The Big Dog Accessories Debate - Is it the Dog Bow Tie or Dog Bandana?

The Big Dog Accessories Debate

Is it the Dog Bow Tie Or Dog Bandana?

With accessorising you furry friend, what is your go-to fashion statement piece? Do you tend to immediately think Bandana or bow tie?

It’s a real hard choice but you’d be interested to find that as the OG of dog styling, the dog bandanas are peoples first choice. Both dog bandana and dog bow ties are a great choice because there are tons of different patterns available however, bandanas are that something extra with being able to add your personalised touch.  Dog Bandanas can be customized or embroidered, and it’s super simple to change them up depending on the season, an upcoming holiday, or just whatever your style is that day!

Types Of Dog Bandanas

Over-the-Collar Bandana

The over-the-collar bandana seems like a good idea off the bat since it’s just one piece that is easily added to the collar. It’s minimalistic, easy on/off, and secure, which can be huge perks for some dog owners. There are also unfortunately some downfalls to this bandana.

This style of the bandana is still cute and the shoppers preferred go-to.

Pros

Very secure

Safely worn on the collar

Cons

Important to size correctly

Can scrunch up easily

Tie-On Bandana

This style is the oldest and simplest of them all. The versatility of the style of bandana is extremely appealing as it is the most adjustable bandana out there (although you should still choose a size that would best fit your pup or size up if between sizes). The ability to make the bandana smaller or larger just by adjusting where you tie the knot is a huge perk for owners of puppies who haven’t quite finished growing yet. The only downfall to this style is that it requires the owner to be able to tie/untie a knot which can be a difficult thing to do for some people, especially if the knot is too tight.

Pros

Versatile

Secure

Size is forgiving

Cute knot when tied

Cons

Requires the ability to tie a knot

Unable to be worn 24/7

Dog Bow Ties

The dog bow tie is any dog owners first choice of pet wear as it is an easy addition that can be easily added to the collar. It’s minimalistic, easy on/off, and secure, which can be huge perks for some dog owners. Sizing would be one issue to this bow tie however these days there are a variety of sizing options available to suit all sizes of dog breeds.

 Pros

Very secure

Safely worn on the collar

Cons

Important to size correctly

Overall, there are positive aspects to both dog bandanas and dog bow ties, but when really looking at the pros of them all, they are pretty much both the same. At the end of the day, it’s the parents and pups favourite that will win either way you can’t go wrong with versatility, security, and affordability of either a bandana or bow tie! Click Here to browse our current selection of bandanas and bow ties on our website!
