13 Best Print On Demand Dog Clothing Companies
1. Printify
One of the best companies to join is Printify, thanks to their wide range of products, long list of ecommerce integrations and pretty affordable prices (not for everything).
Truth be told, there’s a lot more pet products you can find on Printify compared to others in this list! So it deserves to be on the top. Printify’s dog clothes includes the pet tank top and pet bandana – you can use these on other pets too.
Other pet products include print on demand dog bowls and pet beds!
Here’s a sample of a dog hoodie I designed using a bee themed image downloaded from Creative Fabrica – real Printify mock up down below. The seamless patterns make it easy for me to resize to achieve a high DPI and ensure great printing quality.
- Advantages

2. Printed Mint
Since most of Printify’s dog products are sourced from Printed Mint, it only makes sense that they have a wide range of products on their site too.
Printed Mint’s pet apparels are much cheaper on their own site (at around 25% for some!) and there’s even more sizes to choose from. You can get the tank top in XS-3XL sizes, compared to just M-XL on Printify.
- Advantages

- Cheaper cost per product compared to Printify
- Provides more sizes suitable for larger breeds – 7 sizes available for tank tops, 2 sizes for bandanas

3. Redbubble
Who doesn’t know Redbubble? If you’re short on time and not looking to sell dog clothing on sites like Etsy or Shopify, Redbubble may work for you. I made my first print on demand sale on the site!
Simply upload designs to multiple products at once and click publish! Your products are ready for sale on Redbubble’s own marketplace – it does not integrate with any other platform.
There’s limited choices of dog clothing on Redbubble and they don’t sell any tank tops. Their pet bandanas come in two sizes though!
- Advantages
- Two sizes for pet bandanas – Small and Large
- All-over-print designs make the bandanas stand out than normal ones
- Selling price of a pet bandana (to a customer) starts from $12.12 – pretty cheap!
- You are free to set your own prices, standard profit margin starts at 20%
- Few other pet products to sell together
- Established marketplace with ready audience and consistent traffic
- Machine washable and durable for repeated use
- Disadvantages
- Limited options of dog clothing to sell

4. CafePress
One of the oldest print on demand platforms is CafePress – you can just feel this from how the site looks a little dated. They’re similar to Redbubble and function as a marketplace. Artists can immediately sell their designs without going through the hassle of building an ecommerce store.
Compared to the three platforms before, CafePress only sells dog apparels and nothing else. All sellers price their products the same so it’s less stressful compared to Redbubble where some people can underprice (below the standard 20% margin).
- Advantages
- 6 sizes available for tank tops (S-3XL)
- You can customize dog clothing for your own use and not need to sell to others
- Ability to personalize dog clothing to include initials or names
- Tank tops feature black lining on sleeves & collar
- Provides recommended sizing for popular dog breeds on product page
- Printed and shipped from the USA
- Machine washable and durable for repeated use
- Disadvantages
- Size runs small and advisable to size up by 1-2 sizes for best fit
- Only one sided printing for the pet tank top
- Tank top comes in 1 color only (white)
- Only ships orders to 26 countries and accepts artists from the same countries only

5. Subliminator
Not looking to create average looking tank tops or bandanas for dogs? You can make print on demand dog zip hoodies with Subliminator.
Prices are slightly on the higher side but it’s totally understandable. The hoodies are super cute and rare, unlike other dog clothing you can find in the market. They look quite premium too!
- Advantages
- All-over-print designs for dog hoodies
- Offers 2 types of hoodies – fashion and athletic
- Front zip closure to put it on easily
- Cuffed sleeves hoodie to give a fitted look
- Includes velcro pocket on the back to fit in treats etc.
- Has a small opening on the back to use dog harness
- The fashion hoodie is made of 20% cotton for more comfort compared to athletic hoodie (no cotton)
- Hoodies are available in 7 sizes (XXS-2XL) for dogs of all sizes
- Price includes shipping to USA, UK, Germany, Europe, Australia, Canada – an extra $2 charge for rest of world
- Sizing chart with diagram provided at product page
- Great quality product and high resolution printing
- Machine washable and durable for repeated use
- Disadvantages

6. Gooten
Similar to Printify, Gooten works with a network of printing partners and therefore has a great collection of pet products including dog clothing.
Although they don’t offer the same kind of tank tops as Printify does, they have pet bandanas!
Pet bandanas seem to be a more popular option among print on demand companies when it comes to dog clothing. They’re much easier to design and print. People also tend to have more than one bandana for their dogs compared to tank tops so it makes sense!
- Advantages
- All-over-print pet bandana
- Pet bandana comes in two sizes – square shaped or triangular shaped
- Printed and shipped from the USA
- Product design templates provided at product page
- Machine washable and durable for repeated use
- Few other pet products available for you to sell alongside pet bandanas in your store
- Hemmed seams to prevent easy damage
- Disadvantages
- Prices are only visible when you’re logged in as a seller
- Applying to become a seller is a little tedious – you’ll have to submit details on your experience in POD

7. Prodigi
Unlike others in this list, Prodigi is a UK-based print on demand company offering an assortment of products including dog clothing and print on demand dog tags.
Although prices are quoted in GBP, I find them quite reasonable and cheaper than few others. They also offer wholesale prices if you’re looking to order in bulk to sell your designs on your own. You can find high quality pet beds too, suited for both dogs and cats!
It doesn’t offer automatic seamless integrations with some ecommerce platforms like others but does provide guides on how to process orders by uploading CSV files manually.
- Advantages
- All-over-print dog bandana
- Dog bandana available in 3 sizes (S-L) for dogs of all sizes
- Bandanas are made to self-tie for a more comfortable fit
- Weather proof and stain resistant dog bandanas to keep your minds at ease
- Hemmed seams to prevent easy damage
- Reasonable prices for dog bandanas at £6.00 for small and medium size
- Offers wholesale price for bulk orders starting from £5.50 per unit
- Machine washable and durable for repeated use
- Product design templates provided at product page
- Few other dog products for you to sell alongside bandanas in your store
- Disadvantages
- Prices are in GBP (British Pounds) and may be confusing if it’s not your main currency
- Does not integrate automatically with most ecommerce platforms (possible via API and manual CSV ordering)

8. Zazzle
Another marketplace that’s comparable to Redbubble is Zazzle. Both these platforms can’t be integrated with any other ecommerce website so you’ll be selling directly on their site. This makes things a lot easier especially for those looking to make print on demand a side hustle.
Although competition can be a little tough on POD marketplaces, there’s a fair trade-off with the amount of free traffic these sites can potentially bring to your store – if you do things right of course!
There’s quite a number of pet products you can sell on Zazzle including their dog bandana as cute dog clothes. Humans can wear them too!
- Advantages
- Dog bandanas come in two sizes – small and large
- Can make an all-over-printed design
- Lightweight fabric that breathes well and dries quickly
- Great product quality with high resolution printing
- You can make customizable dog clothing for your own use without having to sell them to others
- The same bandanas can be used for kids and adults for other uses (if you don’t intend to make them for pets)
- Disadvantages
- Designs are printed on one side only
- Sellers designed products are mixed with everyone else’s on the marketplace – tougher competition to make sales
- Platform is quite confusing to use for beginners (I experienced this myself!)

9. Merchize
Keen on sourcing print on demand dog clothing from outside the USA, UK or Europe? You may like Merchize! They’re a POD company based in Vietnam that ships worldwide.
Just like Subliminator, most of their products use an all-over-print method which means you can leverage more as a seller to charge higher. Given that their operations are done in Vietnam, products are much cheaper than others in this list.
To my surprise, Merchize offers Hawaiian-inspired pet shirts on top of tank tops and pet bandanas. Something cute others don’t offer!
- Advantages
- Offers Hawaiian pet shirt, pet bandana and pet tank top
- 15 product base color to choose from for tank tops
- Large sizes suitable for various breeds – from S to 5XL for tank tops, S-L for bandanas and XS-3XL for Hawaiian pet shirts

- Pet bandana with collar allows for two different artwork to be displayed on two sides
- Sizing chart with diagram provided at product page
- Provides recommended sizing for popular dog breeds on product page
- Relatively cheaper prices than other suppliers
- Integrates with popular ecommerce platforms for easy selling
- Disadvantages
- Orders are printed and shipped from Vietnam – may take more time to be delivered if your main customers are in the USA
- Only offers dog apparel products and no accessories for cross-selling

10. 99DIY
Not many know about 99DIY but it has long been in the market with its own China-based factory. 99DIY is a POD supplier for CJdropshipping and Printify which makes it a credible supplier to work with.
They have a wide range of intricate products you can’t find anywhere else – including charms, bracelets and even contact lenses!
The only integration available at the moment is via Shopify so it’s best to have some intermediate ecommerce skills before using 99DIY for your print on demand dog clothing biz.
- Advantages
- There are a few dog products you can sell together in your store – pet tag & pet chest strap
- Offers a pet chest strap with customizable designs, suitable for dogs and cats – something others don’t have!
- Large sized pet bandana is priced from $3.48 – super cheap with huge profit margin potential
- Designs are printed on both sides of pet bandana
- Machine washable and durable for repeated use
- Disadvantages
- Orders are printed and shipped from a factory in China and may take some time to be delivered if your main audience is in the USA
- Average shipping time: 10-15 business days
- Pet bandana only comes in one size
- Does not offer dog tank tops

11. Teelaunch
Another POD site with cheap cost prices is Teelaunch. The pet bandana is affordable as it starts from $5.75 per unit! This is significantly much cheaper than what you can find on Printify (cheapest bandana is at $10.07).
They also offer pet crate mats made with polyester foam inserts – much more comfortable than the normal pet mat and can be used as simple bedding for dogs. You can sell them in your store too with designs to match the bandanas.
I do find the site a little dated and not updated with helpful information for beginners to start using the platform. But if there’s a will, there’s a way!
- Advantages
- Orders are printed and shipped from Florida, USA
- Product design file guidelines provided at product page
- Affordable pet bandana starts from $5.75 per unit
- Hemmed seams to prevent easy damage
- Few other dog products you can sell together in your store – pet crate mat & pet pillow

- Not all products are shipped internationally and only available in the USA – read here
- Site does not contain much information to help newbies

12. HugePOD
If you don’t mind sourcing your products from China, you should consider using HugePOD. Although their dog clothing is only limited to two options, hoodies and bandanas, HugePOD has a lot of other products to offer.
It’s one of the best options if you’re looking to purchase in large quantities to sell offline. Buying at least 100 units will allow you to save 20% on product cost. Even if you’re looking to buy just 6 units to give your friends, you can save about 5%!

13. Inkedjoy
Definitely saving the best for last! Inkedjoy is a great option to go with if you’re planning to start an online store dedicated to only dog clothing. There’s pet hoodies, tank tops, sweaters as well as neck shirts for you to design aside from the usual pet bandanas.
Dog clothing on Inkedjoy is even more cheaper than others in this list, although 99DIY’s pet bandanas is unbeatable. Plus, all of their pet supplies are all over printed which leaves no room for blank spaces.

- Some examples would be activities dogs love to do, seasons or type of patterns
- Focus on your chosen niche for the next 100 designs!
- Do research on best selling and trendy designs

- You’ll have to create an account with one of the sites I’ve mentioned above to start selling
- Choose one supplier that resonates to you the most with the right products you’ve envisioned for your pet apparel business
- Upload designs to products
- Uploading designs to supplier’s products is super easy and you should be able to do this once an account is created
- Position the design correctly when uploading as the actual product will look the same as what you see online
- Set a suitable profit margin for each product
- On most sites, you should be able to set a selling price once you’ve done uploading the design
- A suitable margin should be 40%-50% depending on the platform you’re selling on and any fees you’ll incur on each sale
- This excludes shipping charges to customers!
- Sync them to your ecommerce store
- You would need to integrate your ecommerce store e.g. Etsy or Shopify before you’re able to sell so do that first
- Sync the ready product to your store to start selling them publicly
- Sites like Redbubble, CafePress and Zazzle have their own marketplace for you to sell your products – so you don’t need a separate store to use them
- Start selling and repeat!
- Repeat the process and you’ll get some sales with time!
- Increase your chances of success by uploading more quality designs and using professional mockup tools like Placeit
- Consider bringing in traffic to your store with ads (if you’re not selling on a marketplace)
4 Things To Consider Before Making Print On Demand Dog Clothing
- Print area
- Print areas are different for each dog clothing e.g. the tank top, hoodie or bandana
- Download the design templates provided at product pages before making any designs
- Generally, bandanas should be used folded in triangular shape so it makes sense to have the design rotated fitted to the triangle area and not the original square – most people forget this!
- Comfort
- Most bandanas are made with polyester blend without any cotton – exception to Teelaunch bandanas!
- Cotton makes the product much more comfortable for your lovely dogs to wear on summer or winter days
- Subliminator’s fashion hoodie is made with 20% cotton for a better fit compared to the athletic hoodie
- Dog breeds
- Give a thought of which dog breed you’re targeting with your products
- If you’re aiming to make dog clothing for larger sized breeds, you will have to choose a POD supplier with larger sizes
- Printed Mint has more sizing choices for dog tank tops compared to others
- Redbubble, Zazzle and Merchize has pet bandanas in large sizes too
- Products to cross-sell
- It’s always good to niche down early on by just selling one product but you may change courses later on in your journey
- To make things easier for you later, pick a POD supplier that also offers other types of pet products
- Cross-selling using related products is a great strategy to increase your average order value and increase revenue!
Check out: 11 ways you can increase average order value (check out value)
The bandana design on the right makes more sense than the one on the left. As these are usually folded along the diagonal line to form a triangular shape and tied around a dog’s neck. The “Woof!” design will appear nicely when used!
