Personalized Custom Dog Daddy Shirt

A dog daddy shirt for the guy whose phone is 90% one dog

This personalized custom dog daddy shirt is a 90s bootleg tee with DOG DAD across the top in chrome, the dog’s name under it in white script, and a collage of him and his pup filling the middle.

It’s one of the easier dog dad gifts to get right, since the photos do the talking.

What’s on it

Our samples show a man and his chocolate Lab doing the usual: a face-squish selfie, a trail hike, a ride in the pickup and a nap on the couch. A lightning frame wraps around everything.

Several colorways are silver chrome with white sparks; another goes louder with purple, pink and blue, and one extra sample shows a bearded guy and his Lab in purple and blue neon.

There are 15 colorways for this dog photo shirt, and mutts are very much included.

Turning it into his shirt

Tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie: choose the garment, then his size.
Colors: select a shirt color and one of the 15 design colorways.
Photos: upload 3 to 8 of him with the dog to replace the sample man and Lab.
Dog’s name: type it for the script line under DOG DAD.

Why he’d actually wear this dog dad shirt

Dog dad gifts are usually a mug or a novelty pun shirt
He’s in almost none of the dog photos because he’s holding the camera
Guys skip anything that looks cutesy or covered in paw prints

Plenty of men show more affection to the dog than they say out loud, and a shirt says it for them. DOG DAD in chrome sits over the dog’s name in white script, with face-squish selfies and pickup rides in a lightning frame, which reads like 90s rap merch.

A finished version: Bear in script, silver colorway 12, a face-squish selfie up the middle and pickup, trail and couch photos around it. Close-ups where you can see both faces make the best dog face shirt.

Who do people buy the dog dad shirt for?

The usual buyer is a wife or girlfriend whose guy talks to the dog more than to anyone else in the house. He doesn’t wear slogan tees, but he’d wear one with his chocolate Lab riding shotgun in the pickup.

Your husband

He has full conversations with the dog about the weather, so a tee full of the two of them is the honest version of him.

A boyfriend who calls the Lab his son

Since he says it without irony, a crewneck with DOG DAD over their selfies just makes it official.

Dad, from grown kids

If the dog was part of your childhood, old photos of Dad and the pup turn into a Father’s Day gift with real history.

A neighbor who walks his dog twice a day

He’s out in all weather anyway, and the hoodie gives him something warm with his buddy on it.

Yourself

No one else is going to buy it for you, so upload the pickup photos and order your own size.

FAQ

Does it have to be a Lab?

No. Any dog, any size, any level of scruffy. The Lab is just our sample.

Can you put my dog next to a famous quarterback or a cartoon pup?

No. We don’t print celebrities, athletes, rappers or public figures, and we skip logos, brands, team or league marks and cartoon characters. Every photo should be one you took or were given the okay to use. Such orders are canceled with a refund, no exceptions.

Can I order one for me and one for my partner?

Yes. Order two shirts, each with its own photos of that person and the dog, and type the same dog name on both.
