This brass nameplate is a good idea. You attach it to the collar so no noise and you can't lose it . You can order just the nameplate and attach it to your pets own collar with the rivets that are included or you can order a collar with the nameplate on it. Just the nameplate is like 3 bucks for the small and 4 for the standard size.

Pros: attached

Cons: none

My cat is a large cat and her neck can handle this brass ID. She looks so great with it attached to a black collar. And she is tortoise color.
*But most importantly, this brass ID is durable and very visible.
Easy to attach to collar w/rivets but I bought collar and brass ID from this Dr. Foster company and they attached the ID and sent me the complete package.

Pros: My cart looks gorgeous

Cons: None

I have this brass name plate attached to my cat's carrier. I have the soft sided black carrier and the brass nameplate looks beautiful.

My cat has a heart shaped ID attached to her collar. I thought the brass ID would be too stiff and uncomfortable around her neck, attached to her collar. Just my personal preference. Maybe better for a larger dog, collar.

Pros: Looks classy

Cons: None

It is nice to know that once your pet puts this on you can be assured the information will be there years later. Nothing is more sad to spend your money on engraved name tags and the information rubs off months later. This is the next best line of protection, with microchipping let being first, in getting your pets back home if they should get lost.

Pros: Information is always there and no tranishing.

Cons: don't have any

Even if cats are microchipped, collars with tags or bands like this are necessary so everyday people can identify them. These are nice because they cannot fall off as easily as tags.

Pros: Helps in identification

Cons: None
