Instructions
Write a name on the plastic ID tag in a way that makes sure the information is going to stay on there. This means that simply writing the information in marker or pen is not good enough. You need to write on the ID tag with an engraving machine so that you know the information can't get wiped off.
Go to a pet store, such as PetSmart or Pet Supplies Plus, where you will have access to ID tag engraving machines. Since many of these machines have letter or word limits, make sure you read the directions before you start typing what names you want to write on the ID tag.
Find an online store that will write name on dog ID tags for you, such as TagXpress or TagsForPets. When paying a website to write on the ID tag for you, you will also usually have to buy the tag itself through the website.
Include both your dog's name and your name on the tag. More information that is essential on a dog's plastic ID tag is a phone number where you can be contacted and an address where the dog can be returned.
How to Write a Name on a Plastic Dog ID Tag
For most dog owners, there's nothing scarier than the thought of a beloved pet getting lost outside. However, no matter how closely you watch over your dog, you should always prepare for the worst. Once they are lost, dogs can't speak for themselves and can only rely on the information hanging from their collar. Therefore, what names you write on your dog's plastic ID tag, and how you make sure that information stays there, is key to keeping your dog safe.
