The Complete Guide to Dog Bandana sizes

Why you should choose the right size for your dog

The wrong size of dog bandanas can cause many problems. If it is too small, it will strangle the dog’s neck, making it uncomfortable and even affecting its breathing; if it is too large, it will easily slip off or get stuck in the legs, affecting activities and may also bring safety hazards.

The dog’s bandana is not only for decoration, but also for sweat absorption and sun protection when going out.

There are two reasons for choosing dog bandanas: one is the dog’s weight and the other is the dog’s neck size. Whether you buy it for your own dog or give it as a gift to your friend’s pet, this article will use complete guidance details to help you choose the most suitable dog bandana size.

How to measure a dog’s neck size

If you want to choose according to the size of your dog’s neck, then your first step is to measure the size of your dog’s neck correctly. Take a soft ruler and wrap it around the thickest part of the dog’s neck. Don’t be too tight against the skin, but leave a gap of one finger, so that it won’t be too tight and uncomfortable. 

If you don’t have a soft ruler at home, you can use a rope or cloth strip to measure first, and then use a ruler to measure the length. After measuring, record the numbers and refer to the brand size chart to choose the most suitable headscarf 

Remember that different brands may have different sizes, so it is recommended to re-measure before each purchase, especially when the dog is still growing. Correct measurement is the key to choosing the right size for your dog to wear comfortably and look good. 

How to weigh your dog

If it is inconvenient to measure the dog’s neck size outside or in other situations, weight can also be used as a reference standard. Many brands will also provide size recommendations based on weight. 

You can use a home scale to weigh the dog. First stand on it and write down the weight, then hold the dog and weigh it together, and then subtract your own weight to know the actual weight of the dog. If the dog is relatively large, you can take it to a pet hospital or pet store and use a special scale. 

Although weight is not the most accurate method of judgment, it is suitable for you to quickly judge the approximate size when you make a first purchase or give a gift. For a more accurate match, it is recommended to refer to the neck circumference measurement.

FAQ?

1. What if your dog is between two sizes?

When your dog’s size or neck circumference is just between two sizes, we recommend that you choose a bandana that is one size larger. This will make it more comfortable to wear, not too tight, and not constricting the neck. If you are not sure, you can contact us and we can customize the size according to your needs so that your dog can wear it just right.

2. Will it shrink after washing?

Our dog bandanas are made of high-quality pure cotton or blended materials, which are pre-shrunk and will not shrink significantly after normal washing. You can hand wash or use cold water to wash gently and dry naturally. If you have special material requirements, we can also customize fabrics and styles.

3. What if your dog doesn’t like to wear a scarf?

Some dogs are more sensitive to new things at first. You can try it for a short time first and gradually let your dog adapt.
