CNC engraving vs laser engraving
Our buckles and tags are engraved with a diamond-tipped CNC machine, never a laser! Laser engraving is used by nearly all other collar companies - lasers are inexpensive but only burn the top surface coating of buckles. This etching often wears off the buckle in a short time. Our engraver physically removes metal and surface coating to provide a longer-lasting, professional engraving when compared to laser-etched products.
While our engraving process is vastly superior to most "laser etched" products on the market, care should still be taken to protect your items from friction damage.
The easiest way to do this is to avoid hanging metal objects near your tag! Hanging tags, lights, and other gizmos that swing or rub against engraved tags will inevitably cause premature wear and tear. Instead, fasten these items at the adjustment slide or a mini tag ring so they cannot make contact with your tag. Similarly, if you wash your engraved item, remove it first or protect it by placing it inside a garment bag or a sock so it doesn't get beat up in the washer/dryer.
Choosing the correct size
It is crucial that you choose the size tag opening that matches the width of your collar. Measure carefully!
The only exception is the 3/8” tag – these tags will fit most flexible 1/2” webbing collars as well as 3/8”.
3/8” tags fit 3/8” and most 1/2” collars, outside dimensions are approximately 1.33” x 0.63”, and weigh 0.1oz
5/8” tags fit 5/8” collars, outside dimensions are approximately 1.74” x 0.80”, and weigh 0.3oz
3/4” tags fit 3/4” collars, outside dimensions are approximately 1.74” x 0.90”, and weigh 0.3oz
1” tags fit 1” collars, outside dimensions are approximately 2.02” x 1.19”, and weigh 0.5oz
1.5” tags fit 1.5” collars, outside dimensions are approximately 3.66” x 2.00”, and weigh 1.7oz. NOTE: this size tag is BIG and relatively heavy. We recommend them for XL and GIANT breeds only!

IMPORTANT
You will need to meet at least one of these criteria
- also purchase a collar or harness with this listing, OR
- be making your own collar, OR
- have a collar with a free end to thread through the tag.
Engraved aluminum, brass or stainless steel ID tags for 1" or 3/4" collars and harnesses (3/4" tags work well on 5/8" items, as well). Choose from 20 fonts and 8 tag colors! Colored tags are anodized aluminum, silver tags are stainless steel, brass tags are solid brass.
BUILT-IN TAGS are added to your item during construction. It is important to measure a current collar for the most comfortable placement of built-in tags, while still allowing room to adjust for a perfect fit. Skipping this step could result in a collar that is too loose on your pet. We cannot guarantee fit on orders submitted without a measurement.
This step is only required for tags being built in to items also ordered from our store.
Tags will never fall off! Enjoy complete peace of mind that if your pet is wearing a collar, their tag will ALWAYS be there! Tags are gently contoured to fit your pet's neck.

Let customers speak for us
I bought one of these for all five of my dogs because I have 2, 18 month old standard poodles and they play pretty rough at times. These are high quality, excellent looking collars and they work as advertised!
Bought a breakaway because my shiba got caught on one of my cabinet handles with a regular collar...so this is safe but has his name in case he gets out of the house…we use his harness for walks. Love the pattern
Had this for about a month on a Kong 1.25 wide collar. Fits great no chance of it coming off without us taking it off. We got slate and font is easy to read and hasn't been scratched even with dogs wrestling and playing rough. Would definitely buy again down the road.
I was expecting fabric like most of the decorative collars, but this is the webbing so it should look nice for much longer! Really cute. I am sure I will get more.
When my friend told me forever ago that her poodle got strangled when their collar got caught on a fence I became worried about leaving collars on my dogs; however, I do like to keep them on because of the ID tags. Breakaway collars are the perfect solution. They can wear their collars and if they happen to get caught they won't strangle themselves. I like the collar I ordered for my pup and will definitely be ordering another one when he outgrows it. The shipping was fast and customer service seems great! I also like the piece of velcro (I think?) they included with the collar to make the collar harder to break off for larger dogs. It also gives instructions on how to cut the velcro to change the amount of force required for the collar to break apart.
These pet tags are absolutely beautifully engraved and the perfect size for my 1.5" collars for my dogs! Love the font and color choices! They shipped quickly and in perfect condition - thank you!
I ordered 2 collars with an add on for both and they both look great! We haven't had to rely on the breakaway part yet, but I'm glad it's there. We had an incident with other collars that was definitely scary. I like that these collars have a way to override the breakaway feature with an extra band around the breakaway part made for larger dogs (mine are 65lb and 85 lbs). I also really like the reflective portion of the collar and the engraved details. Overall these seem really well made and I'm glad I got these collars!
Love this company - they are my "go-to" for all my dog's collars - thank you so much for your professional yet personal service.
At first I ordered the wrong size, and the owner was so kind and understanding and I was able to exchange for the appropriate size for my 20lb cat. thus collar is perfect to hold a Whistle Go Explore! It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Perfect collar for my very active and playful German Shepherds. So glad I found these breakaway collars. The collars give me peace of mind
I feel much safer now that my pup has a breakaway collar on, and weve gotten lots of compliments on the fun bumblebee print. Thank you!
The description is factual that they are huge, which you should expect if you're ordering one to fit a 1.5 inch collar. It goes right on, is curved for comfort, doesn't jingle, text shows up beautifully. I am VERY satisfied with this purchase, and will come back when I need another one!
The colors are beautiful and the construction is great. We had a near miss with a freak accident with our old collars and are so glad to find these breakaway collars
After one dog twisted through his harness and made a dash for the main road, I 100% recommend everyone get a harness to collar safety clip. I got the 5/8" and it was big when my doodle was 8 weeks old, but now that she's 16 weeks old, it's a great size.
