Using this ornament is super easy. Just attach the included hanging cord to the ornament and hang it on your holiday tree. It's a great way to show off your love for your pet during the holidays. As for care, since it's made of lightweight aluminum, it's quite durable. But try to avoid hitting it against hard objects to keep the gloss finish looking nice. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. And remember, the artwork is copyrighted, so don't try to reproduce it.
