“I gotta tell ya, it’s hard to find cool duds for my larger-than-a-handbag-body. I know I’m shaped (and sometimes act) like a sack of potatoes, but that doesn’t mean I should have to look like one! … I’ve been wondering if there is any place that custom makes Doggie T-shirts? Do you know?”—Brody the Bulldog

Hey Brody, thanks for the excellent question. Being the handsome, full-bodied dog that you are, you must run into this problem all the time. Sure, there are plenty of doggy boutiques out there, but they all seem to cater to the petite Yorkies and the tiny Chihuahuas. Why should they be the only ones to look so fabulous?

So, what’s a healthy-sized bulldog to do? Well, this one is for all of you big-boned dogs out there—your know who you are—you Labs, Goldens, Greyhounds, Rotties, and yes, even you Great Danes. We here at Pet-Pet have found some boutiques that cater to you—the tall, the proud, and the perhaps a little portly.

Not only does Ruff Knits carry adorable sweaters, T-shirts, and jackets for all of dogkind, they also specialized in custom-made dog apparel. So, Brody, to directly answer you question—yes, there is a place that will custom make a doggie tee for you. And they do a really nice job, too.

Another great boutique that carries large dog clothing is Hands-N-Paws. They pride themselves in providing for the big and beautiful, such as Great Danes and Briards. Oh, could you imagine the Da Hoodie Sweater on a big Bouvier? And, they also have a nifty online tips and guideline page to help you measure your pet.

One more boutique we just had to mention is The Paw Shop. They may not have tons of big-dog clothing, but they have one item in particular that is simply too cute for words! Puppy PJs—in large sizes. Oh, just look at this bulldog in his cute, little jammies! The Teddies Dog Pajamas come in five sizes to fit Cavaliers and B-dogs, alike.

We hope we helped you out, Brody. Now, the rest is up to you. Our suggestion is to just “borrow” your mom’s credit card and let us know what you come up with! Trust us, we have a feeling she won’t mind…
