One size, one colourway, no decisions to make: a Union flag in enamel on a 30mm navy tag. It tends to be bought for a dog who travels, or by a household who simply likes the look, and there is a practical side too — a distinctive tag is far easier to describe over the phone than a plain silver disc when somebody rings to say they have found your dog wandering.

The flag is enamel set below the surface of the metal rather than printed on top, so the colours are protected by the raised edge around them. Engraving is cut through to bright metal on the reverse face, and we do that here in the UK, which is why these ship within days rather than weeks. Red Dingo's five-year guarantee applies, and only the medium navy version is stocked in this design.

On travelling abroad. A flag tag is decorative, not documentation. It does not replace a microchip, an animal health certificate or any of the paperwork a trip needs, and it is the chip that actually reunites you if the collar comes off. Treat this as the visible layer sitting on top of the chip.

Who it's for: Dogs who travel with their owners, and anyone who wants something recognisable rather than another plain disc on the collar.
