Tie-On Bandanas
Tie-on bandanas give you the most adjustment room. They are great for dogs between sizes, puppies still growing, or anyone who wants a more forgiving fit.

Dog Bandana Sizing Guide
How to measure your dog’s neck and get the fit right without guessing.
Quick fit rule
Measure at the base of the neck. Add room based on the style.
Tie-on: add 1–2 inches.
Snap-on: add ½ inch.
Between sizes: size up.
Step 01
Measure Your Dog’s Neck
Wrap a soft measuring tape around the base of your dog’s neck, right where a collar would sit. Keep it snug, not tight. You should be able to slide two fingers underneath comfortably.
Step 02
Add Some Room
For tie-on bandanas, add 1 to 2 inches so you have enough length to tie a knot. For snap-on styles, add about half an inch for a closer collar fit.

Tie-On vs. Snap-On
Snap-On Bandanas
Snap-on bandanas attach directly to the collar. They are quick to put on and less likely to move, but the sizing needs to be more precise.

A Few Things That Affect the Fit
Coat thickness: fluffy dogs may need an extra half inch.
Collar width: very wide collars can affect snap-on fit.
Puppies: size up or choose tie-on for more adjustment.
