How to Measure
Measuring Your Pup’s Neck
- Loosely Measure: Use a soft measuring tape to measure the lowest part of your dog’s neck, including any fluff.
- Add Extra Inches: We recommend adding 1-2 inches for extra floofy friends. For example, if your dog's neck measures 11", you might add 2" if they have a lot of fluff, making the total 13".
- Comfortable Fit: Hold the tape measure in the same fashion you want the bandana to fit—comfortably loose, not tight or restrictive. You should be able to slide two fingers between the bandana and your dog’s neck.
Sizing Tips
- Size Up: If you’re unsure or your pet has a fluffy neck, it’s better to size up. A slightly oversized bandana is safer and more comfortable than one too small.
- Folding: For the best fit, fold your bandana at least once. This helps adjust the height and ensures a secure fit.
- Custom Sizes: Custom sizes are available upon request to ensure the perfect fit for your pup.
Examples
- Fluffy Dog: For a poodle mix with a collar size of 11", a bandana size of 13" might be needed due to extra fluff, resulting in a size S instead of XS.
- Short-Haired Dog: A size L would fit perfectly for a short-haired dog like a black lab with a neck measurement of 16".

Final Tips
- Two-Finger Rule: Leave enough room to slide two fingers between the bandana and your dog’s neck.
- Check for Adjustments: If your pup’s neck size is at the recommended cut-off, size up and adjust the fit by folding the top down as needed.
- When in Doubt: If you’re unsure of your pet’s size, between sizes, or your pet has a fluffy neck, order a size up. Bandanas can easily be rolled to customize the height and fit.
By following these guidelines, you'll ensure your pup's bandana fits comfortably and looks pawsitively stylish!
