Ribbon

Ribbons (DS)/Bows (3DS) are accessories that go onto a dog's neck or ears. The location of the ribbon or bow on the dog depends on the shape of the dog's ears. If the dog has ears that flop down (such as a Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Dachshund, or Cavalier Spaniel), there will be two ribbons or bows, one on each ear. If the dog has ears that point up (such as a Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Boxer, or Husky), there will be one ribbon or bow that appears on the dog's neck, like a bow tie. Unlike other things, each ribbon has their own description.

Nintendogs

Most ribbons are found on walks, though the Red Ribbon and the Yellow Ribbon can be bought at the Pet Supply. All ribbons are available in all versions of the game.

Nintendogs + Cats

Unlike Nintendogs, ribbons (now called Bows) are unlocked by gaining Owner Points, when they will then become available in Coletta or the various different BARC stores, though they can still be found on walks too.
