can have peace of mind if he gets lost on a walk. By having your phone number engraved on the badge, finders can get in touch with you more quickly .

Thanks to technological advances such as microchips , homeless dogs can be clearly identified with their owners. It is therefore advisable to microchip your dog. Not only information about you, but also information about your dog can be stored on it.

The cheaper and quicker alternative is a dog tag on the collar . We recommend the combination so that you and your darling are on the safe side.

A tag is particularly practical in that those who find your dog can contact you quickly and easily . In order to read a microchip, you need a corresponding device that is only available in animal shelters or clinics.

Even if your four-legged friend is usually not a prowler, you should be prepared for unexpected events . In such cases, you and your dog can be separated unexpectedly and unprepared. A clear assignment and the security of your dog are then higher with a tag.

In addition, the dog tag with the name shows the finders that it is a dog with an owner and not a street dog. This not only makes your four-legged friend identifiable , but also more approachable .

The best option is a dog tag that is personalized. The likelihood that you and your dog will be reunited is definitely higher.

What information belongs on the dog tag?

The space on a dog tag is limited, which is why you should use both sides of the tag as best and sensibly as possible. The following information is a suggestion for what to include on your dog's tag :

1. Your dog's name
2. Your phone number and possibly that of a friend to increase accessibility
3. Your city or zip code; If there is enough space, your full address
4. Any health problems or the addition “needs medication”
5. Microchip Information: It doesn't hurt to mention that your dog is microchipped
6. A personal message: A small note like “I’m lovely” will make your dog more approachable and increase the chances of a reunion
7. A reward: If there is enough space, you can mention that there is a reward for the finders

Probably not all of this information can be found on the dog tag, but not all of it is absolutely necessary either. Choose the ones that best suit you and your dog and are most important to you .

If your dog is generally rather anxious or tends to run away often for another reason, proper security is essential. We recommend a custom-made chest harness so that your dog is comfortably secured.

You can also attach the engraved dog tag to a separate collar. This means your dog can still be assigned to you if he or she manages to get out of the harness.
