This is the collared end of the wardrobe: polo shirts, button-downs and woven shirts for dogs, the pieces people pick for photos, events and days out rather than lounging.

Polo vs button-down vs woven

• Polo shirts are knit, so they stretch and move with the dog. The easiest collared style to wear for hours.
• Button-downs are woven and look sharpest, but have less give. Size up if your dog is broad through the chest.
• Woven and patterned shirts suit short outings and occasions; check the fabric note on each product.

Fit

Size by chest girth first, then back length. A collared shirt should sit flat at the neck without pulling when the dog lowers its head. Buttons and snaps should sit on the back, not under the chest where the dog lies on them.

Other tops

For plain and graphic tees see dog t-shirts. For hoodies and sweatshirts see dog sweatshirts.

Frequently asked questions

Are collared dog shirts comfortable?

Knit polos generally are. Woven shirts are best for shorter wear because they do not stretch.

How do I choose a size?

Measure the chest behind the front legs and compare with the size chart on the product page.
