Every year, thousands of dogs get lost. And the single most effective tool for getting a lost dog home fast is a name tag with a phone number on it. If someone finds your dog, they need a way to contact you immediately. A tag on the collar or harness gives them that in seconds.
Microchips vs Name Tags
Microchips are important and we recommend them - but they require a scanner to read, and not every person who finds a stray dog has access to one. A name tag works for anyone, instantly, with no equipment. They're complementary tools, not alternatives. Use both.
What to Put on a Dog Name Tag
- Your dog's name - helps strangers build rapport with your dog immediately
- Your phone number - the most important thing. Include a country code if you travel with your dog.
- Optionally: a second number, or your address
Beyond Function - the Tag as Accessory
At Petit Loup, our name tags are handmade from epoxy resin - each one unique, in colors and finishes that look beautiful against any collar or harness.
We have over 15 designs: deep emerald, hot pink, snowy white, black panther, rose, gold flakes, yin yang, barbie pink, sky blue, leopard print, and more. Each tag is lightweight, durable, and completely unique.
Round vs Bone-Shaped
We offer both. Round tags have a clean, modern look. Bone-shaped tags are more traditional. Both are equally functional - it's purely a style choice.
