Gold Paw Sun Shield Dog Tee – T-Shirt for Canines – UV Protection, Pet Anxiety Relief, Wound Care – Protects Against Foxtails, Aids Alopecia - Machine Washable, All Season – Size 8 – Pistachio

I don't usually leave reviews but I'm really pleased with this shirt. My bulldog/boxer mix must be oddly shaped because dog clothes never fit him correctly. But this shirt fits him well. He's 70 lbs but I went with size 20 because the recommended weight range is never right for him. It's always too big. I needed something snug. He's got allergies and is always scratching at himself this time of year. Despite having his hypoallergenic diet, supplements, creams, shampoos, and antihistamines, he is the world's itchiest dog come August. I wanted a shirt that would prevent him from scratching himself raw, but not be too hot. He seems really comfortable in it. It stretches nicely around his broad chest and extra neck fat without being too loose around his belly. The material is soft and doesn't irritate his super sensitive skin. And I think it's quite handsome on him. I'm definitely purchasing another. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend this shirt, especially if your pup is difficult to size/fit.

I measured my dogs from their neck/collar area to their butt. The length, in inches, correlates to the size you should buy. For example, if your dog measures at 12" he should get a size 12. I ordered my 60lb boxer lab mix a size 22 and it covered all the essential areas! She loves to sit outside in the sun but we limit her time weekly, concerned about sunburn. This covered her belly as hoped. She was technically 23" when I measured her but was worried it would be too baggy if I got 24 so I ordered a 22. I just ordered a 24 to cover more of her hind area. Our 17lb Coton de Tulear measured at 12 inches and a size 12 was a perfect fit. He has a problem with peeing on jackets we buy due to it covering too much of his stomach- had zero problems like that with this shirt. Fabric quality seems good, it's nice and stretchy without feeling cheap. Neither dog scratched at it when worn so they found it comfortable, which is most important!

I got this t shirt for my black dog who though he will bake himself in the sun at times while lounging does better while walking if he does not get overheated from too much sun. I live in arizona and travel to a higher altitude sunny place each year as well. This silvery sun shirt exceeded my expectations and works quite well. I was even able to hike at 9,000 feet last summer without the overheating issue. The fabric is lightweight, stretchy and well tolerated by even my clothes hating dog. I measured him as per the instructions and got the size 12 which turned out to be perfect. He is a thin, long bodied 18 pound dog, a Chinese crested mix most likely, with wavy but not overly thick fur. I happen to have a sun shirt that looks like the same fabric which gave me the idea to get him one as it has worked well for me, of course now we sometimes have matching outfits which is pretty silly. Hope this information helps all of you good doggie humans.

Pros:She seems comfortable while wearing it, and I like that it protects her from the sun and plants without overheating her. She also gets tons of compliments. The material is soft and pleasant though very stretchy.Cons:It’s HUGE on her. I filled out the “Fitting Guide” form on their website and they suggested a size 22, which I ordered. However it fits more like a dress than a shirt. It goes halfway down her tail, and is very loose around her midsection. It fits ok around her chest girth, but the neck opening tends to ride further and further down her shoulders as she walks. I often end up tying a knot on the back.She’s a 50lb American Pit Bull Terrier, muscular but slender, with a deep chest and wasp waist. Measures 26” chest, 19~20” length, 17” at base of neck, 16” at center of neck. Those are the measurements I input on their website. Though the 22 was recommended, maybe the 20 or even 18 would have fit better. Since I ordered it before a camping vacation, I had no time to exchange for a different size. It’s also a tad overpriced for what you end up getting. Might or might not order another.

My Honey Bea has a fatty tumor on her right side, it doesn’t bother her at all and we are having it removed in next couple of months, but occasionally she accidentally nicks it with her back paw if she scratches her head or ear as her paw is coming down. The vet suggested I put one of my tshirts on her and I did and what a joke! She’s part pitty, beagle, lab, etc. her length is short but her chest is large! So the human shirt didn’t really work, so I did some research and this shirt is THE WINNER! Fabric is sooooo soft! Stretchy and designed so well for dog movement! Cute colors and she looks like she has a little dress on from behind! I ordered her an 18 and it fits like a pair of yoga pants! 🤣 I may order the next one in a 20 just to see the difference! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I live in South Florida where in the summer it's in the mid-80's with almost 100% humidity at 9am. My dog has very thick black fur so I bought a cooling vest for him, but it was so thick and heavy I returned it and bought this instead. I have a 23lb beagle mix with a 22" chest and size 16 fit him perfectly.I keep it in a bowl of ice water in the fridge and wring it out really well. Somehow after we get back from a 20 minute walk it's still damp, and the best part is his fur underneath is cool to the touch. The sides are long enough so that no matter how many times he tries to shake it off, it doesn't flip up onto his back like I've read in reviews for similar products. He loves his walks very much and I'm happy this shirt keeps him a lot cooler.

Our dog has a hair loss condition due to medical conditions and medicine, so he needs to wear a shirt. For a $40ish “shirt” this could be sewn better for sure. The first one we had, that was too big, held up so much better than this one did. The trim around the arms came unstitched in less than a week of him wearing it. The rest is fine, it’s just disappointing considering it’s more expensive than most human shirts we buy. He only wears it inside too.

Love this UV protection for our hairless girl!Will be buying a few more!!!

Mein Malteser hat sehr dünnes Fell und neigt schnell zu Sonnenbrand. Seitdem sie dieses Shirt trägt ist das nicht mehr der Fall. Ich habe auch das Gefühl dass sie dadurch weniger erhitzt. Hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt.

The actual product is 100! It's exactly what I needed, it's a perfect shell for under my hairless standard Xolo's harness to prevent rubbing. But the price was silly, when the actual company Gold Paw sells them for 1/2 the price I paid, in the US. I did order a second one, for my female stardard Xolo and hers was $30 less, same size, just a different colour. The ranges of prices I'm finding all over Amazon are something I am considereding now, before each purchase.

This shirt is perfect for my boy. Fits well. It took a long time to arrive but other then that no complaints. Now he can enjoy sun time without me worrying about his skin.
