We make simple, readable pet tags with care from our little corner of Wexford.
Personalised dog tags, made closer to home.
Choose a dog bone, round or heart-shaped tag, add two clear engraving lines and check the live preview before you buy. No overseas wait, no guesswork, just a clear tag made for getting them home.
Orders are prepared here and sent by standard Irish post, without a long overseas detour.
The builder checks whether the engraving fits before the customer reaches payment.
Choose the shape that fits.

Built for clear contact details
The first job of a dog tag is simple: help a good person contact you quickly if your dog wanders. The DogTag.ie builder keeps the layout short and readable.
- Line 1 for a name or key message
- Line 2 for a phone number
- Optional reverse engraving for extra details
Three everyday shapes
Choose from practical anodised aluminium tags: Dog bone, Round or Heart-shaped. Each shape has its own clear engraving area, colour list and live preview.
- Dog bone: classic and friendly
- Round: simple and balanced
- Heart-shaped: warm and distinctive
Visible identification that works straight away
A clearly engraved dog tag gives a finder a contact route they can use immediately, without waiting for access to a microchip scanner. Keep the essential details easy to read and treat the tag as visible identification alongside, not instead of, a registered microchip.
- Use short wording that can be read quickly.
- Keep the main contact detail current.
- Check the engraving and attachment ring regularly for wear.

Can I put my dog’s name on an engraved dog tag?

What can be engraved on a personalised dog tag?
Each available shape supports two clear front lines, with optional reverse engraving for extra details. Short wording is easier to read, so prioritise the pet name or key message and the main contact number, then use the reverse for additional owner information.
