Sizing
Tinka & Co Size Guide
Every piece is handmade on the Central Coast, and a beautiful fit is part of the craft. Finding your dog's size takes under a minute — all you need is a soft tape measure, or a piece of string and a ruler.
One rule for every measurement: snug, not tight.

Cats: cats fit a Small or Medium depending on their size — when in doubt, measure.
Designer range: Medium is our standard size, with an optional button fastening for larger dogs who need a little extra room.
Dapper range: Same sizing, but the thicker wool blend wears a touch closer — allow a little extra space, or add the button closure. See the photos on each product page for both options.
Bow Ties
No measuring needed — our bow ties slip over your dog's collar with a stretchy elastic loop that fits collars up to 4 cm wide.

Snoods
Wrap the tape around the widest part of your dog's head, going over the ears as if you were slipping the snood on. This one measurement matters more than weight or breed.
