Custom Pet Shirts

What is a custom dog shirt?

A custom dog shirt is a T-shirt printed with one particular pet, taken from a photo you send. Breed doesn't matter, because the print comes from your picture rather than stock art, so a mixed breed with one floppy ear or a gray-muzzled senior looks like itself. That's the difference from a generic breed tee, where every buyer gets the same dog.

At GenzOutfit, it works in three steps. You upload the original photo on the product page. Our team crops it, places it on the design and checks that it will print well. Then we print your shirt after you order and ship it to your US address. The full walkthrough is on our how it works page.

Face tee or photo tee: which custom dog T-shirt suits your photo?

Both designs use the same shirt, sizes and printing. The difference is how your photo is used, so let the photo you have decide.

Choose the dog face shirt when the expression is the star: the head tilt, the tongue, the ears. Choose the photo tee when you want a dog picture on a shirt with their name.

What are these custom dog shirts made of?

All our custom dog T-shirts use the Bella+Canvas 3001, printed in the USA:

• 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 32 singles, 4.2 oz (heather colors are cotton/poly blends)
• Unisex sizing from XS to 5XL
• Printed with DTG or DTF, depending on the print location
• Made to order after you check out

How do custom dog shirts for humans fit?

The 3001 is a unisex tee. Here are the published measurements in inches. "Bust" is listed as the supplier publishes it: chest width measured flat, doubled.

Letter sizes vary between brands, so compare numbers. Lay a T-shirt that fits you well flat, measure straight across the chest just below the sleeves, double it, and match it to the bust column. For an oversized look, many people go one size up. Our size guide has more help.

What photo makes the best personalized dog shirt?

Printing enlarges whatever you send, so a close photo where your pet's head fills most of the frame is the safest choice.

• Eyes and nose in sharp focus, with no motion blur.
• The whole head in frame, ears to chin, with nothing covering the face.
• Daylight on the face, not a bright window behind your pet.
• The original file, not a screenshot or a copy sent through a messaging app.
• No heavy filters or portrait-mode blur, and one pet per photo.

If the product page offers a shirt color, pick one that contrasts with your pet's coat: a black dog can disappear into a dark shirt and a white dog into a light one.

Who is a custom dog T-shirt a gift for?

• T-shirt dog moms and cat moms: a "dog mom" slogan tee could belong to anyone. A face tee cut from her own photo shows the ears, the head tilt and the markings only her pet has.
• Dog dads and cat dads with a full tee drawer: a novelty tee with a stranger's dog gets worn once. The photo tee can add his pet's name in up to 12 characters, so it reads as his.
• Cat people who gave up on cat tees: their cat will never sit still for a photo, and most cat tees show cartoon cats. One clear phone photo is enough, our team checks it before printing, and a personalized cat shirt works just like a dog one.
• A friend who has everything: generic presents get re-gifted, but a shirt with their own pet on it won't. Ask someone in the house for the original file, so the surprise stays intact.
• A family or group: one photo on a shirt for everyone, from a family to a charity dog-walk team, so nobody is left out of the family photo. Order each shirt in the wearer's size; every extra shirt counts toward the family discount described above.
• Couples tired of the usual anniversary dinner: two face tees with the same pet, each in its own size, put your shared dog or cat front and center.
• Grandparents who brag about the grand-dog: they live far away and mostly see the grand-dog on a screen. A photo tee with the pet's name gives them something to wear while they brag about it.
• New puppy, new kitten and adoption days: those first-week photos rarely get printed. For a surprise, get the original file from a shared album rather than a screenshot.
• Birthdays, Christmas and Father's Day: a last-minute Father's Day gift tends to be forgettable. Each shirt is printed after you order, so order early for the holidays and leave time in case we email you for a sharper photo.
• Remembering a pet who has passed away: you may worry about choosing the right photo. Send the sharpest original you have, and see our pet memorial gifts for other keepsakes.
• Homes with two pets or more: one pet always ends up left out of a single photo. Check each product page for how many pets its photo form takes, or give every pet its own tee.
• You, for no reason at all: if you hesitate to buy a shirt of your own dog, look at your camera roll; it is already full of that face. Treat yourself.

When will your shirt arrive?

Every shirt is printed after you order. Production takes 1–4 business days, then US shipping takes 2–9 business days. During the holiday season, allow an extra 5–15 business days, so order early for the holidays. We ship to US addresses.
