It has been a time of tumult and change for nearly all of us over the last several months.
Our routines have bee forced to change, our habits altered and our past times rendered impossible by social distancing and lockdown measures.
Yet, as many societies begin the long, difficult process of reopening their economies, we're beginning to venture out and about with more regularity.
Credit: 556One measure that governments are putting in place is the recommendation (or in some cases, hard rule) to wear a facemask. In England, there are several settings where it is now a requirement to wear a face covering - on public transport and in shops, for example.
And so, people have began buying stylish, branded face coverings in some cases, preparing for a long stint of being required to wear one.
Now, one Etsy business is offering matching face masks and bandannas for you and your dog. Of course, it should be noted that the dog should not be wearing an actual face mask, which is why they are presented with the bandanna option.
The masks and bandannas come in a range of styles, from a mini mouse-style print, to a pride-themed rainbow print. There's even an option to have your new gear personalized with yours or your dog's initials.

And reviews of the products thus far have been effusive. One happy customer wrote, "Love the bandanas! Shipped and delivered faster than expected! Great quality and looks adorable on my pups. Going to order more!"
