If you’ve ever been out for a walk and noticed a dog wearing a red collar, you might’ve thought it was just a bold color choice — nothing more than a fashion statement. But for many dogs and their owners, that red collar carries a very real message.
As pet owners — and especially those of us who’ve shared our lives with dogs over the years — we know that dogs “talk” to us in ways that don’t involve words. They wag, they bark, they snuggle up when we’re sad. But some of their most important messages come from what they wear. And yes, that includes the color of their collar.
