I think these new bandanas that Catherine from Blankets in Bloom has come up with is a wonderful idea.  So much so, I had to order one for Gidget and share with you today.

Catherine loves to help dogs in her own special way by using her talent of sewing.

Wanting to help dogs with special needs she came up with the idea of a bandana that states a dogs special need if they have one to help alert others when out in public.

I know personally, for me, I worry that kids may approach Gidget’s back with rough hands or try to pick her up.  With a bad back, I have to be careful about that with her.

I’ve also been concerned since she has had seizures and that she may have an episode while out in public, that people will give her the space she needs.

So I loved the idea of stating these special needs on a bandana when Catherine emailed me and asked me what I thought.

It’s also another way in which I can educate others about Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) spreading awareness of the options available.  And that there are options for dogs with seizures too.

The option is great if you have a dog that is blind or deaf also as that is hard to know when you approach a dog.

Of course, if you don’t have a dog with special needs, you can also just get a fun, snazzy bandana with your dogs name on it, in whatever colors you like.  Catherine will custom make one for you.
