Quick Links: Plastic Tags Stainless Tags Brass Tags Aluminum Which tag is best?   Consider this: You are buying a Pet I.D. Tag to protect your pet from loss. Function/Durability are the most important considerations. We make the most durable tags available; our priority is a tag that will still be on your pet and readable years after you buy it. Don’t base your tag selection solely on how cute the tag is, our tags are as good looking as they get, but they are also more durable than the tags produced by any other manufacturer. The bottom line is: If your pet is lost you want the person who finds it to be able to read your contact information, if the text isn’t going to remain readable over time there is really no point in buying a tag at all. We Guarantee our CollarTags™ for the life of the pet. View our sample size chart and view our color sample chart. You may also view some samples for a better understanding of how the tags are engraved. We make high quality / durable plastic tags. I encourage you to try our plastic tags. Still, we do guarantee all of our tags. If you aren't happy with any plastic tag you receive from us, for any reason, or it doesn't hold up, we will replace it with a stainless steel tag, free of charge. You can't beat that! This means you have nothing to lose by trying our plastic tags. Many people think plastic tags are cheap, that's understandable, as many competitors do make flimsy plastic tags. Not one of our competitors makes a plastic tag equal to the ones we manufacture. We use a different kind of plastic than any other manufacturer I am aware of; a full 1/8 inch thick. Our plastic tags are made from UV-stable ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Our tags do not come apart, break, or fade and we guarantee them to last at least two years on your pet. Plastic tags must have an eyelet or the tag will fall off very soon after attaching it to the pet's collar. The eyelet must be made of stainless steel. Brass eyelets are just a small step above nothing and a regular steel eyelet will quickly rust. We put a stainless steel eyelet in every plastic tag we make. This is interesting: In situations where people can see our tags on a display in a pet store, our plastic tags outsell stainless by two to one. On the internet where people cannot see our tags "in person," the stainless tags outsells plastic by three to one. Also, many of the humane organizations that buy tags from me buy my plastic tags. View what our customers say. To sum up, I want to say that I have only one priority when I make a tag: durability. This is because I know that your pet's safe return may very well depend upon the tag you purchase from me. I am an honorable person and this is a responsibility that I promise to always take seriously. A pet store owner told me "I put one of your plastic tags on my dog and it was still readable eight years later.." Nothing lasts forever, but our plastic tags are durable while still being colorful. Please try one and see for yourself. NOTE: No plastic tag can stand up to being chewed on, not even ours. In general, this is only a problem for teething puppies. We guarantee our plastic tags will not break, we do not guarantee them to be "chew proof."

The big controversy here is: engraved or stamped? We engrave our stainless tags, we use a secret process that allows us to get the lettering deep into the surface while still engraving the tag. Engraved lettering is much clearer, sharper, larger and better looking (see pictures of our stainless tags). Stamped stainless tags cannot compare to the over all appearance of those lettered using an engraving process. At this time we use a non-magnetic stainless; very hard and totally rust proof, even if left in salt water. For the ultimate stainless tags see our CollarTags at the bottom of this page. Click here to order our Stainless Steel Tags I love brass myself, but, before you order one of my brass tags I want you to be aware of some "detractors" regarding brass as a tag material: First of all brass is a soft metal, it wears quickly and will not last nearly as long as stainless steel, or even as long as one of our plastic tags will. It may discolor the coat of some light colored pets. This does not occur on all pet's fur and may be similar to some people's skin turning colors when in contact with a given metal. Just sitting around a brass tag will quickly become badly tarnished, but the action of it rubbing against your pet's fur will likely keep it polished. Brass tags that are coated with lacquer to prevent them from tarnishing are a joke, the lacquer will quickly wear off and the tag will not retain the finish it had when you bought it. The action of the tag rubbing against your pet's coat should result in a dull golden look which I personally find attractive. As long as you understand these things and are willing to accept them I will say: "brass does make a good looking tag."

Does anyone out there fail to realize that aluminum is one of the softest metals available? The reason they use aluminum in these machines is that they cannot, with the available equipment, produce adequate pressure to engrave stainless steel. Aluminum tags are a cheap and risky way to protect your pet from loss. Tags made of aluminum may last on very sedentary pets, but even then the anodization (process used to color coat aluminum) will wear off and the tag will be a dull gray color. Don't buy aluminum tags, they are cheap and wear out quickly, thus jeopardizing your chances of getting your pet back should it become lost. CollarTags™ are the "way to go." They are, without Question: The Best Way to ID your Pet Available for: Regular 'belt-buckle' collars Adjustable collars (plastic 'snaps') Double-thick nylon collars We now have this style of tag to fit a wide variety of collars.

That's right: If you buy one of these tags from us and it ever wears out we will replace it free of charge. Even if you have a traditional / hanging tag on your pet, put one of these on its collar too, it's worth the small added expense. Long after the text has worn off a hanging tag your pet's CollarTag will still be there and readable, and, if you ever lose your pet that is all that will matter to you. When it comes to Pet Identification "function" is the most important consideration and NO tag functions better than a CollarTag™. "I bought a slide on CollarTag from your website...everyone wants to know where I got it. They just love it!! It's so much nicer to have a tag that doesn't jingle, and the peace of mind that he won't lose his tag when he's out in the field. I highly recommend this tag for any dog owner!!" - Cheryl of Lincoln Park, MI Note: We have CollarTag styles that work with Rolled Leather Collars, Martingale Collars, Invisible Fence Collars, and Double-Thick Nylon Collars with eyelets in the buckle holes.
