Personalised Black Dog Tag - Deep Engraved (Round)

A personalised black dog tag, deep laser-engraved to order in our Surrey workshop. The brushed black finish is the subtle, modern pick - it sits quietly on a dark collar, while the pale engraved lettering reads clearly against the black. Name tag on the front, ID details on the back.

Understated, until it matters

2mm-thick brushed stainless steel in a deep black finish. The engraving is lasered into the metal - not printed or painted on - so the contrast between lettering and black face stays crisp through mud, rain and salt water. Waterproof, rust-resistant, and the brushed surface hides everyday scuffs.

• Small (20mm, 4g) - cats, kittens, puppies, toy breeds
• Medium (25mm, 5g) - the size most owners choose: spaniels, dachshunds, labradors
• Large (30mm, 6g) - retrievers, shepherds, big breeds

Two stainless steel split rings included - use the small one on the tag, the large one on the D-ring.

What are the UK rules for dog tags?

In public, your dog should wear a tag with the owner's name and address. Adding a phone number is not a legal requirement - just the fastest route home for a lost dog. Tried-and-tested layout: name or symbol on the front; surname, house number, street, postcode, phone on the back.

Made in Surrey, checked by hand

Care

A damp cloth after dirty walks is all the maintenance it needs. No bleach, no scouring pads, and replace any split ring that begins to open or stretch.

Questions

Is the lettering readable on black? Yes - the engraved lettering shows pale against the black face, so the details read clearly at a glance.

Will it suit a cat or a puppy? Yes - the Small (20mm, 4g) sits neatly on cat and puppy collars.

Will the engraving fade? No - it is engraved into the metal itself, not printed, so daily collar wear will not rub it away.

Which size should I choose? Medium (25mm) suits most dogs; Small for cats and toy breeds; Large for a full address in bigger lettering.
