Nine centimetres of adjustment range make it the most forgiving size in the line, which matters on breeds where neck girth varies a lot between individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig, heavy-coated dogs are the ones that suffer most in a British heatwave, and they are also the hardest to cool — there is simply more animal to bring down. A bandana is one part of that, and on a dog this size it should be treated as a help while you are also providing shade, water and a shortened walk, rather than as the answer on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits a 53–62cm neck girth, the largest All For Paws make.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA nine-centimetre range, the most adjustable of the four sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAP cotton cooling layer behind a polyester face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest damp surface in the range, which is what a big dog needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll For Paws describe the fabric as safe and non-irritating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue water ripple print, matching the smaller sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge and giant breeds measuring 53–62cm round the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy double coats — newfoundlands, bernese, GSDs — through hot spells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder or overweight big dogs, which lose heat least efficiently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKennels, show waiting areas and long journeys in warm weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll For Paws leave a one-centimetre gap between the Large at 52cm and this size at 53cm; a dog measuring exactly 52 to 53cm should take the X-Large, which can be fitted slightly tighter, rather than the Large, which cannot be let out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak the bandana in cold water until the fabric has taken up all it will hold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWring out the surplus, twist it, and put it in the fridge for about ten minutes — All For Paws say this step noticeably improves the cooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit it round the neck so it sits flat against the skin; a bandana held off the coat does very little.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-soak whenever it starts to feel dry, which on a hot still day is sooner than you expect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse in clean water and dry it fully before storing.
