How to Choose The Right Bandana Size For Your Dog

How to Choose The Right Bandana Size For Your Dog

Size Guide for Handmade Crochet Pet Bandanas will help you choose the best size for your dog's neck. 

Our handmade crochet bandanas come in four adjustable sizes. Each one is designed to be soft, comfortable, and easy to tie. Use the guide below to choose the best fit for your furry friend.

How to Measure Your Dog’s Neck

To find the right size, follow these simple steps:

  1.  Use a soft tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.
  2. Wrap it gently around your dog’s neck, where their collar would naturally sit. Not too tight, and not too loose.
  3. Add 1–2 cm (or about half an inch) for comfort and wiggle room.
  4. Compare your measurement to the sizes below.
