What is MoodTag?

Founded by an Australian dog owner frustrated with flimsy tags that fade in six months, MoodTag is a design studio engineering the future of pet identification. We believe a dog tag shouldn’t just be a piece of metal—it should be a permanent, indestructible piece of tech that guarantees your best mate’s safety.

The MoodTag Ecosystem

To achieve absolute permanence and give our customers total peace of mind, we have rebuilt the custom engraving process from the ground up. Explore the pillars of our brand below.

Deep Laser Engraving

We bypass outdated mall-kiosk scratch machines. Discover how our industrial fibre optic lasers physically carve text 50 to 100 microns into the metal for dirt-free, permanent readability.

Ecosystem FAQs

Traditional drag-engraving lightly scratches the surface of the metal, which quickly rubs away with daily friction. Our industrial fibre optic lasers physically vaporise and carve the metal up to 100 microns deep. This creates a permanent, high-contrast engraving that cannot rub off, ensuring your dog’s vital details are always readable.
Safety depends entirely on your pet’s size. For medium to large dogs, our 2mm Marine-Grade Stainless Steel is the safest option because it is virtually indestructible. However, for cats, puppies, and toy breeds, heavy steel can cause neck strain. For these pets, we exclusively recommend our feather-light 1mm Chroma Aluminium collection.
No. Many cheap tags use toxic chemical infills to make shallow engraving look dark. MoodTag relies purely on the power of the laser. We use a high-frequency pulse to clean the carbonised metal, creating naturally white, high-contrast text that is 100% safe and non-toxic for your dog.
