Dog Bandanas
Not one of these bandanas ties. The band is elastic: it goes over the head, past the ears, and settles on the collar line, so it cannot work its way loose the way a knot does.
More about these
Two faces, one bandana
Most of these are reversible, with a different colour or print on the back. It is the cheapest way to own two. The star bandanas are the exception and have one face only; the listings say which is which.
What decides the size
The neck, in centimetres. Five sizes, covering necks from 22 cm to 63 cm. The size guide carries the full table and the neck measurements of most breeds, which is useful if the dog will not stand still for a tape.
The writing
Embroidered, never printed, so it will not crack or peel in the wash. A plain ground carries a long line; a busy print carries one word well and three badly. Made in Prague, one at a time, after you have ordered it.
Questions
Questions I get asked
How do I measure my dog?
One number, and it is the neck rather than the head: lay the tape low round the neck, where the collar already sits, and read it off there. The sizes run from 22 cm to 63 cm round. The band pulls on over the head on a covered elastic, so it has to clear the skull before it settles on that line — between two sizes, take the larger one.
Is it safe on a walk?
On the cap a cord runs through the folded back edge, so it draws in to the head. The bandana pulls on over the head on a covered elastic band, so there is nothing to tie. None of it is a collar, a harness or a lead — leave the real collar on underneath, and take the hat off when the dog is left alone.
Can I write on all three, and how long can the line be?
All three take stitching, and it is free however many pieces carry writing. There is no letter limit: a longer line is set smaller so that it still fits the panel it is stitched on. Letters, numbers and spaces are all fine, and I stitch exactly what you type.
I typed it wrong. Can you change it?
If nothing has been cut yet, yes — reply to your order confirmation; your line is printed on it. Once the needle has been through the cloth, no: thread does not come out without leaving the holes behind. It is stitched exactly as you type it, so a typo copied faithfully is not a fault. Read it twice before you pay.
What will you not stitch?
No slurs, nobody else’s brand, nothing threatening, nothing sexual and nobody’s name but your dog’s. It is a dog. I cannot read it, so I am not the one deciding — there is a list, and every line is checked against it. Fail it and you get an email and the full amount back the same day, not a quietly softened version of itself.
When will it arrive?
Ready in 1–3 working days, counted from the order landing. Nothing here is made before it is asked for and nothing is held in stock, so there is no shelf to pull from. After that the date belongs to the post, not to me — I do not print an arrival date, and the carrier’s own estimate is at checkout.
Where do you ship, and what does it cost?
Across the European Union, out of Prague, tracked. One parcel however many pieces are in the order. What it costs is on the Shipping policy page, listed by country, and the checkout confirms it against the country you pick.
What if it does not fit when it arrives?
Anything with nothing written on it comes back: tell me within 14 days of it arriving and post it back unworn, with the tag on. You pay that postage. Once it carries your words it cannot come back for a change of mind — nobody else asked for that line, and EU law allows that only because you are told before you pay, which is what this is. Faulty is different, written on or not: I remake it or refund you, and that postage is mine both ways.
