Spring Dog Bow Tie with Floral Pattern handmade in the Czech Republic
Spring walks, weekend meetups, sunny afternoon photos – your dog deserves a look that turns heads. This cheerful floral bow tie isn't just a fashion statement. Behind every FUNKY DOG piece is a real story of craftsmanship, sustainability, and care for animals in need.
The bright, hand-selected floral pattern is designed to look great on any coat colour – whether your dog is golden, black, white, or somewhere in between. Light, comfortable, and made for everyday wear – not just special occasions.
Local craftsmanship that matters
Every bow tie is hand-sewn by seamstresses at the D.R.A.K. sheltered workshop in Tanvald, Czech Republic. We produce locally, use natural materials, and support workers who deserve meaningful employment.
A purchase with real impact
55 CZK (€2.15) from every bow tie sold goes directly to animal shelters and rescue organisations across Czech Republic and Slovakia. This is not a symbolic gesture – FUNKY DOG has redistributed over 3,500,000 CZK to animals in need since 2015. Every dog wearing a FUNKY DOG bow tie is a walking symbol of support.
How it attaches
The bow tie attaches to any collar or harness using a velcro strip – takes about three seconds. For active dogs who love bushes and hedgerows, there's an elastic band lock to keep the bow tie in place no matter how adventurous the walk gets.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dog mind wearing it?
Most dogs don't notice it at all. The bow tie is lightweight. If your dog is collar-tolerant, the bow tie will be a non-event.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. The velcro holds firmly, and the elastic loop backup keeps things in place for dogs who explore enthusiastically.
How exactly does my purchase help shelters?
55 CZK from every bow tie goes directly to vetted shelters and animal rescue organisations. FUNKY DOG has given over 3.5 million CZK since 2015. You can read about which organisations receive support in the How We Help section on funkydog.cz.

I founded FUNKY DOG in August 2015. My name is Katka, and it all started with a bow tie.
In 2011 I passed a little dachshund mix on the street wearing a red bow tie on his collar. I knew right away that my Kadlo needed one too. I searched for four years - shops, vintage stores, second-hand places - but bow ties seemed to have vanished. Then in the summer of 2015 I finally found a men’s one I liked. Kadlo wore it all the time, and people kept stopping us on the street because of it. If nobody makes bow ties for dogs, I thought, I’ll make them myself. I designed the shape and the fastening so it would slip easily onto a collar or a harness, and started sewing.
From the very first piece I knew the sales had to help animals, the same way I’ve been involved in helping abandoned and abused animals my whole life. We donate 10 to 30 % of the price of every product to shelters and animals in need. The bow tie became our signature: a dog wearing one is supporting its friends in shelters.
Over time we added collars, leashes, dog beds and even our own insect-based treats. We make everything from hemp, linen and cotton, locally in the Czech Republic, and our textile products are sewn in a sheltered workshop. Together with two colleagues I also wrote a cookbook for dogs, Neštěkej a jez! (Don’t Bark, Eat!).
For ten years, the face of the brand was Mr. Cuddlo, our Kadlo, a purebred “hazelnut” with a big personality. He left us in 2025. His bow tie is now worn by Sendy, a ten-year-old lady we adopted.
