Adjustable Dog Bandana

A plain bandana in soft macaron colours, with a drawstring rather than a knot so it sits where you put it. Five sizes cover necks from 15 cm to 70 cm, which is everything from a small terrier to a very large dog.

Key features

• Drawstring fastening — adjusts properly rather than relying on a knot
• Five sizes covering 15 cm to 70 cm necks
• Four soft colours
• Doubles as a drool cloth on dogs that need one
• 40 g, machine washable

Size guide

Measure round your dog's neck where a collar sits, then pick the size whose range covers that measurement.

Specification

• Material: polyester
• Fastening: drawstring
• Weight: 40 g
• Colours: lotus pink, mustard green, taro purple, light blue

Wearing it safely

Leave room for two fingers between the drawstring and your dog's neck, and check it has not tightened after your dog has been rolling about. Take the bandana off when your dog is not supervised — a drawstring has no quick-release, so it can catch on a branch, a crate or a fence.

For the same reason this is a dog bandana rather than a cat one. Anything a cat wears round its neck should have a breakaway fastening, and a drawstring does not.

Care

Machine wash warm and air dry. Loosen the drawstring fully before washing.
