Learn how to attach the Pusheen Pet Collar Bows 2-Pack securely and keep both bows clean with simple, pet-safe care steps.

Quick answer

Attach each bow to a flat section of your pet's collar, slide the loop or clip fully onto the strap, and check that it sits snug without twisting. For care, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, air-dry completely, and reattach only when the collar and bow are dry.

Why placement matters more than tightness

A collar bow stays put when it sits on a flat, straight run of the collar rather than over a buckle, D-ring, or tag loop. Placing it near the side of the neck keeps it visible without pressing into your pet's throat or catching on a leash.

The Pusheen Pet Collar Bows 2-Pack is designed to attach to most collars, but the catalog does not list a strap-width range. If your collar is unusually wide or thin, test the fit by hand before a walk and choose the bow that sits most securely.

When to take the bow off

Remove the bow for rough play, swimming, or any activity where it could snag. Even a well-attached bow adds a small projection to the collar, so supervised wear is the safer default until you know how your pet reacts.

If your pet scratches at the collar or tries to mouth the bow, take it off and reintroduce it for short sessions. A bow that becomes a chew toy is a choking risk, not a fashion statement.

How to attach and care for the collar bows step by step

Choose a flat spot on the collar: Lay the collar flat and pick a straight section away from the buckle, D-ring, and tag loop. Common mistake: sliding the bow over a buckle, which twists the fabric and makes the bow sit crooked. Mark the spot with your finger before you start threading.
Attach the bow fully onto the strap: Slide the bow's loop or clip over the collar strap until the entire attachment point is on the collar, not half-on. Check that the bow faces outward and the collar lies flat underneath. Tug gently on the bow; it should resist sliding without pulling the collar out of shape.
Test the fit before wearing: Put the collar on your pet and check that the bow does not press into the neck or hang low enough to catch a paw. If it shifts, move it to a flatter section or try the second bow from the pack. Watch your pet for the first few minutes; scratching or head-shaking means reposition or remove.
Spot-clean after wear: Wipe the bow with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, working gently around the printed area. Common mistake: soaking the bow or scrubbing hard, which can distort the fabric and dull the print. Clean both bows at the same time so you never forget one.
Air-dry completely before reattaching: Lay the bow flat in a well-ventilated spot and let it dry fully before putting it back on the collar. Avoid direct heat or a tumble dryer, which can warp the shape. If the bow still feels damp at the attachment point, give it more time.
Store the spare bow flat: Keep the unused bow in a drawer or box where it will not be crushed under other items. Storing it flat preserves the shape and keeps the print from creasing. Rotate bows regularly so both get equal wear and cleaning.
