4 Things to Know When Choosing A Dog Tag

What metal should I choose for my dog's tag?

The most common metals used for dog tags in Australia are aluminium, stainless steel, and brass. Aluminium is by far the least durable of the three. Brass is a soft metal, and not as durable as stainless steel. There are varying grades of stainless steel used for tags, but all variants are by far harder and more durably retain their lettering after wear and tear on a pet.

Stainless Steel dog tags are most durable and good for pets who go in the water a lot, or those especially active pets who can be rough on their tags! they are the best canine dog tags for Australian dogs.

Aluminium tags come in a variety of colours and give excellent legibility since usually coloured dog tag surface has a sharp contrast with the lettering, used mostly for indoor canines.

What is the best marking method?

Metal dog tags usually have their information engraved or stamped into, their surfaces. The characters created by engraving are made by removing some of the tag's surface and in the past may not have been as deep as stamped characters, which are made by stamping the tag with a metal die.
