Dangling name plate

A collar tag is a small piece of metal or plastic attached to a pet's collar, typically engraved with the animal's name and the owner's contact information.

Tags may also display proof of vaccination or licensing: The collar tag jingled as the dog ran.

Some tags include medical information or microchip registry numbers.
