I'm bow shopping and have a simple question

[Darlene68]

Which type would you all suggest I get..or better yet which is more comfy for the wearer..I am clueless, Do they all clip on? Thanks, I found a ebayer seller, but they use loops?? I never thought bow shopping would be difficult

I have found some great ones at Petsmart. They are like a clothes pin, really cute and never come out or tangle. They come with a nice sized bow attached on the metal part, 6 to a card for $4.99. You can buy either a card full for boys or girls. The ones with the bow & loop together, are difficult to get out, for me. I find they tangle alot. I use a clear silcone band to make the top knot and just slide the clip on bow in! Beautiful!
Good luck with your new baby!

Some people like clips better and some like bands. I like bands better. The clips dont stay in for me. I would buy a couple of both and try them yourself and see which you like better

I don't think one is more "comfortable" over the other. I prefer bands. The bows sit better and are not easily gotten off.

How big is your dog? That determines which size you should get. You don't want a huge bow on a small dog's head.

Thanks!! I wish I had a PetSmart here..I am so jealous of you guys that have easy access to such great products

I just can't wait for Delilah's hair to get long enough to require one. I try putting one in but her hair is short and she somehow manages to get it off.

Look for bows which are 5/8 size single loop. When he gets a little older...then you'll get 5/8 double looped. An adult would wear 7/8 unless he's a really small dog when grown.

I shop bows all the time and have gotten them from several sellers on ebay.

The 3/8" are really really tiny. Those are usually worn as pigtails...maltese pairs.

Btw expect to wait awhile for them to arrive....most are not ready made so it's usually at least a couple of weeks before they are shipped.

I have actually bought baby bows at Walmart and also Target and I have bought them at Petco and Petland.
