Dog Tag Suggestions

As well as the owners name and address listed below are some suggestions of what you may also like engraved on your chosen dog tag:

• Dogs name

If you find your address is to big to be engraved or if you would like to fit more information onto the dog id tag you can put your house number and post code onto the tag instead of the full address. This will still enable people to locate your address and is still legal.
