FAQs - Dog Bandanas: Collar Slipcover and Scrunchie Bandanas

What are Collar Slipcover Bandanas?

Collar Slipcover Bandanas are worn over your pet's existing buckle style collar so that you can change the look without changing collars. To wear the slipcover, thread your pet's collar through the casing at the top. On the end near the buckle is a buttonhole opening for the leash loop/D-ring and tags to slide through so that the entire collar is covered. This also helps to prevent the slipcover from sliding around on the collar. Sorry, our bandanas are not compatible with martingale-style collars.

What are Scrunchie Bandanas?

Scrunchie Bandanas have elastic necks and do NOT attach to the collar, so are great for pets who wear harnesses instead of collars. They stretch to about 1.5 times the neck size of your pet to easily slip over the head.

What are the bandanas made of?

Most are made of 100% cotton quilting weight fabric, some are made of cotton/metallic blend fabrics. Unless otherwise noted, they are machine washable and tumble dry. 

What Size should I order?

My bandana sizes are unique! Size is based on your pet's actual measurements, not on breed or weight ranges.

Sizing for both Collar Slipcover and Scrunchie Bandanas is based on two measurements:

1. The drop height, measured vertically from the top edge down to the point of the bandana
2. Your dog's actual neck circumference or collar length

I have several basic sizes that I use for Ready to Ship bandanas, but since dogs come in different shapes, heights and body types, the drop height and neck size can be mixed and matched for Made to Order bandanas that custom fit your pet. Our bandanas can be custom ordered with neck sizes up to 24 inches.

• XSmall - 4.5 inch drop x 12 inches long (length refers to Collar Slipcover style)
• Small - 5 inch drop x 14 inches long
• Medium - 6 inch drop x 16 inches long
• Large - 7 inch drop x 17 inches long
• XLarge - 8 inch drop x 18+ inches long

For Collar Slipcover Bandanas, the casing length is usually 1-2 inches longer than your dog's collar for wearing ease. For example, a 12 inch casing fits a 10 inch long collar. When ordering custom sized bandanas, enter your pet's actual collar length. Please be sure to let me know if your pet's collar hardware is wider than 1 inch so I can properly size the casing for Collar Slipcover Bandanas

Scrunchie Bandanas are made in the same drop heights as the Collar Slipcover style above, with your pet's actual neck circumference (plus 1/2 to 1 inch for ease) instead of length.

If you have a favorite bandana that fits your dog nicely, send me the measurements and I will do my best to make a similar size for you.

Most of my samples are made to fit my dogs, who are my models. Our sample size is Medium.

Custom Orders

We are closing down our shop beginning in 2019; sorry no custom orders are being accepted

NEW in 2017! Personalize your bandana by adding your pet's name in embroidery!
This option is available on selected bandanas when the fabric design and fiber content will support machine embroidery. Thread color, font style and placement will coordinate with the fabric design and bandana size so that it will enhance the appearance of the bandana. If you would like a particular color, font or design placement, please add a note at checkout or contact me in advance.

What other Collar Slipcover styles are available?

There are 4 basic collar slipcover styles available from SewAmazin: Straight, Ric Rac, Scallop/Ruffle and Bandana. There are minor variations of each style to add embellishments such as trim and machine embroidery. Pricing varies by style and fabric choice. These collar slipcover patterns are based on designs by Penny Sanford Designs (http://pennysanford.typepad.com/) and are sold with her permission. Collar slipcovers (other than bandanas) are made upon request.

How much of my purchase goes to help rescue?

I donate 10% of the sales price for each bandana to various local Westie rescue organizations (2019).
