The Best Dog Shirts
You already know your pup is the cutest one around. The only thing that could make them cuter is an adorable outfit. With dog shirts, you can give your pooch the extra style they need to turn heads at the dog park. More than style, a shirt can help protect your dog from scratching, overheating, and more. When selecting the best shirts, we considered three important factors: comfort, sizing, and budget. Comfort is our main prerogative when dressing dogs.

Why should I get my dog a shirt?
Whether you want to add something fun to your dog’s wardrobe past leashes and training vests, or you want to keep your dog warm and calm, a shirt can be just what you and your furry friend need. A shirt can provide security, thus calming anxiety. If your dog has a skin irritation or cut, a shirt can also prevent them from scratching it.
How often should I wash my dog’s shirt?
Generally, once every two weeks should suffice if your dog wears the shirt regularly. However, if your dog rolled in dirt outside or is a messy eater, you may need to throw their shirt in the wash more frequently. Just be sure to keep it fresh for your pup.
