Black or red, medium only, and a crossed-bone motif that reads as pirate rather than pretty: this is the tag people buy when the usual pastel discs do not suit the dog wearing them. The design is enamel set into metal, with the engraving cut through the colour so the lettering shows bright against a dark ground. Dark tags are often the hardest to read, and this one is not.

Red Dingo's enamel sits recessed rather than painted on top, which is why these survive as long as they do on an active collar. Both options here are the 30mm medium, the size that suits most dogs from a spaniel upwards, and both take the same number of characters per line. We engrave in the UK before dispatch, and the tag carries Red Dingo's five-year guarantee.

On size. Medium is the only size offered in this design, so on a very small dog or a cat it will hang lower and clatter more than a 20mm tag would. The paw print and plain bone designs in this range go down to small if that is what you need.

Who it's for: Owners of medium and large dogs who want a tag with some attitude, and who still want the number readable when a stranger is holding it.
