Abstract

Disclosed is a pet tag holder, namely a device for holding pet tag (e.g., license, identification tag, or the like) which can be suspended from a pet collar. Three embodiments of the pet tag holder are disclosed. All embodiments include a planar, inverted “U-shaped” mounting member, for connection to a pet collar. In each of the embodiments, the mounting member further has two downwardly positioned extension arms in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the mounting member. In each of the embodiments, one extension arm is fixed in space and the other arm is hinged to permit opening and closing of the holder. In all of the embodiments, one or more pet tags can be held on the post between the extension arms.
