Dog Tags Will Make for Perfect Gifts for Pet Dads on Father's Day 2022

Do you know the history of dog tags? According to the Army Historical Foundation, William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper magnate, coined the term "dog tag." Hearst learned that the Social Security Administration was thinking of circulating nameplates for personal identification. The term, "dog tags" supposedly referred to identification tags of soldiers who wanted people to know their names after their sacrifice in the Civil War.

Certain rumors suggest that the tags were named so since they resembled the metal tag hanging from a dog's collar.

Fast forward to modern times and dog tags have evolved as men's fashion staples. They are even sported by top celebrities like Ryan Gosling. Just like Gosling wears his pendant in his beloved dog's memory, other pet dads can also keep their furry buddies near their hearts with dog tag pendant necklaces. So, this Father’s Day, gift such a necklace to a pet dad. Here are some top picks from our collection.

Anchor Dog Tag Pendant Necklace

You need not necessarily choose a dog paw jewelry design to impress a dog-lover. You can simply pick a dog tag with some other symbol. For instance, check out our yellow gold over sterling silver men's dog tag anchor pendant necklace in black onyx and white diamonds. The white and black stones will strike a brilliant contrast against each other. They would also add a classy touch to the pendant. On the other hand, the anchor would symbolize the recipient's feeling of protection towards his four-legged companion.

Cross Dog Tag Pendant Necklace

Again, you can think beyond dog paw jewelry for a dog-lover and opt for another impressive design in a dog tag. A great example is our yellow gold over sterling silver diamond men's dog tag cross pendant necklace. The cross adds a hint of style and boldness to the pendant. Since the cross is detachable, the pendant is unique. If the pet dad likes two-toned diamond jewelry, the necklace will be appropriate for him.

Star Wars Dog Tag Pendant Necklace

Is the recipient a fan of Star Wars? Then choose the Star Wars Fine Jewelry Threepio Series men's dog tag pendant necklace in yellow gold and silver as a Father's Day gift. The design is inspired by C-3PO™, the lifelong loyal friend of R2-D2™. The pendant is crafted to mimic the details of Threepio's strong build and frame. It can channel the inner protector in your loved one and his affections for his loyal furry friend.
