Round tags do one thing better than shaped ones: every millimetre of the disc is usable, so a circle of a given width takes more characters than a bone or a heart of the same width. If you are trying to fit a mobile number, a surname and a postcode onto one face, the shape stops being a styling decision and becomes a question of how much actually fits.

This is the plain stainless version, with no enamel and no plated colour, so there is nothing to chip away and expose bare metal beneath. The engraving is cut into the steel and stays legible through years of knocking against buckles and bowls. Red Dingo guarantee their tags for five years, and we cut the lettering here in the UK, so your order does not sit in a queue overseas before anything is dispatched.

One thing worth knowing. The product is the circle, as shown in the photograph.

Who it's for: Anyone with more to engrave than a short name and number, and owners who prefer plain metal to colour on a collar that gets worked hard.
