This custom dog valentine shirt makes your pup the headliner: the dog’s name in big chrome block letters, a script Be my Valentine line right under it, and a collage of your own pet photos filling the rest of a personalized tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
Is it a dog mom shirt or a Valentine’s shirt?
Both, honestly. It reads like 90s concert merch, except the act is the one who steals your side of the bed. People wear it for February photos with the dog, then keep wearing it as an everyday dog mom shirt because, well, it’s their dog.
The art, piece by piece
Our sample stars a fluffy white Maltese with a red bow. She hugs a heart plush, sits in a basket of roses, models a tiny red sweater and gets caught mid-zoomie on the kitchen floor.
Your version swaps in your own dog, with the same lightning glow around the cutouts. The name on top changes to your pet’s, and Be my Valentine stays in script beneath it.
The design comes in 15 colorways, so a black lab, a golden or a gray pit mix can each get a glow that suits their coat.
Who it’s for
The usual buyer is a dog mom whose real Valentine sleeps on her side of the bed. Her Maltese has more heart sweaters than she does, and she wants a February shirt that’s about the dog, not a couple.
If the dog owns more heart sweaters than she does, the photos for the collage are basically already taken.
Give him a dog dad present for February, since he’s going to spend the day cuddling the dog anyway.
She posts the new dog daily, which means she has plenty of photos and a first Valentine’s together to mark.
Instead of candy, the pet lover in the office gets her own dog on a tee.
Wear it during the shoot, so the pictures come out with the dog twice.
Setting up your custom dog Valentine shirt
- Pick a garment and size. Tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie.
- Choose colors. Shirt color first, then the design colorway from 1 to 15.
- Upload 3 to 8 photos of your dog. Sharp shots with the face in view; one clear head-on picture usually becomes the big center image. These replace the Maltese on the listing.
- Type the dog’s name. Spell it exactly as it should appear, then check out.
When the dog is your real Valentine
- Valentine’s shirts assume your date is a person
- Dog Valentine merch uses clip-art paws and generic puppies
- The heart-sweater photo shoot gets one post and disappears
Plenty of people would pick the dog as their Valentine, and they’re not joking. Your dog’s name glows in chrome over heart-plush and red-sweater photos, with Be my Valentine in script so the holiday is clear.
Example: hoodie, size M, colorway 5, name “Coco”, six photos including one in her Valentine’s sweater.

Can I put two dogs on one shirt?
Yes, upload photos of both and type both names on the name line, like Coco & Max. Short names fit best.
Can my cat be the star instead?
Sure. The layout works for any pet; the Be my Valentine line stays the same.
Are there photos you won’t print?
We don’t print celebrities, celebrity pets or other public figures, and we skip logos, brand names, team marks and cartoon characters. Upload only pictures you took or may use. An order with that kind of content is canceled, and you get your money back in full.
