Pets

Your pet is part of the family. And just as you would ensure your children can always come home, your pet should always be traceable back to you. A personalized dog tag from Armytags is not just an ID tag – it's made to last, in military quality, with embossed text that won't wear off.

Why choose a dog tag over a regular pet ID tag?

Most pet ID tags are made of thin metal with engraved text – text that wears down over time and becomes unreadable. An Armytag dog tag is different. The text is embossed – raised directly into the metal – and lasts for years without fading.

What should be on the pet's dog tag?

You have up to 5 lines of text. Here's what most people choose:

  • Line 1: Pet's name (e.g., THOR, LUNA, BELLA)
  • Line 2: Owner's name
  • Line 3: Phone number
  • Line 4: Optional other contact or address
  • Line 5: Optional "CHIP NO: XXXXXX" or "REWARD IF FOUND"

Does your pet have special needs? Many choose to add, for example, "MEDICAL NEEDS" or "ALLERGIC" – so anyone who finds the animal knows exactly what they need to know.

Perfect for dogs, cats, and other animals

Dogs: Sledding, hunting, swimming, running – a dog tag holds up no matter what your dog gets up to.

Cats: Even an indoor cat can slip out. With a dog tag, neighbours will know who the cat belongs to, and you'll get it home quickly.

Other animals: Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds with collars – any animal with a collar can wear a dog tag.

A gift that saves lives

A pet dog tag isn't the most glamorous gift – but it can be the most important. If your pet runs away, a clear and durable ID tag is what will get it home again.

Accessories

  • Silencer – The black rubber ring prevents the tag from making noise when your pet moves.
  • Extra chain or ring – To easily attach the tag to an existing collar.
