Pretty sure even Diddy doesn’t sleep in his chains. A gold medallion may sound cool, and make your dog look like a 90s rapper, but it’s not practical for you or them. It goes without saying that anything hanging from your dog’s neck needs to be almost imperceptible. Better to get a simple engraving or black font that everyone can read easily. Having said that, I wouldn’t recommend having coloured font for your personalised dog tags for the exact opposite reason. Sometimes it can help if your dog has a brightly coloured tag as it can improve the legibility. This is handy if you plan to have a variety of collars that you use interchangeably with your fashionable pup. On the other hand, you can opt for a simple shape and colour that can match any collar you choose. Why shouldn’t your dog’s tag be beautiful too?

It can be a hazard should the tag bend into a shape that is harmful to your dog if they or a playmate were to fall on it, and of course, aesthetically, it’s a bit annoying. Some give in the material, for example bending metal etc is not the end of the world, however. What you don’t want is a tag that is likely to snap off or snap in half.

Personalised dog collars are a great alternative to dog tags but do have their drawbacks. What are the merits of purchasing one of those over a physical dog tag? So first, I’m sure you are aware of collars that can be engraved with your dog’s details.
