Accessorize With Fashionable Dog Bandanas

By Frances Keith


To many animal owners, their animals are far more than merely pets, they are friends, family and loyal companions. Some pups become so human that their owners like to dress them up in cute little clothes designed especially for those of the four legged persuasion. A complete outfit may be just the thing for special occasions but when it comes to everyday wear, dog bandanas are the perfect accessory.

A bandanna is a type of scarf that is worn around the neck and adds a bit of pizazz to one's overall look. Their designs range from very simple to extremely detailed, which means there is something available for every taste, mood or occasion. They are easily tailored to match any personal preference and wearing one can make any pooch stand out in a crowd.

The choices available for this accessory are virtually endless. Available in basic square shapes or in triangles, each one will have edges that have been finished as a way of preventing fraying from chewing and scratching. They can also be worn in several different positions in order to convey a varied look.

There are a number of various ways in which they can be placed around the dog's neck such as the traditionally tied knot or via snaps that make it quick and easy to put it on or take it off. They may also be found with a loose elastic band inside the hemming which permits it to be slipped over the pet's head. For a more versatile performance, one may even purchase a bandanna which has been attached directly to a collar and buckles on to hold tags and connect to a leash.

The scarves can be found in a vast range of sizes from 6" to 36" so that every dog will be able to wear them, from teacup to massive canines. The positions in which they are worn, in the front, down the back or off to the side, can be adjusted according to preference. This is the accessory of choice for all the best dressed pets.

The available design possibilities are so infinite that it is impossible to list them all. They may be printed in just about any pattern imaginable and in virtually all shades in the spectrum. Special designs like superhero capes, shirt fronts and embroidered names are just a few of the many ways a pooch's neck wear may be used to let others know a bit about their personality.

Able to be made from cotton, nylon, silk, chiffon or mesh, the materials are as versatile as the designs. Not only are they great for everyday wear but with all the possible options, they are also perfect to celebrate holidays and special occasions, show support for a particular cause or sports team, or even to simply make a statement. Some companies have even manufactured scarves infused with insect repellents to protect pets from the likes of ticks, fleas and mosquitoes.

These highly versatile dog bandanas may be worn simply as a splash of color or a super bedazzled accessory intended to turn heads. Every pooch, from the pampered pup who never steps foot on the grass to the rugged canine who craves the great outdoors can wear these scarves and look fabulous doing so. There is something for all preferences, tastes and passions.
