Gingham Pet Pajama Shirt with Collar and Buttons

This pajama shirt gives small dogs and cats a bit of fun loungewear. It is cut from thin polyester, which makes it a light layer for spring and summer, with a collar edged in dark piping, a button front and sleeves with matching trim. It comes in a navy plaid or a white grid gingham.

Sizes run XS to XL. Bust measures 11.8, 13.8, 15.7, 17.7 and 19.7 in (30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 cm), and back lengths are 7.9, 9.8, 11.8, 13.8 and 15.7 in (20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 cm). Because it is a garment with sleeves, go by chest size first, then check the back length. Weights are only a rough guide, and body shapes and coat thickness differ from pet to pet, so allow about an inch (2 to 3 cm) for measuring differences, and choose the larger size if your pet falls between two.

Put it on over your pet's head and guide the front legs through the sleeves, then fasten the buttons gently. It is a light shirt rather than a warm layer, so it will not add much insulation. Keep an eye on your pet while it is wearing the shirt, and take it off if it gets caught or your pet seems bothered. Machine or hand wash gently in cool water and let it air dry.
