The cheapest item here, and the one to buy first if you genuinely do not know whether your animal will tolerate anything. What it tells you is worth more than what it costs.

Why you'll love it
At well under a tenner it is the item to try if you have no idea whether your animal will tolerate anything at all. If the tie is refused, nothing else here will land either.
Skulls, candy corn, pumpkin lanterns, purple spiders, pink ghosts and five more. The turquoise greeting and the pale skulls are the two that show against a black coat, where every other design vanishes.
One elastic loop and a printed blade. There is no buckle to set, no clip to lose behind the sofa and no size chart to read.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
Most pet ties on the market fasten to the collar the animal is already wearing, which adds decoration without adding anything round the neck. This one does not. It is a closed elastic band that passes over the head, so what the animal ends up with is a second loop at the throat alongside its collar.
The elastic has no adjuster and no breakaway. It stretches across roughly twenty to forty centimetres and settles wherever the neck is widest. On a small dog that can leave enough slack for a paw to go through while scratching, which is the specific failure to watch for here.
Eight of the ten are printed on a black or very dark ground. On a black cat or a dark brindle dog they simply vanish, and you end up photographing a shape you cannot see. Only two carry enough contrast to hold up: the turquoise greeting print and the pale skulls.
On a light coated animal the opposite applies and the dark grounds are the ones with impact. Candy corn, pumpkin lanterns and pumpkin patch all sit crisply against cream or golden fur, where the turquoise looks washed out.
The colour dots on this page are sampled from the tie blades rather than invented, which is why six of them look nearly identical. Those six really are close in colour; the printed motifs are what separate them, so choose by name and photograph rather than by swatch.
The blade is a fixed 13cm regardless of the animal. On a cat that is a substantial tie reaching most of the way down the chest. On a labrador it is a small flash of pattern under the chin, which some people like and others find underwhelming.
If your dog is larger than a spaniel and you want the accessory to be the costume rather than a detail, the bandana in this range covers far more area for the same money and ties to fit rather than stretching to fit.

The details
Loved by real pet parents
The monsters, the turquoise one, the pink ghosts and the candy corn. They are genuinely different prints rather than the same tie in four colours, and the turquoise is the one that photographs best indoors. All four stretch the same and all four sit at the same height.
The elastic is meant to cover 20 to 40cm, and on a cat at the bottom of that range it hangs a bit low and rolls sideways. There is no adjuster, so what you get is what you get. The skull print is sharp and the polyester has not creased.
Our dog is entirely black and most of the ten designs simply vanish on him. The pale skull print is the exception and you can actually make it out in a photograph. Thirty grams, over the head in one motion, no fuss at all.
One elastic loop over the head, straighten the blade, done. For a dog who leaves the room when he sees a jumper, this is about the limit of what he will put up with. The purple spiders print has kept its colour through a cool hand wash.
It is well printed and the elastic is properly stitched in, so no complaints about the making of it. At 13cm long it is smaller than I had pictured, and on a medium dog it looks a bit lost against his chest. On a cat it would be far better proportioned.
I assumed it clipped onto the collar and it does not, it is one elastic loop that passes over the head. Once I knew that it was simple enough, and our spaniel stood still for it. The 13cm blade sits neatly on his chest rather than swinging about.
It is an elastic loop with no release, so I only put it on when I am in the room and take it off afterwards. That is stated clearly in the description, which I appreciated. The tie itself is neat and the spooky print is better in person than on screen.
We had no idea whether he would tolerate anything, so we started with the smallest item we could find. He wore the pumpkin patch tie all evening without touching it, so a jumper is next. Nothing to buckle and nothing to lose down the side of the sofa.
I expected it to disappear into the fur, but the blade lies flat and stays visible. Ours is the pumpkin lantern design and the orange stands out well against a grey coat. Hand washed cool and dried flat, and it still looks new.
Good questions
No. It is a closed elastic loop that passes over the head, so it is a second thing round the neck rather than an attachment to the first. Put it on for the photograph and take it off after.
They are close, because six of the ten are a black ground with an orange print and average out to a similar brown. The design names carry the difference; the photographs show it properly.
The elastic reaches around 40cm, so a medium dog yes, a labrador at a stretch, a great dane no. The tie itself stays 13cm whatever it is on, so it looks smaller the larger the animal.
Slowly, and that is the failure mode to expect rather than the print wearing out. Once it no longer holds position on the neck it has become slack enough to be a snag risk, and it should be retired.
Hand wash cool and dry flat. A machine cycle will stretch the elastic out of shape long before the printed blade shows any wear.
