Furry fact: The colour of a dog collar may indicate his nature 

If you have a canine friend at home, you might often get confused while choosing dog collars. After all, there are so many options to choose from, isn’t it? However, some pet lovers are very smart while it comes to shopping for their four-legged friends. They don’t rely on the vast pool of options available. Instead, they analyse the nature of their pups and rest their choice of accessories (dog collars included!) on that. Now, that’s intriguing. But, how does it work? Well, it turns out that some colours hint at certain characteristic features of your all-too-favourite furry friend and pet accessory manufacturers use these universally accepted colour codes on their products. Do you want the world to know whether your doggo is soft-natured or violent? Use these colour cues while buying a collar or any other accessory for him. We will help you understand what these colours stand for.  

Red 
We have all seen dogs sporting dog collars, bandanas or even leashes that are colour red. A red collar signals that the dog is aggressive and even violent on occasions, which is why it’s better to maintain a safe distance from it. Come to think of it, red is the universal sign for ‘stop’. Isn’t that, right? It’s the colour that alerts us. So, the next time you see a dog wearing red coloured accessories, just watch out. It may be because it often snaps, attacks or even bites. The red accessory may also mean that it’s usually fine at familiar places and with familiar people, but become insecure when away. Interestingly, red collars are also often worn by service dogs. So, be on a lookout for that as well.  

Yellow 
Another common colour for dog collars is yellow. It indicates that a dog is nervous or anxious and may be unpredictable. So, just like a yellow traffic light tells you to slow down, this one says the exactly the same thing. Usually, dogs with yellow collars have underlying fears that haven’t been resolved.  

Green 
The colour green on dog accessories often indicates that the animals is friendly and is approachable. Let’s just say, it’s safe to interact with such pets.  

Orange 
The colour orange, although rare on dog collars, have a special significance. It means that the pet is okay with people, but do not interact well with its own kind.
