How To: Pick the Perfect Bandana Size

Whether you're suiting up your adventure cat or pup, finding the perfect bandana fit is the first step to nailing that signature Scout's Honour look.

Our tie-on bandanas are designed for comfort, style, and self-expression - with the option to add your pet’s own collection of merit badges.

Here's everything you need to know to choose the right size for your pet, plus how many badges each one can hold.

How Our Bandanas Fit

All Scouts Honour bandanas are tie-on style, meaning you simply knot them around your pet's neck - no snaps or buckles needed. This flexible fit allows you to go up a size if you're unsure. Just roll the top edge of the bandana before tying for a shorter look. This makes it especially versatile for growing puppies or floofy breeds.

How to Measure Your Dog for a Bandana

Getting the right fit starts with a simple measurement. Here’s how to measure your pet’s neck to choose the perfect bandana size:

Step 1: Grab a Soft Tape Measure
Use a flexible measuring tape (or a piece of string you can later measure with a ruler) to wrap around the base of your pet’s neck where a collar would normally sit.
Step 2: Check the Fit
Make sure it’s snug but not tight. You should be able to comfortably slide two fingers between the tape and your pet’s neck.
Step 3: Match it to our chart
Check your measurements against our guide below to determine the right fit.

Still Not Sure? Size Up!

Because our bandanas are tie-on style, you can always size up and roll the top edge down for a more custom look. This also helps adjust the length of the drop (the triangle point) for smaller pets or shorter styles.
