Clothes for Giant Breeds

Hi there, Roxy the Doggy Fashion Diva here with another Dog Fashion Update. We were wondering what to talk about this week and decided to go to Momma's favorite hangout (twitter) to ask if anyone had any ideas. We got a few ideas which we will definitely use in future posts. One that really intrigued us was from a nice lady who has a giant breed dog. Not a large dog such as our Buddy, who is 80 pounds. But a Giant Breed which is usually over 100 pounds and can be up to 250 pounds. We are talking about the Big Guns here. Great Pyrenees, Mastiffs, Irish Wolfhounds, Rottweilers, Great Danes, etc. You get the idea. Apparently there's not a lot out there for the giant dogs.

I decided to do some research and this lady is right. What most pet retailers think of as clothing for Giant Breeds are for dogs between 60 to 100 pounds. That's really considered a large breed dog, not a Giant breed. I tell you dog fashion manufacturers, here is an untapped market!

We did find a few things that might work for Giant breeds.

Nothin' Butt Dogs has breed specific t-shirts such as the one for Mastiffs modeled here (that's not a Mastiff by the way; they had the same model for all the dog clothes.) The t-shirts seem to be the only clothing for the dogs and they run about $23. They do have other breed specific stuff for sale too.

Pet Expressions has some gorgeous dog sweaters and does has some giant breeds listed in it's sizing chart such as Bullmastiff, Doberman Pincher, Mastiff, Rottweiler, and Big Goofy Dog. They run about $55 for the largest sizes.

Happy Pet Paws on Etsy has some bandanas that at 35" might work for a few of the big guys.These run $6.50.

Hands n Paws has some beautiful reversable bandanas that run 39" and go for $11.

The Velvet Snoot says these cute tank tops are for Giant Breeds too, the largest is 33" long and costs $42 so you be the judge.

Ok, that's about all we could find. If you know of a source for giant breed dog clothing, please leave us comment and tell us where to find them. We'd love to feature them in a future post.
