Hover to zoomSize guide & how to measure
Collars are sized by the neck girth — the measurement around the base of the neck where the collar will sit.
How to measure
- Wrap a soft tape around the base of the neck.
- Add room for two fingers between the tape and the neck.
- Use that measurement to pick a size whose range it falls within.
| Size | Typical neck girth | Rough guide |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 20–28 cm | Toy breeds, kittens |
| S | 26–36 cm | Small dogs |
| M | 34–48 cm | Medium dogs |
| L | 46–60 cm | Large dogs |
| XL | 58–72 cm | Giant breeds |
Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.
Full description
Most festive bows have to be threaded onto a collar you already own, and then work their way loose halfway through the afternoon. This is the collar itself — a 1cm band with the bow built in — so it goes straight on and there is nothing separate to slide round to the back of the neck. The narrow band and the 18 to 28cm size make it a cat and small dog collar; a labrador's neck is roughly twice that.
There are eleven designs and they split neatly into two moods. Four are printed: a Christmas tree with a black button, a snowflake, a Santa Claus and a garland. The other seven are plain bows in red, green, pink, navy blue, blue, white and beige, which is the option to take if you would rather it carried on being worn in January without looking out of season. Polyester holds a printed pattern well and does not fray at a cut edge the way woven ribbon can.
- Band 1cm wide, sized 18cm to 28cm

- Four printed designs: Christmas tree with black button, snowflake, Santa Claus, garland
- Seven plain bow colours: red, green, pink, navy blue, blue, white, beige

On fit and safety. More importantly, no quick-release safety buckle is specified, and cats need one on anything worn outdoors. Treat this as an indoor, supervised collar, adjusted to admit two fingers flat.
Who it's for: Cats and small dogs with a neck between 18 and 28cm, and owners who would rather buy one collar than a bow plus a collar to hang it on.

Why we chose it
Most festive bows have to be threaded onto a collar you already own and then work loose halfway through the afternoon. Here the bow is built into the band, so nothing separate slides round to the back. Eighteen to 28cm.
