Dog Clothes

How do I choose the correct size for my Shih Tzu or Teddy?

Measure your dog's chest girth at the widest part and the neck circumference. For small breeds like Teddy Dogs and Shih Tzus, weight is an unreliable metric; always use physical measurements. If your dog falls between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size to ensure the knit does not restrict their natural movement or breathing.

Is the sleeveless style comfortable for active dogs?

Yes, the sleeveless Fair Isle design is specifically engineered for comfort and safety. The absence of sleeves allows for a full range of motion, making it ideal for dogs that enjoy running or playing outdoors. Additionally, the lack of sleeves reduces the risk of paws getting caught in the fabric, which can occur with looser-fitting sleeved sweaters.

What is the best way to wash and care for this dog sweater?

To maintain the shape and softness of the knit, we recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild, pet-safe detergent. If using a machine, select the delicate cycle and place the sweater in a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry flat; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can shrink the fibers and distort the Fair Isle pattern.

Can my dog wear this sweater in the snow or rain?

While this sweater provides excellent thermal protection for dry fall and winter days, it is not waterproof. In snowy or rainy conditions, it is best used as an insulating base layer underneath a water-resistant shell or harness. This ensures your pet stays warm while the outer layer keeps them dry.
