A little guidance

Help choosing dog bandanas

Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.

From our guides

This page is the bandana corner of our dog clothing range: reversible plaid bandanas, breed print and tweed bandanas, tuxedo bandanas with bow ties for weddings and parties, adjustable collar-style bandanas, knitted neck scarves, cooling mesh neck bands, and holiday bandanas for Halloween, Christmas, Easter and St Patrick's Day. It is for dogs who would rather not wear a full outfit but still want to look the part.

Bandana styles in this range

Classic triangle bandanas tie around the neck and come in reversible plaid, breed prints, tweed with pearl detail and plain cotton. Collar-style bandanas slide onto your dog's existing collar or attach with a buckle, so they cannot slip off or come untied on a walk.

Tuxedo bandanas with a bow tie are popular for weddings, photo shoots and parties, and knitted neck scarves add warmth in cooler months. A cooling mesh neck band is made to be soaked in water and worn on hot days.

Holiday and seasonal bandanas

Bandanas are the easiest way to dress a dog for a holiday, because most dogs hardly notice them. The range includes Halloween designs, including a bulk pack for groups and events, Christmas prints, tartan and reindeer designs and festive pom-pom styles, Easter bandanas with bunnies and eggs, and double-sided St Patrick's Day bandanas.

The ASPCA suggests a festive bandana as a simple alternative when a dog does not enjoy a full costume, which makes these a good choice for nervous dogs, parties and family photos when the season comes around.

How to size a dog bandana

Measure your dog's neck where a collar sits with a soft tape, and add a couple of inches for tying. Bandanas are usually sold by neck size or as small, medium and large. A tie bandana should sit loosely enough that you can slide two fingers underneath.

For collar-style bandanas, check the width of the slot against your dog's collar, and check the buckle size for adjustable designs. Small breed and cat sizes are listed separately where available.

Wearing a bandana safely

Tie bandanas with a simple knot that you can undo quickly, and never so tight that they press on the throat. Take them off when your dog is unsupervised or in a crate, since a loose fabric end can catch on crate wire or furniture.

Check for chewing. Some dogs, and many puppies, will chew a bandana off a housemate. Remove any with loose threads, pompoms coming away or chewed edges. Collar-style bandanas avoid knots altogether.

Washing and care

Cotton bandanas wash with ordinary laundry; turn reversible ones inside out and wash on cold to keep the colors bright. Knitted scarves and tweed pieces are better washed by hand and dried flat.

For a cooling neck band, soak it in cool water and wring it out before putting it on, and re-wet it as it dries. It helps on warm walks, but it does not replace shade, water and limiting exercise in the heat.

How do I measure my dog for a bandana?

Measure around the neck where the collar sits and add a couple of inches for the knot. You should be able to slide two fingers under the tied bandana.

Are bandanas safe for dogs?

Yes, worn loosely and with supervision. Remove them when your dog is crated or alone, and check for chewing or loose threads.

What is an over-the-collar bandana?

It has a slot that your dog's collar slides through, so it stays in place without a knot and cannot come untied.

Do cooling bandanas work for dogs?

A wet cooling bandana can help on warm walks, but it is not enough on its own. Shade, water and shorter walks in the heat matter more.

Can cats wear these bandanas?

Some small sizes are designed for cats and small dogs. Choose an adjustable or breakaway style, and remove it if your cat seems bothered.
