Wear Lime For Lyme Day on Friday 1st May 2026 marked the start of Lyme Disease Awareness Month!
A big thank you to everyone who joined in with their pets to celebrate by dressing in lime green! Thank you also to everyone who encouraged their office, school, or hobby group to take part too!
We offer a wide range of green clothing options in our LDUK online shop so you can continue to raise awareness of Lyme disease throughout May and beyond!
We’ve also listed some ideas for dogs and other pets below! If wearing green just isn’t for you, our lapel pins, Be Tick Aware mugs and other accessories make great treats and allow you to show your support.
T-Shirts
Why not buy one of our T-shirts as a simple way to Wear Lime For Lyme? We’d love for you to send us your photos to share on our website and social media channels.
Our stylish tees come in a variety of sizes so everyone can join in! They can be a great conversation starter and the perfect way to help promote the risks of tick bites and Lyme disease to others.
Dogs
We know many of you are devoted dog lovers! Our Be Tick Aware dog bandanas can also prompt important conversations about Lyme disease, and are a simple and stylish way for your pup to help raise awareness wherever they go!
Dogs can easily pick up ticks, increasing their owners’ risk of a tick bite. In a 2015 study by the University of Bristol, the Big Tick Project found that one in three dogs checked at random during a vet visit was carrying a tick.
Grab a bargain! Our dog bandanas cost just £6.99 each, plus £2.49 postage for up to three bandanas.
Available in three sizes, our bandanas are suitable for tiny pups to giant breeds, although the regular size fits most dogs. Simply fold over and tie comfortably around your dog’s neck for the perfect fit.
Made from a lightweight cotton/polyester blend, the fabric drapes easily and should be comfortable for your pet. Each bandana is machine washable, fully hemmed, and comes neatly packed in a protective cellophane wrapper.
Other Pets
There’s a great range of lime green accessories available online for other pets also, including collars, bow ties and jumpers! So proud owners of cats, horses, tortoises, or any other well-loved pets can show their support too!
Help raise awareness by sharing your photos on your own social media channels with the hashtags:
- #WearLimeForLyme
- #BeTickAware
- #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth
