Any dog worth its salt is likely to growl or back away when they see a white lab coat, so maybe that is why our vet wears a blue one.The days when medical staff dressed to intimidate their patients are long gone.  These days they try to look friendly and approachable, for example the surgeon who performed Mum’s laser eye surgery wears a disposable hat decorated with furry animals! At the time she did not think to ask where it came from, she was far too nervous about the impending surgery.  But she said it helped create a relaxing atmosphere.
