Help your dog find their way home with the Ancol Aluminium Dog ID Tube — a simple, lightweight and waterproof way to carry your contact details on your dog's collar. Write your name and address on the paper slip inside, roll it up, pop it in the tube and screw it shut; the secure screw-top keeps the details dry and protected from the weather.

It attaches discreetly to any collar or harness using the included split ring, and at just a few grams your dog won't even notice it's there. Suitable for dogs of all sizes and breeds.

A note on UK law: dogs in a public place must wear a collar showing their owner's name and address, so an ID tube is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to meet that requirement — and to help a lost dog get home quickly. It works alongside microchipping, which is also a legal requirement.

  • Lightweight aluminium: Barely-there weight, built to last.
  • Waterproof screw-top: Keeps your details dry in all weathers.
  • Discreet & secure: Attaches to a collar or harness with the included split ring.
  • Helps meet UK ID law: A simple way to display your owner contact details.
  • Everyday & travel: Ideal for walks, holidays and days out.

How to use

  1. Write your name and address on the supplied paper slip.
  2. Roll the paper tightly.
  3. Insert it into the aluminium tube.
  4. Screw the tube closed securely.
  5. Attach it to your dog's collar using the split ring.

Check the tube regularly to make sure it stays securely fastened and the details are still legible.

One aluminium ID tube, a split-ring attachment and a paper contact slip. Available in red, pink and blue.

Ancol is an established British pet brand, stocked at Hairy Dogs.

Common questions

Is dog ID actually a legal requirement?
Yes — in the UK, dogs in a public place must wear a collar showing the owner's name and address. An ID tube holding a slip with your details is a simple way to meet that. Microchipping is also separately required by law, so the two work together.
Will it fit my dog's collar?
It attaches with a split ring to virtually any collar or harness, and it's light enough for small and large dogs alike — so it suits all sizes and breeds.
Is it really waterproof?
The screw-top closure keeps the paper slip dry in the rain. As with any screw fitting, check it now and then to make sure it's done up tightly.
Can I change the details later?
Easily — just unscrew the tube, swap the paper slip for a fresh one and screw it back up. Handy if you move house or change your number.
