There are many reasons why getting a pet ID tag makes sense. Some people get their pets personalised ID tags and others spend extra money on designer pet ID tags. These tags help in the event of an emergency and they can also look pretty on pets.

However, there are a few things that many people may or may not realise about these tags. Some of them can be noisy, especially when the animal wears more than one tag at a time: D tag, a city license, and a rabies tag. This can be irritating not only for the pet but also for the people around them. Some animals are extremely sensitive to sound, though it may not appear like that. We may not always be able to protect our animal friends against outside noise but we can certainly do something to protect them against unwanted noise from something that’s meant to protect them.

The noise is but one aspect to this, though. There are other things about pet tags that may irritate your animal friend. The combined weight of the various tags may also irritate them. The solution to this is to only keep the tags that are really needed.

The easiest solution is to use something that’s called a dog tag silencer. This is a nifty little device that is generally made from silicone. The material can stretch and most silencers come in a variety of colours. The most common colours are black, yellow, pink, green, and blue. Other popular types are clear dog tag silencers and military camouflage.

Dog tag silencers were first used by American soldiers in the Vietnam War. These soldiers used the silencers to prevent identification by their adversaries.
