The “S” hooks given out with some pet ID tags are hard to fasten correctly, even when using pliers, and they always seem to be falling off the collar, giving up the tag or catching on something. A better choice for fastening tags is the split-ring. Many tag makers offer you a choice of fasteners. But if that’s not the case, ditch the “S” hooks and head to the hardware store. Split-rings are available cheaply there, in the key section. You don’t have to break your nails to get tags on these rings. Use a staple remover to pull them wide enough to slide on the tags.
