Dogs love to wear accessories that show off their personality and style, and nothing does that better than a bandana! Not only do they look great, but they also help prevent sunburn on sensitive areas of their necks and heads, keep them cool on hot days, and provide comfort to older or injured dogs.
Dog bandanas are worn in various colors for a’signaling reason’ too! Different colored bandanas can alert other dog owners to a potential health or behavioral issue that their pets may have. It could be a warning that they are nervous, deaf, blind or in training and should only be approached after the owner gives permission.
Another reason is to be visible in the dark. Having your dog wear a brightly-colored bandana can make them more easily identifiable to drivers and passersby on walks at night.
Bandanas are easy to find and affordable. Most are made from breathable fabrics like cotton that put your pet’s comfort first. They can be machine washed cold on delicate cycle or hand washed and air dried. They can also be used as a collar or head tie and are available in a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles. You can check the perfect fit of your dog’s bandana by placing it gently underneath their chin and secure it loosely at the top of their neck. You should be able to insert two fingers between the bandana and their neck – if you can’t, it is too tight. Dog Bandanas
