Photo Dog Tags

Your pet's actual face on their collar, printed in full color on lightweight aluminum. Ten backgrounds or send your own picture. 80 characters or a QR code on the back. $22.99, ships in 2 days.

A photo dog tag puts your pet's face where a name usually goes, printed in full color rather than etched in monochrome, so the tag actually looks like them. Choose one of ten backgrounds, from tie-dye and rainbow to space, flag and animal print, then add your pet's name in the font you like. If you already have a design you love, send the finished picture and PawFurEver will print that instead.

These are working pet ID tags, not jewelry. One standard dog tag shape, sized for a collar rather than a chain, built on the same lightweight aluminum as our license tags so a full-color design stays comfortable to wear. The back is yours: 80 characters for two phone numbers and an address, or a laser-etched QR code that opens your pet's profile when a finder scans it. Personalized in Maryland and shipped in two days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A pet ID tag with your pet's photograph printed on the front instead of engraved artwork. Yours goes on a collar, carries your contact details on the back, and does the same job as any other ID tag. It simply looks like your dog rather than a generic shape.
Most search results for photo dog tags are human jewelry: pendants and necklaces built on the military tag shape. our photo tags are the pet version, made for a collar, with your contact information on the back and a split ring in the box.
A clear, well-lit shot of your pet looking toward the camera. The tag is roughly the size of a quarter, so profiles, distant shots and busy backgrounds lose detail fast. Close and bright beats artistic every time.
Yes. Choose one of our backgrounds, or send a finished picture and PawFurEver will print that exactly as supplied. Plenty of people send a design a friend made, or a photo already cropped the way they want it.
Ten: space, rainbow, flag, tie-dye, animal print, purple, blue, yellow, green and pink. Pick the one that suits your pet's coat, since a light dog reads better on a dark background and vice versa.
Printed in full color on lightweight aluminum, the same construction as our license tags. Engraving would render the photo in monochrome, which loses everything that makes your pet recognizable. Color is the whole point of this tag.
The print is sealed rather than exposed on the surface. As with any color print, constant sun and heavy abrasion dull it faster than a laser-etched steel tag would. If your dog swims daily and rolls in gravel, an engraved tag lasts longer, and plenty of people wear both.
Your choice: 80 characters of engraved text, or a QR code. Eighty characters fits a main number, a second contact and an address. The QR code opens your pet's profile in the free PawFurEver app when someone scans it with a phone camera.
Yes. Photo tags take a QR code on the back in place of text, the same as our engraved, breed and birth flower tags. License tags are the only exception, because the license layout uses the entire back.
Your phone number matters most, and everything else is optional. Nearly 40% of our 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.
In most places, nothing. ID tags are rarely the legal requirement; a rabies tag and a county license usually are, and rules vary by county. A photo tag sits alongside those rather than replacing them.
Hardware stores and pet chains keep self-serve engraving machines, which are fast but limited to plain text on a stock blank. None of them print photographs. Ordering online is the only practical way to get your pet's actual face on a tag.
They do. One standard dog tag shape, just over an inch and slightly larger than a quarter, light enough for a cat collar or a small dog and legible enough for anyone who picks it up.
No. we print the photo as uploaded and ships within two days, the same as our other tags. If we get the customization wrong, a replacement ships at no charge. If the order was wrong on your side, reach out and we will send a replacement at 50% off.
Within two days by USPS from Maryland, with priority options at checkout. Every tag is printed to order, so those two days are production time rather than warehouse time.
