Best Bandanas for Your Furry Friend
Design and Material
The Joe Bartolozzi bandana features a repeat pattern of his signature catchphrases on a soft cotton-polyester blend. It's printed with water-based inks that hold up after dozens of washes. I've tested three bandanas from the current collection, and none faded after a month of weekly washes.
Sizing and Fit
Bandanas come in two sizes:
- Small/Medium: Neck up to 16 inches (fits most beagles, Frenchies)
- Large/XL: Neck up to 24 inches (Golden Retrievers, Labs)
Each bandana has a 1.5-inch tie tail that makes knotting easy even with a wiggly dog. Pro tip: fold it into a triangle, roll the long edge, then tie. Stays put during fetch.
Matching Your Dog with Your Own Merch
The Matching Duo
Nothing beats walking your pup while wearing the same print. The Matching Tee Duo includes a human tee and a dog tee that feature identical artwork - a distressed Joe Bartolozzi logo with a paw print overlay.
Human tees are heavy 6 oz cotton. Dog tees have a shorter torso and wider neck hole to slide over heads without struggle. Sizes from XS to 2XL for humans, and S-L for dogs.
Why Matching Works
Matching outfits create instant social media content. Fans have posted their matching sets under #JoeBartDog, and the community loves it. It's a conversation starter at the park. Plus, dogs seem to enjoy the attention - mine struts more when we match.
Durable Accessories for Active Dogs
Leash with Purpose
The Joe Bartolozzi leash is woven from 1-inch polypropylene webbing - the same material used in climbing gear. It has a reflective strip sewn along the entire length. The brass clip rotates 360 degrees to prevent tangling.
I've used this leash on hiking trails and daily walks. After three months, no fraying or rust. Worth the $25 investment if you walk your dog daily.
Treat Pouch and Collar Tag
For training, the treat pouch clips onto any waist belt or pocket. It has a zippered main compartment and a small loop for a bag dispenser.
The collar tag is a small enamel circle with Joe's face silhouette. It's lightweight, won't jingle, and engraves with your phone number. Cost is $8, and it ships with a silicone silencer.
How to Style Dog Merch for Walks and Outings
Casual Walk
Bandana + regular collar + matching tee. Keep it simple. The bandana adds personality without overheating your dog.
Training Session
Treat pouch on waist + leash + collar tag. Skip the tee if your dog gets dirty. The pouch holds high-value rewards.
Photo Op
Full matching set: hoodie for cold weather or tee for warm days, bandana, leash. Pose together. Use natural lighting for best results.
Hiking or Camping
Leash only (reflects at dusk) + collar tag (ID required). Dog hoodie if temps drop below 50°F. Avoid bandanas on trails where they could snag.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low. The bandana may shrink slightly if dried on high heat. Air drying keeps the print vibrant longer.How do I find my dog's size for the matching tee?
Measure your dog's chest circumference behind the front legs and length from neck to tail. The size chart on the product page includes specific measurements for each size.What if my dog is between sizes?
