How to Measure Your Dog's Neck for the Perfect Fit

Ensuring the right fit for your dog's bandana is essential for their comfort and safety. Here's a simple guide to measuring your dog's neck accurately:

Gather Materials: You'll need a soft tape measure or a piece of string to measure your dog's neck.

Positioning: Place the tape measure or string around your dog's neck where their collar would typically sit. Make sure it's not too tight or too loose, allowing for comfortable movement.

Looseness Check: Slide two fingers between your dog's neck and the measuring tape or string. This creates a bit of extra space for comfort and ensures the bandana won't be too snug.

Measurement: Take note of the measurement indicated by the tape measure or mark the length of the string. This measurement represents the circumference of your dog's neck.

Selecting the Bandana Size: Once you have the neck measurement, refer to our sizing chart to determine the appropriate bandana size for your dog. Typically, you'll want to choose a bandana size that is slightly larger than your dog's neck measurement to ensure a comfortable fit.

Consider Your Dog's Comfort: Keep in mind your dog's breed, fur thickness, and any other factors that might affect how the bandana fits. It's better to opt for a slightly looser fit than a tight one.

By following these steps, you can accurately measure your dog's neck for the perfect bandana fit. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to me. I'm here to help ensure your dog looks and feels great in their new bandana!

Care Instructions for Bandanas:

To ensure your bandana stays in great condition, please follow these care instructions:

Washing: All of my bandanas are machine washable for your convenience. Use cold water and a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric and colors.

Drying: Due to the presence of rivets and studs on some designs, I recommend laying the bandanas flat to air dry. This will help maintain the integrity of the embellishments and prevent any damage that could occur in the dryer.

Shrinking: Please note that all of my cotton designs may experience slight shrinkage after washing. If your dog tends to get dirty often and you anticipate frequent washes, I recommend sizing up to accommodate any potential shrinkage.

By following these care instructions, you can keep your bandanas looking vibrant for many adventures to come. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

As a pet owner, the safety and well-being of your furry little bestie is paramount. Please take note of the following safety instructions when using our handmade bandanas:

Supervision: Always supervise your pet when they are wearing any pet bandana. This is especially important during initial wear to ensure they do not become entangled or ingest any part of the bandana.

Remove During Playtime: It is recommended to take off the bandana during active playtime or when engaging in activities where the bandana could pose a hazard. This reduces the risk of the bandana getting caught on objects or causing discomfort to your pet.

Unattended Pets: When your pet is left unattended, please remove the bandana. This helps prevent any accidents or unintended situations that may arise in your absence.

Pet Suitability: As a pet owner, it is your responsibility to determine if the bandana is suitable for your pet's size, behavior, and any specific needs they may have. If you have any doubts about the suitability of the bandana for your pet, consult with a veterinarian or pet care professional.

Buyer Responsibility: Buyers are responsible for the safe use of this product. Please ensure that the bandana fits securely but comfortably on your pet and regularly check for any signs of wear or damage.

By adhering to these safety instructions, you can help ensure a positive and safe experience for you and your pet. If you have any further questions or concerns about the safety of our bandanas, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your pet's safety is our top priority.
