Pet Sizing & Info
Please always ensure your item is in good condition, especially with continued use. Use the items correctly and for their intended purpose only. If your pet shows signs of distress, discomfort or annoyance with the item, either remove or inspect for damage, fit, etc. As cute as they are, if your pet hates wearing bandanas, bowties, etc. don't make them wear them.
If you see a collar/bandana you would like but it's not available in the desired size, please get in touch and I'll accommodate as much as I can.
As everything is handmade, sizing may not always be consistent. It's recommended to pick a size range near the middle of your pet's size to allow room for growth - your dog has an 18" neck, so pick a size range like 16 - 21".
DOG COLLARS
All dog collars are made with plastic side release clasps. The smallest sizes are made 10mm or 15mm wide, all other sizes are 25mm or 40mm wide. I don't recommend 10mm for using with a lead as the hardware may not be strong enough. The thinner sizes are great for pups, small breeds or as ID tag collars.
MARTINGALES
Measurement a is to ensure the collar will fit over your dog’s head. The larger loop is adjustable and should be adjusted to fit your hound correctly. Pull the collar up just behind the dog’s ears when fitting, this is the point at which the collar could slip off the dog’s head. The two metal rectangles should be at least two inches apart from one another. Leave one to two fingers of room on the loop around the dog’s neck when the control loop is closed so that the collar isn’t too tight. Martingales can stretch and loosen over time so be sure to check the fitting regularly.
Martingales are not meant to be worn when not in use (walking). Due to their design, they can be a choking hazard when worn unattended.
All Martingale sizing is reflective of the collar completely relaxed. They are available 50mm, 40mm, 30mm or 25mm wide.
CAT COLLARS
All cat collars are made with a safety release clasp. They open when snagged on a branch, etc.
Standard size is 9 - 14"
Smaller or larger sizes are available upon request.
BANDANAS
Snap bandanas are made with plastic snap closures for ease of use. They usually start around 10" and go up to 22", each bandana size covering a few neck sizes, ex. size S fits 10-13". Smaller or larger sizes are available upon request. Extenders will also available if your desired size is unavailable or your pup/kitten has outgrown their size.
Due to them all being cut by hand and depending on the fabric, there will be differences in shape (straight triangle shape, triangle arched up to wings). A lot of big dog owners I've spoken to don't want a bandana that gets super long in the bigger sizes, so my bandanas usually reflect that also.
Slide on styles are great for pets that don't love something extra around their neck or if you don't know their size - great idea for gifts. These slip on over the collar.
TEES, COATS, PJS & HARNESSES
Unless it's a Ready To Ship item, all pet apparel is custom made to fit.
For tees, jumpers, pjs and tanktops, these detailed measurements are best.
For coats, dogs that hate being measured or owners with mobility issues, these ones will still give a good fit.
For harnesses, these measurements are required.
If you don't see a size, please get in touch. I'm always happy to make custom pieces or find a way to make something work for you.
WASHING CARE INFO
Everything, unless otherwise stated, is suitable to be machine washed up to 30'. Items should be hung to dry.
To protect hardware on collars, leads and more, handwashing is recommended.
