Canine clothing is one of the fastest growing pet industries in the UK, even supermarkets like Tesco, Aldi and Asda are joining in the trend, with seasonal pet clothing becoming big business. Just like with humans’ clothes, dog bandanas have myriad uses, from simple fashion style to expressing personality, requesting some space and even to provide medical assistance.
The biggest gathering of dogs wearing bandanas made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2017. A total of 764 dogs wearing bandanas gathered with their owners for a charity event at the Big Red Farm Barn in Pretoria, South Africa. That is a whole lot of bandanas!

Heath Benefits of Dog Bandanas
Fashion is not the only use of dog bandanas. They provide multiple health benefits to both dogs and humans. The bandanas catch loose dog hair around the neck making it easy to remove. This is great for any friends or relatives who may have an allergy to dogs.
As a first aid item, they work quite well. We all know that in an ideal world we would have a first aid kit full of supplies and never be too far from a vet, but that is very rarely the case. In an emergency, a dog bandana makes a good tourniquet or bandage until you can get your dog medical assistance.
Dogs with light skin or pale hair are protected from sunburn around their necks when wearing a bandana. Additionally, if you have an anxious dog, stress-relieving sprays or herbal oils can be put on the bandana. The pheromones will be released slowly, providing your dog with hours of calm.
They are also great cooling aids. Dogs are not able to regulate their own body temperature like we can and are only able to lose heat from their paw pads, ears and by panting. During the summer months soaking a bandana in cool water will help dogs keep their body temperature down.

Protection
Some dogs, like Patterdale Terriers, are explorers and love to investigate new things and get up to mischief. Most of the time it is fine, but sometimes they find an interesting thing that you hope they will stay away from! If you have a dog that likes to roll in fox poo or rub against dead fish they find on the beach, then a bandana is a saving grace! Most dogs who roll on smelly objects will use their neck to get the scent on their skin. A bandana can be easily washed, either by hand or washing machine so you can avoid those difficult after-walk showers!
Yellow Dog Project and Training Bandanas
The Yellow Dog Project is a UK charity created for dogs who need to be given space on walks or when visiting the vet. The charity aims to raise awareness among dog owners to be aware of a dog wearing a yellow bandana as they may not cope well when approached by an off-lead dog or an unknown person. A yellow ribbon tied to the lead or a yellow bandana indicates such a dog. There are several reasons a dog may need a little extra space:
- Medical issues or recovery from surgery
- Training (especially good for puppies)
- Rehabilitation/rescue dog
- A bitch in season
- Nervousness toward other dogs
- Nervousness toward strangers
- Elderly dogs
- Visual impairment or blindness
When choosing bandanas for your dog, the most important thing is that your dog is comfortable wearing them. You should never force your dog to wear one. Whether your dog wears his to express his personality, warn other he is in training or to display he has an injury, you can ensure that he does it in style.
Rescue Dog Bandanas
Settling in with a new family can be an anxious time and it is not always easy to warn other dog owners that your pooch might not want to say hello. Sometimes it’s nice to share that your dog is a rescue dog and ask people to give him space while he settles. But remember by saying that your naughty dog is naughty because he is a rescue can put people off rescuing or adopting dogs. So although the rescue dog bandanas are nice, we prefer to say that our dogs are ‘in training’ when out and about.
