Choosing the Right Size Bow Tie – Because Drama Comes in All Sizes

“What Size Bow Should My Dog Wear?” (A Franky’s Bowtique Guide to Getting It Just Right)

At Franky’s Bowtique, we get asked this question a lot:
“What size bow should I get for my dog?”

And honestly?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Because every dog is different. Every dog mum is different. And let’s be real—sometimes your dog needs a bow tie that screams “I’m extra AF and I know it,” and other times they just need to look cute for a Sunday stroll.

We offer three sizes for our Badge Bows®:
🥇 Small – Perfect for walkies, pups who like subtle sass, or teeny fluffballs.
🥈 Standard – Our most popular size. Works for most breeds, most occasions, and gives just enough flair without looking OTT.
🥉 Large – The Beyoncé of bows. Drama. Statement. Ideal for birthdays, Insta photoshoots, or anytime your dog needs to shut it down with style.

Let’s break it down:

• Got a Chihuahua?
  Sure, you can go for a Large if you’re planning a fabulous birthday shoot or want to go viral on TikTok. But if you're popping to the park, a Small is probably more practical (and won’t weigh the poor baby down like a head-heavy toddler at a wedding).

• Got a Frenchie or a Cockapoo?
  Standard is usually the sweet spot. But hey—if you’ve got a flair for the dramatic, a Large is still an option... just maybe not for zoomies.

• Got a Golden Retriever or a Staffy with swagger?
  You’ve got options. Standard looks fab, but if it’s a special occasion, that Large will have people stopping you in the street like, “WHERE is that from?”

The truth?

It all comes down to personal choice.
What’s the bow for? Walkies? A birthday party? A professional dog photoshoot in a field of wildflowers while your pup stares wistfully into the distance like the main character in a BBC drama?

You do you. Or rather—you do them.

A Quick Note on Sizes:

All our bows are handmade in the UK, with love, sass, and strong AF stitching.
Need something custom? Want to tweak the sizing slightly for your pup’s floof or floof-less neck?
Drop us a message—we’re happy to help.

Just a heads-up: our Large sizes are limited on some of our designs due to fabric availability and practicality. So if you’re eyeing one, grab it while you can.

So, what’s it gonna be?

✨ A Small for everyday chic?
✨ A Standard for classic, no-fuss fabulousness?
✨ Or a Large to let your dog live their best extra life?

Whatever you pick, they’ll look fabulous. And let’s face it—they deserve it.
