Doggie Couture Shop is passionate about the safety of your dog, and although we all love a good time, please remember that this can be a stressful time for your dog.

Statistically only 16% of dogs that are found and returned to shelters are reunited with their owners. We want you to be prepared and always keep a dog ID tag on your pet especially during the summer months when the weather can be so extreme and dogs can end up on the streets!

Our hand stamped dog ID tags are an excellent way to identify your pooch! The Dixie Pet ID tag has space for your pet's name as well as your address and phone number. Also the Rustic Triple Disc Pet ID tag is an excellent choice. All of our hand stamped pet ID tags are high-tolerance so they will not weather when being worn.

The Mid Century Modern Custom Silver Pet ID tag is another very durable choice. It is customizable with your pet's name and your contact information. Doggie Couture Shop has lots of styles to suit you and your pooch's preference! Many of the doggie designs and colors are gender neutral like the Modern Green Circles Custom Silver Pet ID Tag so they will fit your little girl or boy!
