Engraved Dog Tags

Stainless steel pet tags with lifestyle designs, deep laser engraved in Maryland. Four shapes, four finishes, 80 characters on the back. $22.99.

Every tag here is cut from stainless steel and deep laser engraved, so your text sits below the surface instead of printed on top. That is the difference between pet tags that stay readable through years of wear and weather and cheap pet tags that fade in a season. Stainless steel is the most popular material for engraved pet tags because it resists rust, holds a deep etch, and stays legible through mud, snow, and salt water.

Choose your shape by how much you want engraved, and your finish by your collar hardware. The front carries a lifestyle design plus about 12 characters for your pet's name. The back holds 80, enough for two numbers and an address, or a QR code instead. Keep it short: a finder squinting at small text in the rain needs a number they can dial, not your life story.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Put a design and your pet's name on the front, then use the back for a main number, a second contact, and your city and state.
In most places, nothing. ID tags are rarely the legal requirement; a rabies tag and county license usually are. ID tags are what get your dog home fastest.
Your phone number matters most, and everything else is optional. Nearly 40% of PawFurEver customers also engrave a full address on their ID tags, which gets a found pet home faster. Leave off whatever feels sensitive to you. A PawFurEver QR tag skips engraved details entirely: build a digital profile in the free app, hide anything private, and reveal it only if your pet goes missing.
Every engraved tag is $22.99, with engraving on both sides included and no upcharge for all 80 characters. Self-serve kiosks cost less but stamp rather than deep etch, and stamped text wears smooth.
Hardware stores and pet chains keep self-serve engraving machines, quick but limited to plain text on a stock blank. Ordering online gets designed pet tags, deeper engraving, and more room.
Stainless steel is the most popular choice, since it resists rust and holds a deep etch. Brass is durable but develops a patina. Silicone pet tags never jingle, though they degrade if chewed.
Deep laser engraving keeps text legible for years, because the letters are cut into the metal rather than printed onto it. PawFurEver pet tags are built thick enough to hold that depth, which is where poor quality tags fail.
Yes. A microchip cannot be read without a scanner, so it only works once your pet reaches a vet or shelter. Pet tags work immediately, in the hands of a neighbor.
Every shape runs just over an inch, slightly larger than a quarter. Light enough for a small dog or cat, and fine on a Great Dane.
About 12 on the front for your pet's name, 80 on the back. Enough for two numbers and an address, or "Call my mom, she's ugly crying, 555-234-5678."
Yes. Choose a laser-etched QR code in place of engraved text and it opens your pet's profile when a finder points a phone camera at it. Update the details any time without ordering new pet tags.
Within two days by USPS from Maryland, with priority options at checkout. Every tag is made to order, so those two days are production time rather than warehouse time.
