A practical buying guide to Pusheen pet collar bows, covering sizing, attachment, and when to choose them over other Pusheen pet accessories.
Quick answer
Pusheen pet collar bows are a small, low-commitment way to add character to a cat or dog collar, but they only work well when the bow matches your collar's width and your pet tolerates a light dangling accessory. Buy the 2-pack if you want a spare or two pets; skip it if your pet scratches at collar add-ons or wears a very thin or very wide collar.
Collar bows are one of those purchases that seem simple until you try to put one on a wiggling cat. The bow has to sit flat, the attachment has to hold, and your pet has to forget it is there. This guide walks through the decisions that actually matter before you add Pusheen pet collar bows to your cart.
Pusheen pet accessories range from harnesses to pedestal bowls, so it helps to know where bows fit. They are decoration first, not a safety or walking tool. That single fact drives every recommendation below.
What the 2-pack gives you that a single bow does not
A two-pack makes sense for two reasons: rotation and replacement. Bows get lost, chewed, or muddy, and having a spare means your pet is not bare while the other one dries or waits to be reattached. If you have two pets, a 2-pack also lets you split the set without buying twice.
The trade-off is that you cannot mix sizes within one pack. If your cat and your dog wear very different collar widths, a single 2-pack may not fit both. Check collar width before ordering rather than assuming one size covers a household.
- Buy the 2-pack if you want a backup or have two similarly sized pets.
- Buy a single bow if you are still testing whether your pet tolerates collar decorations.
Sizing: match the bow to the collar, not the pet
Collar bows are usually chosen by collar width, not by breed or body weight. A bow that is too wide for a slim cat collar will flop forward and catch on things; a bow that is too narrow for a wide dog collar will slide around and sit crooked. Measure the collar your pet already wears, at the point where the bow would sit.
If you are between sizes, size down for cats and small dogs, and size up only if the collar is genuinely wide. A slightly smaller bow stays put better and is less likely to be pawed at. This is the single most common mistake in a pet collar bow size guide: buying for the pet's size instead of the collar's.
- Measure the collar flat, not around the neck.
- Re-measure if you recently changed collars or added a tag pouch.
Attachment and safety checks before first wear
Whatever attachment style your bow uses, test it before a walk or a vet visit. Give the bow a firm tug while your pet is calm. If it shifts easily, it will shift more when your pet runs, scratches, or rolls. For cats that climb, a bow that snags is a real annoyance, so keep the profile low.
Supervise the first few wears. If your pet repeatedly scratches at the collar, chews the bow, or tries to hook it on furniture, remove it. No decoration is worth a snag or an irritated pet, and this is the honest limit of any collar bow.
- Do a tug test before the first outing.
- Remove the bow for off-leash play, crating, and grooming.
When to choose bows over other Pusheen pet accessories
If your goal is walking control or a better eating posture, a bow is the wrong tool. A harness and leash set does the walking job, and an elevated bowl does the mealtime job. Bows are for photos, everyday cuteness, and a small style upgrade on a collar you already trust.
That means the bow decision is mostly about your pet's tolerance, not about function. If your pet already wears a collar comfortably and ignores tags, a bow is a low-risk addition. If your pet hates anything on the neck, spend the money elsewhere.
- Choose a harness for walks, a bowl for meals, a bow for looks.
- Introduce the bow for short periods first.
Decision rules for buying Pusheen pet collar bows
- If your pet already ignores its collar and tags: A collar bow is a low-risk style add-on, and the 2-pack gives you a spare for loss or washing. Buy the 2-pack.
- If your pet scratches at collars or chews tags: A dangling bow will likely become a target and may be pulled off or swallowed. Skip bows and choose a harness or bowl instead.
- If you have a cat and a large dog: One 2-pack is unlikely to fit both collar widths correctly. Measure both collars and buy separate bows sized to each.
- If you are buying for photos or a single event: You only need one bow in good condition, and a spare is unnecessary. Buy a single bow rather than the 2-pack.
Pusheen pet products worth comparing
- Pusheen Pet Yellow Harness & Leash Set: The Pusheen 2-piece Pet Harness & Leash Set contains an adjustable harness and a detachable leash to keep your pet safe and comfortable, with a light pink and yellow harness featuring an all over print of Pusheen with ice cream cones. If your real need is safe walking rather than decoration, this set covers the functional job that a collar bow cannot.
- Pusheen Pet Pedestal Bowl: The Pusheen Pet Pedestal Bowl has a charming pastel purple finish and cute cat ears, and the elevated design promotes a more comfortable eating position. A useful alternative purchase when you want Pusheen style in the pet area but your pet will not tolerate anything on its collar.
- Pusheen Sushi Reusable Bag Keychain Plush: The Pusheen Sushi Reusable Bag Keychain features a silky-soft nylon tote with a white and gray grid pattern and Sushi Pusheen graphic, and the tote can be zipped up inside the mini Sushi Roll Pusheen Plush Keychain for easy storage. A matching-style option for the human side of the walk, so the pet gear and your own bag can share the same look.
Who the 2-pack is right for
Best for
- Cat and dog owners whose pets already wear a collar comfortably
- Households with two similarly sized pets or anyone who wants a spare bow
- Shoppers adding a small Pusheen touch to an existing collar rather than replacing gear
Not for
- Pets that scratch, chew, or snag collar accessories
- Owners who need walking control or mealtime support, which a bow cannot provide
- Households with very different collar widths where one pack cannot fit both pets
Measure the collar, test the attachment, and watch your pet's reaction for the first few wears. If the bow stays put and your pet ignores it, the 2-pack is a sensible small upgrade; if not, put the money toward a harness or bowl instead.
