13 Stylish Dog Tags Your Dog Won’t Mind Wearing One Bit

You want the to be safe, but you also want them to look good. Win-win.

November 26, 2024

If you think about it, a dog’s ID tag is both their most precious piece of jewelry. As pet parents, we hope that this two-inch object remains simply decorative — but the hard truth is a durable, high-quality ID tag can help ensure your dog’s safe return if they run away or otherwise get lost. Even if your dog is microchipped, which can increase your pet’s safe return by 20 percent, a physical dog tag is the first line of defense for a lost dog.

But enough of the scary stuff, because these days there are a ton of high-quality, high-key cute ID tags for you and your pup to choose from. These are just a few that we have been “adding to cart” lately:
