We get emails that say something like ‘I love that sweater does it come in an XX-Large?’ or ‘do you have a pink leather collar that will fit a 26” neck?’ all the time. And lately, we’re happy to say our answer is yes. Many large breeds such as the Great Dane, Newfoundland, Labrador and Rottweiler were out of luck when it came to great looking larger styles of shirts, sweater and collars. But now, the pet apparel industry is leveling out and has a better selection of stylish and durable items for larger breeds.
It’s hard to miss the best-dressed Yorkie on the block with a shirt or sweater for every day of the week. Small dogs clothes are abundant. But big dogs, and big dog owners were collectively left out of the fashion loop until now. Part of the issue was seeing the need for larger dogs to wear clothing, coats, and fashionable collars. German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Mastiffs and other large breeds were considered sporting or guardian dogs that were active that didn’t wear clothing. But that’s not necessarily true, many large breeds have short coats and can benefit from the warmth and protection that coats and sweaters have to offer. Some of our favorite sweaters and coats now come in sizes to fit dogs with necks up to 24” and chests up to 34” (that’s almost 3’ around).
Thanks to the growing demand for stylish products for larger dogs, many fashion collars now come in XX-Large sizes. Many large breed dog owners want their dog’s collar to make a statement about themselves and their families. Whether it’s purple crocodile studded leather collars or natural fleece lined hemp collars there is plenty to choose from. Bigger has certainly gotten better for large breed dogs.
