Sizing Chart

Sizing Chart

Measure loosely around the widest part of your dogs neck, on top of the fur.

 

This is not like measuring for a collar, you want the fabric to sit comfortably on top of your dog's fur and/or collar. In most cases, if in doubt, size up!

 

Our bandanas have a bit of stretch to them, so will fit a range of neck sizes and go over a dog's head easily. 

 

If your dog is borderline, or doesn't like anything tight-fitting, or has a lot of fur, we recommend sizing up.

 

If your dog is borderline, and can wear a larger size comfortably, there is more surface area for the embedded insect repellent on the M/L bandanas and so a larger size is more effective. 

 

 If you have any sizing queries, please contact us. 

Example of fit on a dog between sizes

Winifred is a Shiba Inu. The measurement around the widest part of her neck (at the base) on top of her fur is 41cm (not accounting for her collar). She is between sizes. Due to her thicker fur and the way she wears her bandana over the top of her collar, and her preference to not be wearing anything tight fitting, it is more comfortable for her to wear the M/L size.

(her neck is 41cm). 

 

It fits, but is a little tight with her dense fur.

Winifred is more comfortable in the M/L size. 

Frequently Asked Questions
about our insect repellent

Got questions? We’ve got answers...

 

Anything we've missed, drop us a message! As pet paw-rents, it's so important to be able to access all the information when making decisions for our doggies. 

Is the insect repellent embedded in the fabric?

Yes! The insect repellent is woven into the fibres of the fabric. There is no need to reapply, and our products are even machine washable!

Is my whole dog protected? 

Whippa Snappa products provide continuous protection as long as your dog is wearing them. The greater the coverage, the greater the protection. For our bandanas, they will primarily protect the head, neck and chest, where ticks, fleas and other biting insects are most often picked up. Generally, the smaller the dog, the more coverage one item is able to provide.

What if my dog gets wet?

We know that some dogs can't resist a puddle, or that some days they have to be walked in the rain! If your dog gets wet while wearing Whippa Snappa products, there's no need to worry. They remain effective even when exposed to water. Simply allow the product to air dry naturally, and it will continue to provide protection against fleas and ticks once dry.

 

Our products are machine washable and permanently embedded with insect repellent, so there is no need to reapply. No, jumping in a puddle doesn't count as a wash! We only count it as a wash when detergent is used. 

Is there an odour?

Our products are fragrance-free. They can be successfully worn without bothering sensitive doggy noses. Many customers even use them when their dogs are tracking or mantrailing and they are not distracting. 

Is there a shelf life?

Use the product within 5 years, and store away from UV light sources when not in use.

Are your products machine washable?

Yes, yes, YES! As paw-rents ourselves, we know how important it is to be able to wash our dog gear, especially after a muddy walk! 

 

Bandanas can be washed up to 80 times before losing the insect repellent effect, and harnesses up to 30 times. Both harnesses and bandanas can still be worn long after the insect repellent effect is gone

How long does the protection last when you take the product off?

The product is treated, not the pet. Therefore, when you take the product off there is no lasting repellent effect. 

Do your products contain harmful chemicals?

No! IR3535 (our insect repellent) is considered safe by the World Health Organisation, and is one of the safest insect repelling substances on the market. It does not kill or harm insects. The active substance is considered safe for use on children. 

Which insects do your products repel?

Ticks, fleas, mosquitos, biting flies, sand flies, bees, wasps and lice.

Where are your products treated?

Our products are treated in our facility in Europe. The technology for embedding the insect repellent is patented and exclusive to us at Whippa Snappa. 

Where can I wear Whippa Snappa products?

The woods, the fields, the park, the urban streets! Your dog can wear Whippa Snappa gear anywhere they may be exposed to fleas and ticks. (Yes, that includes when Granny comes round whose dog always has fleas!).

How old does my puppy have to be to wear your products?

We recommend our products for puppies over the age of 10 weeks. Before this, the risk of exposure to fleas and ticks is low. 

My dog has sensitive skin - are your products suitable?

Our insect repellent is hypoallergenic and unlikely to cause skin sensitivity. IR3535 scores 0.0/8.0 on the primary irritation index. If any skin irritation occurs, discontinue use. 

Is your insect repellent DEET-free?

Yes! Our products are 100% DEET free. 

How effective are the products?

Whippa Snappa products will greatly reduce the chance of bites. Our products are highly effective at repelling fleas and ticks. The risks to your pet will depend on the area you live in and their exposure. No repellent product is ever 100% effective, and if desired, these products are safe to be used in conjunction with oral and topical flea and tick treatments for extra protection if needed.
