How to Choose Pet-Parent Apparel That Fits

Updated September 28, 2026

A clothing gift works best when the fit is part of the plan. This guide is for human tees and hoodies, not clothing worn by dogs or cats.

Measure a garment the person already likes

  1. Lay a similar tee or hoodie flat without stretching it.
  2. Measure its length from the high shoulder beside the collar to the bottom hem.
  3. Measure straight across the chest, just below the sleeves. This is the flat garment width, not a body measurement.
  4. Compare those numbers with the correct product chart in our Size Guide.

Use the same units on both sides. Our charts show inches and centimetres; the centimetre figures are rounded conversions.

Use the chart for the actual style

The Pet Love Tee and Cat Mom Tee use different garment models. Hoodies have a separate chart too. A size label from another brand cannot tell you the measurements of this item.

Think about how the recipient wears their clothes. A favourite fitted tee and a loose layer worn over another top may need different amounts of room. Compare garments with the intended fit rather than automatically moving up one size.

If you cannot check measurements

A mug or tote avoids apparel sizing. You can still make the gift thoughtful with a note about the person's pet, without guessing their body size. Our Gift Guide includes options for both.

Before you order

Confirm the chosen size and colour are available on the product page. Read our return policy before buying: printed-to-order apparel should not be treated like a try-on order with guaranteed size exchanges. Leave time for production as well as shipping, especially when the gift has a fixed date.
