My Way To You round dog tags come in 25, 30 and 35 mm diameters. Each has a 2.5 mm-thick stainless steel body. Diameter is the distance across the tag; thickness is the depth of the metal.

Compare the three sizes

25 mm — 2.5 cm across
The smallest option. Start here when comparing tags for a smaller collar.
30 mm — 3 cm across
The middle option, with more front surface than the 25 mm tag.
35 mm — 3.5 cm across
The largest option, with the most front surface for your selected design.

These are size comparisons, not a guarantee of fit by breed or body weight. Your dog's collar, other attachments and comfort are part of the decision.

Check the outline before ordering

  1. Use a ruler to draw circles 25, 30 and 35 mm across on paper.
  2. Hold the outlines beside the collar attachment point to compare scale. Do not attach a paper sample to your dog.
  3. Allow for the attachment ring and any other collar tags.
  4. Choose that size in the designer and check how the pet name and artwork fit together.

Does a larger tag weigh more?

At the same thickness and material, a larger body generally uses more metal. We do not list an unverified weight in grams. If weight is a deciding factor for your dog, ask us for a measured weight before ordering.

What about a long name or detailed artwork?

Review your actual name and design at the selected size. A larger screen preview is not the same as seeing an engraving at its physical size. Check spelling, spacing and the overall balance before adding the tag to your bag.
