Anything that ties around a neck adds a second thing to check the tightness of. Anything that slides onto the collar already there does not. That is the practical argument for this style of scarf: the collar carries it, the fit is whatever your collar's fit already is, and there is no extra knot sitting under the chin to work loose or tighten up over an afternoon.

The scarf is a printed fabric triangle with a channel along the top edge that the collar threads through, so it hangs flat against the chest and stays centred as your pet moves. Three skull print styles are offered. Because it comes off simply by unbuckling the collar and sliding it free, it is easy to swap for the season or to wash without unpicking anything, and there is no hardware to rust or jingle.

• Slides onto an existing collar through a channel at the top edge - Three skull print styles - No ties, buckles or additional fastenings - Hangs flat against the chest - Removed by unbuckling the collar and sliding it off

Two things worth knowing. You need a collar already, as none is supplied, and a very wide or very thick collar may not pass through the channel; standard flat collars are what this is designed around.

Who it's for: Owners who want a scarf without adding a second thing around their pet's neck.
