Different types of pet signs

Name plates

A common type of pet sign in households with pets is the name plate. A rabbit sign on a rabbit hutch or a dog tag attached to a dog’s collar are examples of these. 

Warning

If you want to warn road users that there may be animals near or on the road, you can create a pet sign inspired by the types of warning signs used in traffic. These are often triangular with a yellow background, red border and a black silhouette of the animal in question. This is probably the most effective warning sign for getting road users to pay extra attention to animals.

In some countries, it is more common to have a square yellow sign tilted at 45 degrees. A silhouette of the animal on the sign informs drivers what animal to keep an eye out for.

Animal signs with a warning message are also common on gates to farms where animals are loose. The most common of these are ’beware of the dog’ signs, although there are a number of other variations on this text. 

Prohibition signs

In some cases, animals are not welcome. This could be due to anything from allergies and hygiene rules, to a fear of cats or dogs. Normally, signs are used to show that dogs are not permitted in certain premises, even though this is synonymous with the premises being completely animal-free.
