We offer tags as small as 7/8" and as large as 2". Finding the right size for your pet often depends more on your pet's height than it does weight.

Here's a good rule of thumb: 

• 7/8" is good for cats and the smallest of dogs. Think Chihuahua, Yorkie, Mini Dachshund.
• 1" is perfect for dogs like small Beagles, mini Schnauzer, French Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers.
• 1 1/8" is best for small to medium dogs like Spaniels, Shiba Inus, and Havanese.
• 1 1/4" - 1 3/8" is great for pups like Labs, Doodles, Basset Hounds, and Golden Retrievers.
• 1 3/4" - 2" is the largest size we make and perfect for big dogs like Great Danes and Wolf Hounds.

If you're still unsure, others have found it helpful to cut a paper circle in the size you're considering and hold it up to your pup.

Yes they are!  Just ask the thousands of pups who are still wearing their first tag that they’ve had for years! Of course, wear and tear and how rough and tumble your pup is has an impact, but we know from experience that the tags hold up to even the toughest customer play!

Please check our Shipping Policies page for this information as it changes depending on the season.

Absolutely! Each tag we offer can be made with your pet’s name and at least one phone number on the back. Read the tag description for the tag you're interested in to see what will fit.

Doggonetags items are created from 3 different colors of metal.  Each tarnishes over time. While we can’t tell you how long that will take (because it depends on each dog and each environment), we can tell you it will happen. 

You can keep your tag shiny by using a polishing pad to buff it up on occasion. Please do not use a polishing liquid as it takes all the patina off. Patina helps show off details like your pet’s name and phone number. 

On occasion, your pup might do what pups do and go tromping through the mud. No fear about your tag! Simply wash it off in a mild detergent and warm water and wipe dry. If you want to keep it shiny, we suggest doing that as often as necessary and then buffing it with a micro polishing pad. Those can be purchased in our shop or in most craft stores.

Because your number has been either hand stamped or engraved, it’s not possible to change the number on the ID tag.
