These can be added to any bow on the site.
- High quality, durable metal alligator clips with teeth.
- Nickel plated and tested to be lead free.
- 25mm & 30mm in length*.
If you wish to have alligator clips attached to your bows, simply select the quantity desired
(to match your bow order) and add to your cart.
PLEASE NOTE: If you want alligator clips added to only certain bows or sent separately,
make a special note in the "Comments" area at checkout. If I am unclear about
which bow(s)
you want your alligator clips attached to, I will contact you. If alligator clips ordered match the
number of bows ordered, I will assume you want them all attached.
*I use 30mm alligator clips on the 5/8" Small Bows and smaller 25mm alligator clips on the 3/8" Tiny Bows.
French Barrettes are also available as an alternative to
Alligator Clips.
Please read and consider all the information below before deciding on clips for your bows.
I have always maintained that BowBiz bows are much safer when constructed with elastic bands instead of clips. However, due to an overwhelming request for clips, I have opted to offer them to my customers, with the following notes & caveats.
How do I order alligator clips for my bows?
Simply add the number of clips to match your bow order to your cart (ie: 14 bows = add 14 clips to cart). Customizing your bows with quality alligator clips costs only $0.99 per bow.
If you want to add clips to only some, and not all, of the bows you are ordering, please list the ones you'd like clips added to in the "Special Comments" area when ordering. Or, if you prefer, you can send me an email at
info@bowbizdogbows.com to specify which bows you'd like the ordered clips attached to.
How are bows secured to the alligator clips?
Bows are attached with a strong glue (thread will break too easily). They are constructed quite durably however there is always a possibility of the bow becoming loose if not handled gently. Just as elastics can break, so too can clips become loose, detached or damaged. (If clips comes loose or detached from the bow, carefully remove any excess glue from the back of the bow & clip. Simply reattach clip using a low temperature glue gun.) Personally, I have not had any problems with alligator clips yet and have found them to be quite sturdy.
Can every furbaby wear alligator clips?
Consider if your furbaby’s temperament is suitable for clips. Is your furbaby determined to get the bow out of it’s hair? Are you able to monitor your pet? Is your furbaby accustomed to wearing bows or clips in their hair?
Are alligator clips safe?
Clearly you are introducing a small, hard object near your furbaby. If a clip becomes detached, it can be potentially dangerous if chewed or ingested, plus there is always a risk of choking. Please be certain to know your furbaby's temperament and monitor them if/when necessary. (Note that BowBiz cannot be held liable for any accident or injury involving clips.)
Are bows with clips returnable?
Bows with clips added are considered custom-made & cannot be returned regardless of reasons.
Rest assured that each clip is tested prior to shipping out and is guaranteed to be in perfect working order when shipped.
All the above being said, if you wish to add alligator clips to your bows, I will be happy to accommodate you
as I always want to make my customers happy.
