Dog Tags FAQs
What info should you put on a dog tag?
All of our dog tags are customizable, so you can make your dog's tag as basic, quirky, or clever as you'd like. Your contact information is a must. Add your phone number, your address, or even an email address. You can also include your name or useful information to help someone care for your dog until they can be returned home safely.
Why are dog tags important?
Dog tags are important because they can help reunite you with your dog if they become lost. They should include your dog's name, your name and phone number, and any important medical or identification information, such as if your dog has a microchip or requires medication.
What are the different types of dog tags available, and which should I choose?
Many types of dog tags are available, including traditional metal tags, QR code tags, and engraved plastic tags. The type of tag you choose will depend on your preferences and needs. Metal tags are durable and long-lasting, while QR code tags can provide additional information and can be updated online. Engraved plastic tags are a lightweight and affordable option.
How do I attach a dog tag to my dog's collar, and how often should I update it?
To attach a dog tag to your dog's collar, simply thread the tag onto the collar's ring or clasp. Make sure the tag is securely fastened and not loose. You should update your dog's tag whenever there is a change in your contact information or your dog's medical needs.
Can I use multiple dog tags on my dog's collar?
Yes, you can use multiple dog tags on your dog's collar. However, be careful not to overload the collar with too many tags, as this can make it heavy and uncomfortable for your dog to wear.
What should I do if my dog loses their tag?
If your dog loses their tag, replacing it as soon as possible is important. Your dog's tag is their best chance of being reunited with you if they become lost. Consider keeping a spare tag on hand, and always check your dog's collar and tag regularly to ensure they are still securely fastened.

Advantages of our Engraved Dog Tags Canada
Wondering why your dog needs a pet ID? Below, we will explore a few advantages of having a proper pet ID tag on your pup or cat.
Fast Identification
Nowadays, many pets are microchipped, so you might wonder why you need a pet ID tag. If a Good Samaritan finds your dog, then they will have no way to access the information on the microchip. Only animal shelters, veterinarians, and animal control have the scanner needed to obtain a microchip's information. However, a pet ID tag is easily visible to anyone for fast identification.
Long Term Legibility
A personalized, engraved id tag offers long-term legibility. The depth and precision of the cut will last for decades on stainless steel, bronze, and other metals. There is no scuffing, smudging or scratching to mar the metal tag. Each tag is created to last years with crisp and clear engraving.
Proper Weight and Size
Most manufacturers offer id tags in two sizes with the proper weight needed to meet your dog’s size requirements while ensuring comfort.
Easy to Read
When your dog is missing, you want a pet id tag that is easy to read so your four-legged friend is returned quickly. At Homes Alive Pets, our pet id tags are easy-to-read with clear and concise engravings.
More Likely to Receive Help
If someone notices our pup is lost, they will immediately look for a dog tag. Pets with tags who get loose and become lost are more likely to receive help.
Tips for Engravable Dog Tags
A personalized dog tag should contain all contact information, such as your name, your pet's name, phone number, and address. Affix the dog id tag to your dog's collar. Dog id tags should contain your pet's important information, such as any special needs, health problems, or required medications. The pet id tag should show who the dog belongs to and whether the animal is a service dog.
Not sure what to put on your dog's tag because the choices seem endless? Adding your contact info to a customizable dog tag will make it easier for your dog to find their way home if lost. The perfect information to include on a stainless-steel pet ID tag is your pet’s name, phone number, and address. Provide the information, and it will be effortlessly engraved on the dog tag’s surface in a readable script.
Engrave the Following Info on a Pet ID Tag
There is lots of information that you can put on your dog's customized ID tag to help them get home fast and safely. There is a limited amount of space, though, so you should choose the most beneficial and relevant information. Here are some of the things you might consider engraving on your dog's tag.
- Your Pet’s Name
- Your Phone Number
- Your house address - if space does not allow, then your city.
- Medical needs of the pet (vet info)
- Microchip information
- A personal message such as “I’m lost - please help.” “Call my owner.” “I’m friendly.”
- Reward for your pet’s safe return.
Attach the dog id tag to the dog's collar with a metal ring or clip. When buying pet id tags, don't forget to purchase tags for all animals in your home, such as cat ID tags.
