A scarf is the gentlest way into dressing a pet up. Nothing goes over the head, nothing wraps around a leg, and it comes off again in one movement the moment your dog or cat decides they have had enough. That is why a bandana-style triangle is usually where owners of anxious pets end up after one bad experience with a full outfit.

This is a double-layer triangle rather than a single thickness, so it hangs properly instead of curling up at the point, and it is finished with a lace trim along the edge for something a little dressier than a plain printed square. There are three designs to choose between: a purple letter tie, a black ghost tie and a black skull tie. It ties at the neck, so the fit adjusts to the animal rather than depending on a size chart being right.

• Double-layer triangle scarf with a lace trim
• Ties at the neck, so it adjusts to fit
• Three designs: purple letter, black ghost and black skull
• Nothing goes over the head or around the legs
• Comes off again in a single movement
• Shipped tracked to the UK, typically 7 to 12 days

On fit and on wear. Tie it as you would fit a collar, snug, with two fingers sliding underneath easily, and never leave it on an unattended pet, overnight, or during rough play, because a knotted scarf is exactly the sort of thing that catches on a fence post.

Who it's for: Nervous or costume-averse dogs and cats, and owners who want a seasonal photograph without putting their pet through a whole outfit.
