With current technology and vet practices, pets are often tagged with a
microchip or even a tattoo for easy identification, an especially helpful tool
for lost animals. However, did you know that dog tags and cat tags provide
an additional layer of identification protection? Sometimes, a pet shelter or
veterinarian may not have the capability to scan for a microchip and even if
they did, sometimes they miss it. Tags attached to your pet’s collar can
provide immediate contact information for the pet’s owner.
Functional and Visually Appealing
Our Online Pet Accessories Shop offers Red Dingo tags for both dogs and
cats. These tags are available in a variety of styles, shapes and colours.
Engraving is included with the purchase so you have the option to place your
contact information as well as your pet’s name on the tag. They can be
easily attached to dog collars and cat collars.
Your taste and style will dictate the tag you choose for your pet. There are
tags in the shape of bones, hearts, fish and dog and cat heads. Some of
these tags come in enamel-coated stainless steel while others are brass,
plastic or regular stainless steel. They also can be purchased in various
sizes, depending on the size of your pet.
The Importance of Tags
When shopping for pet supplies, add identification tags to the list of
necessary items. Many pet owners agree that this added layer of protection
is important and yet, many of them end up taking the tags off their pets,
claiming that their indoor status does not necessitate wearing tags. What
happens when a door or window is left open by accident and your pet makes
a run for the outdoors? There have been reports of pets being found
hundreds or thousands of kilometres away!
Pet owners, especially those with cats, claim that their pets are irritated by
the tags and the collars they wear. It does take a while for these animals to
become accustomed to wearing something around their neck. As long as
their collar and attached tags do not impede with their breathing and motor
functions, you should keep them on your pets.

If you can start your pets early while they are still puppies or kittens, the
process of acclimating them to their collars and tags goes more smoothly.
Dog tags and cat tags should not be considered an optional item but rather a
necessity. Their safe and timely identification depends on it. So the next
time you go shopping for your pet, don’t forget to include identification tags
on your shopping list.
