Brass Dog Tags & Gold Pet ID Tags
Solid brass is our most requested finish: a warm, classic look that develops a natural patina with age rather than looking worn. Every brass dog tag is deep laser engraved rather than stamped, so the lettering stays legible for years, not months.
FAQ: Does brass tarnish over time?
Brass will develop a light patina outdoors, which most owners find adds character rather than detracting from legibility. For a low-maintenance alternative, our stainless steel range keeps its original shine.
