Meet the most patriotic dogs in Britain! Pooches dress up in red, white and blue

It’s not just humans joining in the coronation action as we prepare for the coronation of their majesties the king and queen.

Pets across the country don their red, white and blue happy rags to celebrate the coronation.

Dogs and coronations have a long history. Queen Victoria, a devoted dog owner, reportedly bathed her dogs before her own coronation in 1838.

Coronation visitors have been warned by vets to be careful when taking their dogs to places with large crowds, which can cause stress for their pets.

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home shared photos of some residents looking ‘extra proud’ ahead of the start of the coronation ceremony.

Veterinarians warned coronation celebrants not to make an easy mistake if they decide to take their dogs to street parties or to watch the procession in central London.

Dogs can easily become overwhelmed in large crowds, which can cause behavioral problems even in well-trained dogs.

Vets said unless the pet is a service or service animal, it’s best to leave them at home where they feel safe.

But that shouldn’t stop pet owners from enjoying Coronation Day with their dogs, as photos posted on social media show.
