Brass is a beautiful metal that tells a story over time. With daily wear, your dog’s tag will naturally develop a patina—adding character and charm. If you prefer a brighter shine, a simple polish now and then will bring back its original luster. Whether you let it age or polish it up, brass is built to last a lifetime.

Avoid harsh chemicals: Skip bleach, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners—they can damage the surface.

Dry thoroughly: After contact with water, make sure the brass is completely dry to prevent water spots.

Store smart: If you're not using the tag for a while, wipe it down with a soft cloth and keep it in a dry place in the bag it came in.

Polish when needed: A quick polish every now and then can bring back the gold shine without affecting the deep engraving.
