Product Information
Full details
The Ancol Reflective ID Dog Collar Tag is an essential safety accessory for dog owners who prioritize their pet's security during low-light conditions. Designed for durability and visibility, this tag provides a simple way to keep your contact information attached to your dog's collar, helping to ensure their safe return if they are lost. While it is a highly effective, low-cost solution for identification, users should be aware that it requires manual customization with a permanent marker, which is permanent once applied.

FAQs
Can I use a regular pen on the tag?
No, you must use a permanent felt-tip marker, as regular ink will likely smudge or wash off.
What information should I put on the tag?
Most owners include their surname and a current telephone number. Including a 'chip' notation is also recommended if your dog is microchipped.
Is the tag waterproof?
Once the provided adhesive cover is applied, the tag is water-resistant and protected from weather elements.
Can I choose the color of the tag?
No, the product is sold with colors varying, and you cannot select a specific color during purchase.
How long is the tag?
The tag measures approximately 6cm in length, making it suitable for most dog breeds.
Can I remove the information if I change my phone number?
Because the tag is designed for permanent marking, it is best to replace the tag if your contact information changes.
Troubleshooting
The adhesive cover has air bubbles
Use a credit card or your thumb to press firmly from the center of the tag outward to smooth the air bubbles.
The ink is smearing while writing
Ensure you are using a permanent marker and allow the ink to dry for at least 30 seconds before applying the adhesive seal.
Tag is loose on the collar
Ensure the attachment ring is fully closed or consider using a split ring to keep the tag securely fastened to the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your tag is straightforward: ensure the surface is clean and dry before writing. Once you have written your details, allow the ink to dry completely before applying the adhesive cover. To maintain the tag, occasionally wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove mud or grime, ensuring the reflective material remains clean and effective. The tag is compatible with almost all standard collar D-rings. If the tag shows signs of heavy scratching or the reflective coating begins to peel after years of use, it is recommended to replace the tag to ensure your pet's information remains readable.
