Caring for Your Paw Yes Brass Dog Tag

Solid brass ages like a 90s icon — bold, warm, and full of character. With a little care, your tag will stay shiny, readable, and beautiful for years.

 When putting your new tag on

• We suggest to use a pair of pliers to tighten the D shackle firmly. (it helps if you remove the collar from your dog first, then add the tag to the collar)

Everyday Care

• Wipe the tag with a soft cloth every now and then to remove dirt, drool, and dog‑park dust.

• Rinse with clean water after beach or creek adventures to prevent salt build‑up.

Patina (The Good Kind)

Brass naturally develops a warm, vintage patina over time — it’s part of its charm. If you love the aged look, just let it happen. If you prefer your tag shiny, see below.

 Polishing Your Tag

To restore shine:

• Use a gentle brass polish or a natural cleaner (like lemon + baking soda).

• Apply with a soft cloth, rinse well, and dry completely.

• Avoid harsh abrasives — they can scratch the surface.

 Keeping Engraving Clear

• Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean engraved areas.

• Avoid soaking the tag for long periods.

 Water Play

Brass loves adventure but appreciates a rinse after:

• Saltwater

• Chlorine

• Muddy creeks

• Dry thoroughly to keep it looking its best.

What to Avoid

• Harsh chemicals

• Bleach

• Steel wool or abrasive scrubbers

• Leaving the tag wet for long periods

 Longevity Tips

• Check that all pieces are in good condition regularly.

• Remove the tag during rough play if your dog is a heavy scratcher.

• Give it a quick wipe after big adventures.
