Dog bandana

Dog bandanas: 14 styles at a range of prices

A dog bandana is tied or clipped under your pet's head, for a walk, a photo or a party. The range brings together 14 styles: fabric triangles to tie, adjustable bandanas, reflective clip-on versions and smart occasion wear. Several work just as well on a dog as on a cat, so they suit other pets in the household too.

Tie-on bandanas

The simplest style: a triangle of fabric tied under the head.

• The checked bandana, washable, comes in three sizes: S (48 × 34 cm), M (60 × 42 cm) and L (70 × 48 cm). It's the largest in the range.
• The polka-dot scarf is light and breathable, according to its product page, and comes in fifteen shades, from khaki to peach, for dogs and cats of all sizes.
• The classic paisley bandana, in twelve shades, and the floral bandana in light polyester, to tie, in three colours – smart and comfortable.

A tie-on dog scarf adjusts to any build: just tie the knot tighter or looser to fit your pet's neck.

Adjustable bandanas, clip-on or tie

For a dog that's always on the move, an adjustable fastening stays put better than a simple knot:

• the adjustable triangle bandana – easy to put on and washable, in S (24-40 cm), M (29-45 cm) or L (33-53 cm);
• the adjustable clip-on bandana with colourful prints, in twelve on-trend designs: lemons, strawberries, leopard, cartoon;
• the cartoon bow bandana, in soft polyester, with a secure fastening, in S, M or L;
• the plain-colour bow bandana, in twelve shades, which its product page recommends for medium-sized dogs.

For walks at dusk, the reflective clip-on bandana is made of fluorescent polyester, in yellow, orange or a mushroom print, for necks of 26 to 36 cm (S), 30 to 48 cm (M) or 34 to 58 cm (L).

Parties, ceremonies and photos

Several bandanas are designed for special occasions. The tuxedo bandana with bow tie, in soft, adjustable polyester, dresses your dog up for a wedding or a photo shoot. The “Big Brother / Big Sister” bandana is made for baby announcements and weddings. The “Happy Birthday” set pairs an embroidered bandana with a matching pink hat, and the “Merry Christmas” bandana fits all sizes. For a more romantic look, the lace collar with bow adjusts from XS (15-20 cm) to XL (40-45 cm). Plenty of gift ideas for a four-legged friend.

Which bandana should you choose for your dog?

• Small dog or puppy – an adjustable fastening in size S, or a tie-on bandana you can tighten further.
• Medium dog – the plain-colour bow bandana, or size M in the adjustable versions.
• Large dog – the checked bandana in L (70 × 48 cm), or size L of the reflective bandana.
• Evening walks – the fluorescent clip-on bandana, alongside proper high-visibility gear.
• Wedding, Christmas, party – tuxedo, “Big Brother / Big Sister”, the “Happy Birthday” set or the Christmas bandana.
• Dog and cat at home – the polka-dot scarf, the triangle bandana and the “Happy Birthday” set work on both.

Finding the right size

Measure your dog's neck with a soft tape measure, where the collar sits, then compare with the sizes shown on each product page. For a tie-on bandana, allow enough length to make the knot. Once it's on, you should be able to slip two fingers under the fabric.

What to pair it with

A bandana layers over a seasonal outfit: a dog coat or a dog jumper in winter, dog boots for outings, a dog costume for a party. For a complete outfit, see our dog clothes, and for summer, our dog caps and dog cooling mat. Near water, a dog life jacket completes the kit.

For walks, add dog lead and dog harnesses. You'll find the other options in dog clothes. For everything else, it's all in our dog products.
