Dog T Shirt
From LoveToKnow Dogs
Dog T shirts can prove how much one of you is pampered, but whether this is a clear choice of owner or pooch depends upon personal taste and your point of view. Dog T shirts come in several styles. Some the dog wears in a wrap-around torso style. Others are worn by people with silk-screened text, or ingrained stock, personal dog photos or custom images imprinted into the T shirt.
Dog T Shirt Styles
Some T shirts designed for dogs come in several sizes matching the breed and size of the pet. Some styles are designed to protect your pooch from the elements, primarily cold. Others are designed to carry a message, with your dog’s T shirt proclaiming to the world your personal philosophy or sense of humor. Joke messages prevail, although political commentary seems to be a fast-growing segment. But while people can immediately get the message you want to convey, it may take Fido some time to get used to the material. Some dogs may find T shirts more useful as bedding materials rather than something they have to endure and wear. And despite what nearly all dog owners claim, few dogs can read the messages they wear, nor do they care much about what their shirts say.
Dog T Shirt Printing
Most T shirt retailer websites offer dog shirts but do not make the shirts themselves. Most retailers buy blanks or shirt stock in bulk from a supplier. Once a product is ordered, an image is affixed to or imprinted on the shirt material, usually made of blends of cotton and synthetics, although 100% cotton T shirts with banded collars are also available. Some retailers will combine uploaded images or submitted photographs incorporated into a stock or customized deigns, adding a personal touch that can increase costs. Dog T shirt sizes are matched to breeds. People sizes come in small to double extra large. Size charts are available for breeds from the retailers.
One T Shirt for Every Breed and More
With more than 800 recognized breeds and many thousands of mixed breed or mutt varieties, there seems to be no limit upon the amount and variety of canine T shirts available. Clearly the primary reason you would fork out dollars for a dog T shirt is that you love your dog. With approximately thousands of dog shirt retailers offering hundreds to thousands of T shirt designs on their Web sites, the variety of choice is nearly overwhelming. But having a shirt imprinted is a way of carrying your dog with you all day, or a method of making a tiny little critter even more appealing at home. Dog T shirts designs are available in just about any combination from simple stock novelties, to personalized photo imprints. The appeal of personalized shirts is great, for everyone from housewives and professionals to Geeks mixing love of dogs with love of high tech.
Costs to Consider
How much your dog T shirt will set you back depends upon the stock offering of the retailer and differing levels of customization, but $15 seems to be a good entry level price. Some retailers offer shipping deals when you buy two or more T shirts. Credit card purchases are the norm.
