FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Product
Solid stainless steel, thick enough to hold deep engraving that stays legible for years. Stainless steel resists rust, holds a deep etch, and handles daily wear on any collar. Deep engraving is the difference between a tag that survives years of collar life and a stamped tag that wears smooth within a season.
Four shapes, all around an inch and a quarter across. Circle is 30mm, bone is 38mm by 25mm, diamond is 37mm point to point, and hexagon is 33mm across. Circle suits most dogs, bone is a classic for medium and large breeds, and diamond and hexagon give a more modern look. All four are light enough for cats, puppies, and Great Danes.
Silver, gold, rose gold, and black. Pick the one that matches your collar hardware, or go with whatever suits your pet best.
Your pet's name goes on the front, and the back holds up to 80 engraved characters. That is enough for a phone number, a second contact, and your city.
Yes. Add the QR option at checkout and the back carries a laser-etched QR code instead of engraved text. A finder scans it with a phone camera and your pet's profile opens, no app needed. Free to set up and easy to update if your number changes.
One engraved tag in the shape and finish you chose, plus one 20mm stainless steel split ring that fits any standard collar D-ring.
$22.99, including personalization.
A full-color tag styled like your state's driver license, with your pet's photo on it. All 51 designs are available, one for every state plus DC. It is an ID tag with a sense of humor, and it still carries the details a finder needs.
Aluminum, which holds full-color printing that engraved stainless steel cannot. This is what makes the photo and the state design possible.
You can order the tag on its own, or the tag with a matching wallet card. The card is standard credit card size, 3.375 by 2.125 inches, so it fits any wallet slot. The tag goes on your pet's collar and the card goes in your wallet, so you carry the pair together.
$24.99 for the tag, or $28.99 for the tag with the matching wallet card.
A clear, well-lit photo where your pet's face fills most of the frame works best. Front-facing beats profile. If the photo you send will not reproduce well at tag size, we will reach out before we print.
Designed and made in Maryland, and they ship from Maryland.
Your pet reimagined as artwork, printed on gallery-wrapped canvas with a dark walnut frame. Upload a photo, pick your style, and we do the rest.
Watercolor, oil painting, Renaissance king, Renaissance queen, pop art, cartoon, astronaut, Christmas, pet and owner together, and a memorial portrait. Ten styles in total.
12 by 18 inches, gallery-wrapped, with a dark walnut frame.
Portrait orientation is available on every style. Watercolor, oil painting, cartoon, Christmas, and pet and owner together also come in landscape.
Yes. Choose the number of pets in the customizer when you order, and upload a clear photo of each one. Adding a pet changes the price, and the customizer shows it before you add to cart.
Starting at $69.99 for a single pet.
Portraits are produced within 2 business days, then ship like any other order.
A clear, well-lit photo taken at your pet's eye level, with their face in focus and not too far away. Natural light beats flash. Blurry, dark, or heavily filtered photos limit what the artwork can do. If your photo will not work well, we will reach out before anything is printed.
Biothane, a coated webbing that is fully waterproof and does not hold odor. It rinses clean under a tap, handles swimming, mud, and rain, and does not stay damp against your pet's neck the way nylon or leather does.
If your dog swims, hikes, or simply finds every puddle, a fabric collar stays wet and starts to smell. Biothane does not absorb water at all, so it dries instantly and stays fresh.
Measure your dog's neck with a soft tape, then add room for two fingers.
| Size | Neck | Strap width |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 7 to 10.5 inches | 5/8 inch |
| Medium | 10.5 to 15 inches | 3/4 inch |
| Large | 15 to 19 inches | 1 inch |
| X-Large | 19 to 25 inches | 1 inch |
Several two-tone combinations, including blue and orange, blue and white, purple and pink, pink and teal, and red and blue. Reflective options are available in pink and in blue.
The reflective versions carry a strip that lights up under headlights and flashlights, which helps on early morning and evening walks. It is a visibility aid rather than a light source, so it works when something is shining toward your dog.
Rinse it under warm water and wipe it dry. No soaking, no special cleaner, no waiting for it to dry out.
$19.99 to $23.99 depending on size.
The same waterproof Biothane as our collars. It stays grippy when wet, rinses clean, and does not absorb odor or hold water.
4.25 feet and 5.75 feet. The shorter length gives you closer control in town and on busy sidewalks. The longer one gives your dog more room on trails and in open space.
Yes, the same color combinations are available in both, including the reflective options, so you can put together a matching set.
A brass or brass-plated snap clip. Brass resists corrosion, which matters on a leash that gets wet regularly.
Biothane is strong and abrasion resistant, and it holds up well to daily pulling and outdoor use. As with any leash, check the strap and hardware regularly for wear, and replace anything that looks worn. A leash is walking equipment, not a tie-out or restraint system.
$27.99 to $29.99 depending on length.
Your tag carries a laser-etched QR code. If someone finds your pet, they scan the code with their phone camera and your pet's profile opens in their browser. No app to download, on their side or yours.
No. A QR tag does not track or locate your pet, and it does not provide live tracking. It works when a person finds your pet and scans the tag. Think of it as an ID tag that can hold far more information than engraving fits, and that you can update at any time.
Whatever you choose to display. Most pet parents include their pet's name, a photo, one or two phone numbers, and any medical or handling notes a finder should know. Anyone who scans the tag can see it, so include only what you are comfortable sharing with a stranger who found your pet.
Yes. When your tag is scanned, we notify you so you can respond quickly. If the person scanning chooses to share their location, that is included, which gives you a place to start looking. That location comes from the finder's phone, not from your pet.
Yes, any time, and as often as you need. Change your phone number, move house, add a medical note, and the tag itself never needs replacing. This is the main advantage over engraving a number into metal.
No. Setting up and using your pet's profile is free, and one account covers up to six pets.
Yes. A QR tag and a microchip do different jobs. A chip is permanent and readable by a vet or shelter, while a QR tag is visible to the ordinary person who finds your dog on the street and wants to help right now. Best practice is both, with your chip registration kept current.
We cannot promise a lost pet is found or returned, because that depends on someone finding your pet and choosing to scan. What the tag does is remove the friction for a person who wants to help, and give them everything they need in one place.
Enter your details in the personalization fields on the product page before adding to cart. For portraits, upload your photo and make your selections in the customizer.
No, and this matters. We engrave and print exactly what you submit, including spelling, capitalization, and spacing. Please read your details back before you order, especially the phone number.
Your pet's name on the front, and on the back a phone number you actually answer. If there is room, a second contact and your city help. If your pet has a medical condition or needs careful handling, that is worth including too.
Yes. Add one to your cart, personalize it, then add another and personalize that one separately. Each tag carries its own details.
Contact us at contact@pawfurever.com immediately with your order number. Personalized items move into production quickly, and once production starts we may not be able to make changes. We will always try.

Only if you own it or have permission. Professional pet photography, licensed characters, sports and entertainment logos, and brand marks belong to someone else, and we are not able to reproduce them. Photos you took yourself are always fine.
Yes. Email contact@pawfurever.com with what you have in mind and we will tell you whether we can make it and what it would cost.
