Bandanas

Everyday styles like the Breed Print Triangle Pet Bandana and the Plaid Pet Bandana with Pink Bow are simple, lightweight cotton pieces meant for regular wear, while the Gingham Pet Bandana with Plush Bone adds a small attached decoration for a bit more character. Seasonal designs, including the Christmas Bandana Collar for Dogs and Cats, are sized specifically to fit around the neck like a collar rather than being tied.

Most of the range is aimed at dogs, but several styles, including a few Christmas designs, are made to fit cats too, so check the sizing description rather than assuming a product is dog-only from the photo.

A tie-style bandana should sit loosely enough to slip two fingers underneath, with the knot away from the throat, so it can't tighten if your dog pulls at it or catches it on something. Collar-style bandanas, which fasten like a normal collar, tend to stay in place better for an active dog and are worth choosing if your dog spends a lot of time playing or pulling at their own accessories.

Measure your dog's neck the same way you would for a collar if the listing gives a size range, rather than guessing from their overall size — a deep-chested but narrow-necked breed can need a size up or down from what you'd expect.

Never leave a tied bandana on an unsupervised dog for long stretches, particularly one who likes to chew or dig at their own neck, since a loose tie can become a strangulation risk if it snags on something. A collar-style fastening removes most of that risk and is the safer choice for a dog left alone in a crate or garden while wearing one.

Wash cotton bandanas regularly the same as any fabric accessory, and check ties and poppers periodically for wear, especially on a dog who's rough with their own accessories during play.
