A personalized dog ID tag isn’t just a cute accessory - it is one of the simplest ways to keep your pets safe and reunite them quickly with you in case something happens. Of course we don't wish anything bad happening to your beloved pet but accidents do happen. If your dog ever gets lost, a clear, well made tag can make all the difference in getting them back home quickly.
More and more countries are requiring pets to be easily identifiable. Chip technology is great, don't get me wrong, but to be able to read a chip number, you need a chip reader. Then, said chip number needs to be registered in national database, so people who found your dog can get your contact information (it's also very important to keep it updated throughout the years). Even though I am pro mandatory dog and cat chips, the simplest solution of an ID tag attached to a collar can help a lot.
If you’re considering ordering one of our wooden, laser-engraved dog ID tags, here’s exactly how to customize it.
Why Choose a Custom Wooden Dog ID Tag?
Wooden ID tags offer a unique, natural look that stands out from standard metal tags. Ours are:
- made from quality wood for a warm, stylish finish,
- laser engraved for precise, long-lasting text,
- engraved on both sides for maximum information,
- lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear,
- less noisy than metal dog tags.
Step 1: Decide What Information to Include
Before placing your order, think about what you want engraved on your dog’s tag. The most important details are:
Front side ideas:
-
your dog’s name
Back side ideas:
-
your phone number
I personally don't include my pet's names. Instead we have dog tags engraved with phone numbers on both sides. If you'd like to include text instead of second phone number, "I'm chipped" or "Call my human" are great and short messages to include.
Tip: Keep it simple and readable. Clear information is more important than cramming too much text.
I've heard theories before that including your dog's name makes thieves' job easier. And even though I don't even want to think about this possibility , it is something to consider with rising number of pet theft in certain areas.
Instead of including our pet's names, we included phone number to both me and my partner. This way, if one of us in not available to pick up, there's another number to call.
Step 2: Fill Out the Customization Field
When you place your order, you’ll see an additional field on the listing where you can enter your engraving details.
Make sure to:
-
double check spelling (especially your phone number!)
-
clearly separate front and back text
Example format:
Front:
Bella
Back:
+31 6 12345678
This helps ensure your tag is engraved exactly the way you want it.
Step 3: Review Your Order Carefully
Before you complete your purchase:
-
check for typos
-
confirm the phone number is correct
-
make sure the name is written exactly how you want it (e.g., uppercase/lowercase)
Since each tag is custom made, accuracy here is key!
