Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my dog for the bandana?

Measure around your dog's neck where the collar sits. S is 12-14″, M is 16-18″, L is 20-22″, XL is 24-26″. The bandana slides over the collar — no tying needed.

What fabric is best?

Quilting cotton is the easiest to sew and holds up well to dog activity. Flannel is great for winter. Avoid stretchy fabrics for the over-collar style.
