Legal Requirements

Different countries will have different legal requirements for pet tags - please check what is needed for your item.

In the UK, the Control of Dogs Order 1992 states that any dog in a public place must wear a collar with the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved or written on it, or engraved on a tag. Your telephone number is optional (but we would recommend this).

You can be fined up to £5,000 if your dog does not wear an identification tag.

You do not have to put your dogs name on the tag, this is optional. 

An example of the information to put on a dog tag is:
