Custom Pet Sweatshirts & Hoodies

What is a dog face sweatshirt?

A dog face sweatshirt is a sweatshirt or hoodie printed with the face of one real pet, cut from a photo its owner sends. The markings, ear shape and expression come from that picture, which separates it from a breed sweatshirt showing an average dog. Mixed breeds, rescues and gray-muzzled seniors all look like themselves, and cats work just as well.

At GenzOutfit, you upload the original photo on the product page. Our team crops around your pet's face, places it on the design and checks that it will print well. Nothing is made in advance: we print after you order, then ship to your US address. Each step is on our how it works page.

Crewneck or hoodie: which custom dog sweatshirt should you choose?

The two styles share the same fabric, the same face design and the same measurements from S to 5XL. The differences are the hood, the pocket and the size range.

Pick the custom dog crewneck if you like a clean neckline that layers under a jacket; with no hood or pocket, the front is one open surface for the face. Pick the custom dog hoodie if you want a hood and somewhere to put your hands. If you wear XS, the hoodie is the one that comes in your size.

How do the sizes compare?

From S to 5XL, the published body length, bust and sleeve measurements are the same for both styles. A size M crewneck and a size M hoodie are both listed at 28 in long, 44 in bust and 34.5 in sleeve. So if you know your size in one, you know it in the other.

The hoodie adds an XS, listed at 26 in long, 36 in bust and 32.5 in sleeve. At the other end, 5XL is listed at 34 in long and 68 in bust for both styles. Both are unisex.

Lay a sweatshirt that fits the way you like flat and compare chest, body length and sleeve, not just the letter. For an oversized look, many people go one size up. The full chart is in our size guide.

Is a dog face sweatshirt printed or embroidered?

Printed. Both styles are printed in the USA with direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, which puts your actual photo on the fabric, so fur texture, markings and expression carry over. We don't offer embroidery, which turns a photo into a simplified stitched outline. If you were searching for an embroidered dog sweatshirt, this is a different product: a printed photo of your pet's face.

What photo works best on a personalized pet hoodie?

Both styles use the face design, and a print enlarges every flaw, so aim for a close shot where the head fills most of the picture:

• The whole face in frame, ear tips to chin, with nothing covering it
• Sharp eyes and nose, taken at your pet's eye level in a calm moment
• Daylight on the face, not a bright window behind your pet
• The original file from your phone, without heavy filters or portrait-mode blur

If your photo is too blurry, dark or low-resolution, we email you before production so you can send another. Cat people are welcome: a personalized cat sweatshirt works the same way.

Who is a personalized dog hoodie for?

• A dog walker, sitter or trainer: someone who knows that face from every week. Ask the owner for an original photo, not one saved from social media.
• Matching family pieces: upload the same photo to a crewneck or hoodie for each person and choose every wearer's size separately.
• Remembering a pet: choose the clearest original you have, and see our pet memorial gifts for other keepsakes.

When will your sweatshirt or hoodie arrive?

Each piece 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; see our shipping details for more.
