Tracing history back, dog tags became popular not only for pets but also for humans. They gained popularity when used by the military and its soldiers as a way of providing information for each soldier in battle. Dog tags were first used during the late 1890s and the 1st World War. Dog tags are worn around the neck of all soldier and is usually made up of two tags with the same information. Name, blood type, military unit are the usual information engraved in dog tags to help in identification of wounded or dead soldiers.

Nowadays, dog tags are still used in pets like dogs and cats. A dog tag is attached to a dog’s collar and it usually has some information like pet name and owner or any other information. Most pet owners use dog tags for their pets not only for informational and identification purposes but also to accessorize. Many pet owners, however, find the clinking of dog tags together disturbing or even irritating. When a dog walks, moves, or scratches itself, continuous clinking of the dog tags can cause much noise. Dog tag silencers were then invented to minimize, or at most eradicate, the clinking and the noise created by the tags’ movement.

Dog tag silencers come in different sizes, shapes, color and material. Their main purpose is to silence the clinking of dog tags. These dog tag silencers can be bought easily in any pet shop online or offline. They are usually made of rubber or special cloth so they are light on the neck of the dogs.
