How to Tie a Dog Bandana ‒ Safety Tips
For the comfort of your four-legged friend, you need to choose the right size. To do this, measure his (her) neck in the widest part. Thanks to this, in the store you can easily choose the size, and the model is a matter of taste (yours or your dog ☺).
Pay attention that it fits snugly enough to the body, but does not pull together and does not impede the movements. That's all!
And do not forget that a bandana can be useful. This accessory can be applied with a soothing spray if you are traveling. A fluorescent bandana will make your friend more visible at night. On hot days, the bandana can be wetted for a cooling effect.
The color of the bandana matters: green indicates friendliness, yellow ‒ vulnerability (blindness or deafness), red signals that the dog dislikes communication. You can also put your own logo on the bandana, which will tell more about you and your pet.
So, bandana + dog = fun. The most difficult thing here is to remember the size of your pet's neck. Even a stern Rottweiler with a bandana looks cute and fun. Are you still reading the article and not running to the store for a bandana? How do you tie a dog bandana?
