Identity meets design
Safety that can be personal
An engraved ID tag makes it easier for whoever finds a lost dog to get in touch with you quickly.
At the same time, the tag becomes a personal detail that can be matched with your dog's collar or harness. Don Lorino's range includes ID tags in many shapes, materials, colours and sizes, from classic circles and hearts to playful motifs and models with sparkling details.
Each model has its own dimensions and engraving options. Always check the information on the product page before ordering.
The engraving guide
What should go on your dog's ID tag?
Prioritise information that makes it easy to contact you. The text should be short, clear and up to date.
- An up-to-date phone number is the most important detail.
- Your dog's name can go on the front.
- An extra phone number can be added if there's room.
- Short text normally gives larger, more legible engraving.
Read through the name and phone number one more time. The ID tag is made personally from the details you enter.
How to choose
A tag that suits both your dog and the collar
Size, shape and metal affect comfort, legibility and the overall look.
Start with your dog
A small dog or a delicate collar often works best with a lighter tag. A larger model gives more room for the engraving.
Choose the right look
Circles and bones feel classic. Hearts, crowns and playful motifs give a more personal look.
Match the hardware
A silver tone goes well with silver-coloured hardware, while brass creates a warm look with gold-coloured details.
Keep the engraving clear
Prioritise the phone number and avoid unnecessarily long text that can make the information harder to read.
Check the options
Some models can be engraved on both sides. The available options are always shown on each product page.
Check the tag regularly
Attach the tag to the collar's designated ring and check at regular intervals that both the tag and the split ring are secure.

FAQ
About engraved ID tags
What should go on a dog ID tag?
At least one up-to-date phone number should be included. You can also engrave your dog's name and an extra phone number if the model has enough space.
Which size should I choose?
Choose the size based on your dog's size and the width of the collar. A smaller dog usually needs a more delicate tag, while a larger tag gives more room for the engraving.
Is personal engraving included?
Personal engraving is included on Don Lorino's engravable ID tags. Any add-ons and options for an extra side are shown on the product page.
Where are the ID tags engraved?
The ID tags are engraved in Switzerland in collaboration with precision engraving specialists.
Can the tag be attached to both a collar and a harness?
Yes, it can be attached to a suitable ring on your dog's collar or harness. Regularly check that the split ring is secure.
Can an ID tag replace my dog's identification?
No. The ID tag is a visible, practical complement but doesn't replace your dog's permanent identification and registration.
