Dog Tag 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 a useful piece of information to help someone care for your dog until they can be returned home safely.
What should you not put on a dog tag? You can put as much information as you are comfortable with, but leaving your dog's name off of the tag may make it more challenging for someone to steal your dog. Besides, including your name and phone number are all someone needs to be able to contact you if they find your pooch.
Do Dogs Legally Have To Wear Dog Tags in Canada? It depends on where you are. While personal dog ID tags are highly recommended, not every province or municipality requires them by law. What is almost always required is a city license. Check with your local city/municipality for the requirements in your area.
Should Dogs Wear ID Tags? Yes, to ensure your pet's safe return if your doggo or kitty becomes lost. Ideally, your pet should have a metal tag attached that cannot break off the collar or tear away. The tag's material should offer scratch resistance and is in a suitable size.

Advantages of our Dog ID Tags
Wondering why your dog needs 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.
What to Engrave on Pet ID 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 back home if they get lost. The perfect information to include on a stainless-steel pet ID tag is your pet’s name, your phone number, and your 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
Include the following information on the tag to easily identify your pet for a fast and safe return:
- 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.
