Quick answer
To get the right fit for a family matching pet bandana, measure your dog's neck circumference just above the shoulders, then add 2–3 inches for a comfortable tie. Use that number to select the size that matches your dog's neck range.
Why accurate sizing matters for your pet's comfort
A bandana that is too tight can restrict breathing or cause chafing, while one that is too loose may slip off or get caught on objects. Proper sizing ensures your dog stays comfortable and safe during holiday photos or outings.
Pet bandanas from Burt's Bees Baby are designed to be part of a family matching set, so getting your dog's size right means everyone—from baby to pup—can coordinate comfortably.
Understanding the size options
The Ski Slopes Family Matching Pet Bandana and Christmas Breakfast Family Matching Pet Bandana come in multiple sizes. Each size has a neck circumference range, so you'll need to measure your dog and then pick the size that includes that measurement.
Because these bandanas are part of a family matching set, the sizing is designed to work for dogs of various breeds and sizes, from small pups to larger dogs.
How to measure your dog for a pet bandana
- Gather your tools: You'll need a flexible measuring tape (like a sewing tape) or a piece of string and a ruler. Have a pen and paper ready to record the measurement. A cloth measuring tape is easiest, but string works if you don't have one.
- Measure the neck circumference: Wrap the tape around your dog's neck, just above the shoulders where a collar would sit. Keep it snug but not tight—you should be able to slide one finger between the tape and your dog's fur. Common mistake: measuring too high on the neck, near the ears. The bandana should sit at the base of the neck.
- Record the measurement: Note the number where the tape meets. If using string, mark the spot and measure against a ruler. Write down the measurement in inches. Double-check by measuring twice to ensure accuracy.
- Add room for tying: Add 2–3 inches to your dog's neck measurement. This extra length is needed to tie the bandana comfortably without it being too tight or too loose. For larger dogs, add 3 inches; for small dogs, 2 inches is usually enough.
- Select the right size: Compare your adjusted measurement to the size chart provided for the bandana. Choose the size where your dog's measurement falls within the neck circumference range. If your dog is between sizes, go with the larger size for a looser fit that can be adjusted.
