Using this dog tag is easy. Just attach the ball chain to your dog's collar. When it comes to maintenance, you can clean it with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking good. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the matte finish or the engraved crest. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. If you notice any signs of wear, you might want to consider replacing it to ensure it remains a great accessory for your dog.
