The Reviewer's Dog, Daisy, Models Her Patriotic Bandana on the 4th of July |
Bandanas, Collars, and Clothes (Oh, my!):
Apparel for Your Patriotic Pooch
It's summer, which is synonymous for "fun," and one of the most fun holidays of the year happens to fall smack dab in the middle of summertime, on the 4th of July.
While picnics, parades, and parties are popular ways to celebrate Independence Day, people love to dress up in patriotic patterns and colors, too, to demonstrate their love for their country. For those of us whose pets (in this case, dogs) are important members of our families, we like to include them in our celebrations, too.
Let's review a few ways your dogs can help to show off your family's patriotic pride.
Red, White, and Blue Bandanas for Dogs

Patriotic Bandana with Space for Tags by KirasPetShop on Etsy |
For instance, take a look at this, my favorite dog bandana design, which works with the dog's collar. The bandana actually attaches over the collar using velcro, a feature you may have seen before, but the truly unique part is that there's a slot in the middle for the dog's tags to hang through. That's not only convenient, it also keeps the scarf from sliding around the dog's neck while you're on your daily walk. Order this bandana in sizes from extra-small to extra-large.
Prefer a different style or design? You'll find a huge selection of patriotic dog bandanas at this link.
Dog Collars for the 4th of July
A red, white, and blue dog collar is a quick and simple way for your patriotic pooch to show her true colors. Stars, stripes, and American flag patterns are always popular. Consider a bright patriotic collar with a pretty bow for her or choose something more subdued like the red, white, and blue preppy plaid collar for him, as shown above.
If you're looking for something a little different but equally patriotic and perfect for a dog belonging to a veteran, take a look at this awesome made-to-order digital camo dog collar. It's sturdy and includes a high-quality metal ring (or substitute plastic hardware) for displaying your pup's dog tags.

Thank God For Our Heroes Patriotic 4th of July Dog Dress by JustForBella on Etsy |
No matter which patriotic holiday is on the calendar, I hope you'll include your canine companions in your celebrations. Before you take your dog out during the day, even if it's just for your daily walk through the neighborhood, take an extra few seconds to tie on a patriotic bandana or switch to a red, white, and blue collar. It's an easy and fun way to show off your patriotic pride.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Susan
P.S. Did you know that July 5th is the day that the greatest numbers of dogs are admitted to animal shelters? Please keep your pets indoors and safe during 4th of July fireworks celebrations so they don't run away.

What adorable bandanas & collars for our 4-legged friends. A very patriotic way to walk your dog on the 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elf! We try to take advantage of every opportunity to demonstrate our patriotism.
DeleteYour Daisy sure is a beautiful girl and she is the perfect model for a lovely 4th of July bandana! I was quite impressed with the way the collar and tag bandana is made by KirasPetShop. Rather ingenious to use Velcro for safety purposes and I love the idea of using the tag to hold the bandana in place. All the pups are pretty in their patriotic apparel. A bandana is probably all either of our furbabies would tolerate so I am glad they were spotlighted.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, when Daisy wears a bandana, it seems I'm constantly reaching down and sliding it back in place where it can be seen. That's why this very clever idea really caught my eye. Kira's items have excellent reviews, so I felt very comfortable recommending her. Same with the other shopkeepers featured here. Oh, and I think a bandana is all Daisy would tolerate, too. My husband is fine with that, but he draws the line at dog dresses. :)
DeleteLove all you patriotic dog outfits and bandana's How cute!
ReplyDeleteAren't they? Something about the red, white, and blue really brings out the cute factor! Thanks, Mary Beth!
Deletewhat darling bandanas and collars for dogs!

DeleteAdorable! That little doggie dress is tooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know! I just love that dress. Perfect for a 4th of July parade!
