What colour do dogs for good wear wear?

• A. Green
• B. Blue
• C. Yellow
• D. Burgundy

Answer: (A)

Color signals on dogs’ markers are used to communicate handling status at a glance. When a dog is marked with green, it usually means the animal is friendly and good with people, so staff can approach and handle them with normal precautions. This quick cue helps everyone work more efficiently and safely in busy clinics or shelters, reducing stress for the dog and for the handlers.

Other colors are used to indicate different needs or cautions, such as dogs that require a slower approach or extra space, or those with medical or behavioral considerations. The exact meaning can vary by facility, so it’s important to follow your local policy. In many practical settings, green is the color associated with “good to handle.”
