If you’re a pet parent in Australia, one of the most important accessories you can buy is a personalised pet tag. Not only are tags a legal requirement in many councils, but they’re also the fastest way to bring your furry friend home if they ever get lost.
But when it comes to designing your pet’s tag, the question is: what information should you actually put on it? Here’s everything you need to know.
1. Your Pet’s Name
This may sound obvious, but including your pet’s name makes a big difference. A lost pup or cat will feel calmer when a stranger can call them by name. Plus, it helps anyone who finds your pet distinguish them from others.
💡 Browse our Personalised Dog Tags and Cat Name Tags where you can add names in a range of fonts and styles.
2. Your Contact Number
The most crucial detail on any tag is your phone number. Make sure it’s your main mobile, not just a landline, so you can be reached anytime. Some pet parents even add two numbers (partner or family member) for extra safety.
👉 At Zoopeez, our Personalised Dog Collars and Dog Harnesses with Name can also be customised with your phone number stitched in, for extra peace of mind.
3. Your Address (Optional)
Some owners prefer to include their suburb or street, so that anyone who finds the pet knows they’re close by. For privacy reasons, you might just list the suburb and postcode rather than your full address.
4. Microchip Information
If your pet is microchipped, you can add “I’m chipped” to the tag. This lets finders know that even if the tag gets lost, your details are registered at the vet.
5. Medical Needs (Optional)
If your pet has special medical conditions (like diabetes or epilepsy), you can note this on their tag: e.g., “Needs daily meds”. This ensures they get the right care quickly.
6. A Touch of Personality
Pet tags don’t have to be boring! Many pet parents add fun lines like:
-
“Call my mum, she’s lost without me”
-
“Friendly floof – please return me”
-
“Adventure dog, but I always find my way home”
