Different veterinary clinics, trainers, rescue groups, and owners use colored vests for different purposes, so blue should never automatically be interpreted as one specific warning.<\/p>\n<p>At a veterinary clinic, a vest may be used to identify a dog that needs extra space, is nervous around other animals, is undergoing training, or should not be approached or distracted. Some service dogs and service-dog trainees also wear blue vests, although service animals are not legally required to wear any particular color. If the vest says \u201cDo Not Pet,\u201d \u201cIn Training,\u201d \u201cNervous,\u201d or something similar, that wording is far more important than the color itself.<br \/>\n        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\"\r\n             data-id=\"rmwr-p1255-1\"\r\n                          data-key=\"p1255-1\"\r\n                          data-post=\"1255\"\r\n                          data-animation=\"none\"\r\n                          data-duration=\"300\"\r\n                          data-mode=\"normal\"\r\n                          data-lazy=\"false\"\r\n                          data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\r\n                          data-scroll-offset=\"0\"\r\n             >\r\n            <button\r\n                type=\"button\"\r\n                class=\"read-link \"\r\n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-p1255-1\"\r\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\r\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\r\n                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-p1255-1\"\r\n            >\r\n                                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\r\n            <\/button>\r\n            <div\r\n                class=\"read_div\"\r\n                id=\"readrmwr-p1255-1\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\r\n                style=\"display: none;\"\r\n            >\r\n                                    <br \/>\nVeterinary waiting rooms can already be stressful places. Dogs may be frightened, injured, recovering from surgery, or reacting defensively because they feel trapped. That\u2019s why it\u2019s generally a good idea to keep your dog close and ask the owner before allowing any greeting, regardless of whether the other dog is wearing a vest.<\/p>\n<p>So the receptionist may have known that this particular clinic uses blue vests as a signal to give a dog space, or the vest itself may have contained information that wasn\u2019t obvious from a distance. But blue isn\u2019t a universal secret code that every dog owner is expected to know.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest rule is much easier: if a dog is wearing any working or warning vest, give it space unless the handler says otherwise.                                              <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeing a dog in a bright blue vest can make it look like there\u2019s a universal code everyone else somehow knows, but vest color by itself does&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
