If your dog doesn't love full costumes, a bandana is the easy win: quick to put on, easy to swap and instantly photo-ready. The catch is picking the right dog bandana size so it looks good and stays comfortable.
How to choose the right size
Our bandanas come in three sizes:
- S: 14 x 5.5 inches
- M: 16 x 7.5 inches
- L: 18 x 9.5 inches
Measure around your dog's neck where a collar would sit and check the size options. If your dog has a thick ruff or fluffy coat, the next size up is often more comfortable.
Styles to pick from
- Elderberry Floral Dog Bandana for a soft, colorful look
- Wayfarer Sage Dog Bandana for a calm, earthy tone
- Chambray Classic Dog Bandana for a timeless denim-style feel
- Sunset Stripe Dog Bandana in a linen construction with a warm, striped design
Wearing a bandana safely
- Fit it snugly, but you should be able to slide two fingers underneath.
- Keep it out of your dog's mouth and away from chewing.
- Remove it when unsupervised, during sleep or in the crate.
- Wash it regularly so it stays fresh.
When a bandana beats a costume
Some dogs tolerate a light neck accessory much better than a full outfit. It's perfect for seasonal photos, birthdays and everyday walks. Not sure your dog will accept clothing? Start here, then read our costume safety checklist.
FAQ
Can my dog wear a bandana every day? Many do, as long as it's comfortable, clean and supervised. Take it off if you see rubbing or irritation.
Can I use it on walks after dark? A bandana is not a safety light. See our night walking tips for visibility gear.
