Though most couples tend to designate cute human relatives to fill the role of “ring bearer”, some believe that the only young face they need in the wedding party is covered in fur. A canine ring pillow allows you to designate that most honorable of wedding party tasks to the friend you can always count on – your dog. The difference between a normal ring box or pillow and a canine ring pillow is the fastening mechanism. While young children have to hold a normal ring pillow, a canine ring pillow either fastens to a dog’s collar or has a long enough ribbon that your dog won’t have to hold on to anything.
Pooches of any size can enjoy the convenience of a canine ring pillow; just make sure they’re sized correctly. Take the measurements of a canine ring pillow and try to visualize how it will look attached to your dog on your wedding day. Smaller dogs may be dwarfed by a canine ring pillow that is too large, and sliding may be hard to avoid if it’s heavy around your dog’s neck.
Be sure to designate a bridesmaid or groomsman to be the dog’s handler for the day. You may think that you can keep track of your dog before and after he walks down the aisle, but the last thing you want is your canine ring pillow wrecking havoc through the pews!
