Review on 🐾 Personalized Embroidered Blind Dog White Bandana: Alert, Safe & Stylish Neck Scarf for Preventing Accidents and Warning Others in Advance by Diane Brown

My dog likes it. He was always the "grumpy old man" at the dog park. He will discipline other dogs if they get too close, play too hard, chase each other, etc. He is not aggressive; he just doesn't want anyone to have too much fun. He has this funny "woo-woo" vocalization that he lets out whenever the dogs around him get too close or too violent, or he thinks he needs to end a playfight. He recently lost most of his vision due to cataracts. making him flinch and more reactive when other dogs bump into him or get too close. Otherwise, he quickly adapted and learned to aim for sounds. I often found myself explaining why I was yelling, clapping, and whistling for him at the dog park, even when he was running straight at me. I also feel the need to explain why he walks away from people petting him (he's very friendly to people but can't see them) and why he flinches when something quickly enters his limited field of vision or touches him he doesn't know that it is there. It seemed like I spent a lot of time explaining his strange behavior so I decided to give him this headscarf as a present. (I also have another younger dog, one of those wild dogs that run around playing and fighting and chasing other dogs, so my attention sometimes wanders; unless, of course, she clumsily bumps into her brother and doesn't pounce on it, that it's totally his fault as he knows his brother is blind and grumpy.) I was a little hesitant to buy it, not sure if it would work as intended but he's been wearing it on ours for a few weeks weekly trips to the dog park, and not only does this save me the hassle of explaining to everyone at the dog park that he has limited vision, but it was also very handy for avoiding misunderstandings with other dog owners when he growls at their dogs, because they got too close to his face or when they encounter him during a game. Now that he's wearing that headscarf, everyone at the dog park feels sorry for him and forgives his grumpiness. In particular, women (his loved ones) flatter him. I find this quite amusing, as do a few dog park goers who know he was a grumpy old man before he lost his sight. My dog is a 40# mix (he looks like a Corgi/Golden Retriever mix). . He has a thick mane but the bandana is still clearly visible when pointed at his back/shoulders. Being white it gets dirty easily, especially if you have a dog like mine that likes to roll in the mud and grass, but the white color is easy to spot against his red and gold coat. I cut off the excess Velcro once I figure out the right size for his neck. My only criticism is that the triangular shape is better suited to a bandana that drapes over the chest; However, the words in this position are not visible on my short-legged, fluffy dog. Instead, I center it over his back/shoulders so people can see him looking down at him, but the top flips and folds in half, hiding the words. I've started folding the top and will probably secure it permanently with a few stitches in the near future. Also, it stays in the right position and people notice it pretty quickly. Only one person mistook this for a guide dog, which led to the rather amusing conversation that my blind dog was a guide dog. for a blind person and they couldn't figure out how it worked.
