Why Aluminum Is Such A Great Choice For Your Dog's ID Tag

  • 20 September, 2025

When it comes to choosing the perfect dog ID tag material matters more than most people realize. A great dog tag should hold up in the elements. It should resist the daily rough and tumble during only the funnest of play, and it shouldn’t weigh your dog’s collar down. These reasons are why aluminum was our top choice when designing these custom dog tags for modern, practical, and stylish pups.  

Aluminum dog tags strike just the right balance between lightweight comfort and impressive durability, making them a wise choice for dogs of all sizes and lifestyles. Here’s a closer look at just some of the reasons why we chose to craft all of our ID tags with aluminum.

Lightweight Comfort for Every Pup

One of the biggest advantages of aluminum dog tags is how lightweight they are. Unlike other metals, aluminum is much lighter. This means it is more comfortable for your dog to wear.

Your dog’s collar already carries a lot such as a buckle and a leash clip. Adding a heavy tag can create unnecessary bulk and irritation. Aluminum tags are so light that when we surveyed our very own dogs, they reported barely noticing the tags were even there

Being this light does not however mean that you’re sacrificing quality. Fun fact: Aluminum offers impressive resilience for its weight!

Tough Enough for The Funnest of Play

If you’ve read this far you know that dogs know no boundaries when it comes to activity. They hike, they run, they fetch, they swim, and they roll in the mud all in the name of fun. Their ID tags will in turn be subjected to a lot of wear and tear. Aluminum is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. And when you use anodized aluminum like we do, their ID tag will have an extra layer of protection against scratching and fading. 

The Takeaway: At the end of the day, your dog’s ID tag is more than just an accessory. It’s an essential part to keeping them safe. Choosing aluminum means choosing a tag that’s tough enough to stand up during play and light enough for the utmost comfort.
