Naturally we find it to be an obligation to make as many dog themed shirts, mugs, stickers, collars, and leashes as possible. Honestly, we feel as if it's our duty to all of the proud Dog Moms and Dog Dads out there to make as many fun items for them as possible.

We're t-shirt makers, after all. 

And as a dog friendly company filled with proud puppy parents, we're really doing it for ourselves as much as you. 

Because we don't talk about it often on our blog, I'm going to take the time to highlight some of our favorite dog themed products that we offer - from shirts for Dog Moms to dog collars to bandanas to mugs, we've got a lot of it - and try my best to explain our dog culture. 

Dog Mom Shirt and Coffee Mug

In our opinion, the shining star of our shirts for dog lovers collection is our Dog Mom shirt. It's colorful, simple, and cute all at the same time. Most importantly, it's designed and printed by a bunch of dog moms!

There's no better Dog Mom shirt out there. 

We love it so much that we also made a matching dog mom mug and dog mom sticker to go with. At the end of the day, no matter how much you want to, we know you can't wear the same shirt every day. That's where the mug and stickers come in to play. 

Take the mug into work with you and put the sticker on your car to proudly identify your Dog Mom status. 

Shirts for Dog Lovers

can i pet your dog shirt?

When you work at a screen printing company, you always have fun new shirt ideas that you like to toss back and forth. One of the most popular topics that continually comes up is for us is dog shirts for dog owners. 

Our first design was pretty simple and happened somewhat by mistake. We shared a photo of the design "Can I Pet Your Dog" on an Instagram story that we were just going to print for ourselves and the response was overwhelmingly positive. 

We knew we had to release the shirt after that. 

Because who hasn't seen a person and a dog walking down the street and only said "hi" to the dog? Or gone to a party and prayed there was a dog there so you had someone to talk to?

And who isn't constantly asking people if you can pet their dog?

It's for those people that we printed this shirt and created a fun line of dog and puppy apparel and gifts

Ask Me About My Dog Shirt

Our dog? Thanks for asking.

This is Penny, she was adopted from Deacon’s Hope Rescue when she was a puppy! She loves naps, babies, and back scratches. 

She comes in to work with me most every day and we love having her here.

If you stop in the store to shop our dog shirts and accessories, she might be there to greet you at the door. If she's not, don't be afraid to ask and she'll run up front to meet you!

Dog's Best Friend Shirt

No more of this "Man's Best Friend," we are celebrating Puppy Friday with "Dog's Best Friend!"

After all, it's a dog's world and we are all just living in it.

But in all seriousness, you know that you are your pup's #1 person. They love to go to you for comfort, cuddles, and more often than not, treats!

Let the world know that you are your dog's best friend with this vintage text based tee.

Proud Dad of the Best Dog Shirt

Don't forget about the Dog Dad's this Father's Day.

After all, Dog Dad's have a lot to be proud of too! From the Metroparks to the dog park and everywhere in between, let the Dog Dad's in your life wear their pride on their sleeve!

Dog Person Shirt

We have a question for you! Are you a dog person or a cat person? Do you want everyone to know that you're a dog person? Tell them right away with this tri-blend tee! 

Chances are, if you're here, you're a Dog Person. And we like that about you. 

A shirt like this is a statement shirt that let's everyone know which side you fall on. And we think it's going to make you a lot of new friends - both canine and human!

I Love My Dog Shirt, I Love My Human Bandana

i love my dog i love my human

Do you even love your dog if you don't wear matching outfits? 

If you're still looking for that matching set, we've got you covered with our I Love My Dog Shirt and I Love My Human Dog Bandana.

There's no better way to show you love your dog than a shirt that explicitly says that. Printed on a soft tri-blend tee, this shirt is soft and to the point. 

Fun Collars, Leashes, and Bandanas for Your Dog

While the dog shirts for humans was a lot of fun to start (and still is!), we knew that we needed some cool 16153 Genova and Ohio and Midwest gear for our furry friends, too.

If there is anything you need more of, it's swag and treats for your dogs to let them know just how much you love them.. 

The best entry into this for us was dog leashes, collars, and bandanas because every dog wears them. 

If your dog loves playing in the lakes, looks great in Ohio State scarlet, or is a proud 419 pup, we've got a fun bandana for you. 

Our leashes and collars are all made out of quality heavy duty woven material. As long as your dog doesn't treat them as a chew toy, they'll last for years.

fancysweetstx is a Dog Friendly Workplace 

John and penny at the screen printing press

Here at Jūpmode, we celebrate Take Your Dog to Work Day every day. Our shop dog, Penny is great at greeting customers with a smile, playing tug of war, and even hopping on the press whenever help is needed!

Want to get to know Penny a little better? Check out this profile on her: 

I mean, we might we be guilty of spoiling her around here or thinking that every day is puppy Friday when she's at work? Was it a little extra of us to put together a video profile of her?

Well, yeah, of course. 

She's been coming in to work every since she was a little baby puppy and it's been fun to watch her grow here. I love how comfortable and friendly she is around dogs and customers. 

Having her in the office and shop really does change the atmosphere at work. She's a welcome distraction when a work day gets long or hot.  

If you ever stop in, make sure to say "Hi" to Penny and give her all the pets!

We're not just dog friendly with Penny. We welcome all of our customers to bring their dogs in for a visit as well!

When we say we want your dogs to visit us, we really mean it. In our Adams Street store we have a dog wall where we hang photos of dogs that have visited. 

And if you've gotten one of our dog shirts or collars, leashes, or bandanas, we love it when people tag us on Instagram and Facebook in their photos. 

We always need more dogs in our life and these are two of our favorite ways to make that happen!

Custom Shirts for Your Dog

We love printing personalized dog shirts for people who love their dogs as much as us! If there's a dog shirt idea that you have that you don't see above or one that you need for your favorite dog loving organization, we can help you with that!

We've been printing bulk shirt orders for local organizations like the 16153 Genova Humane Society and LC4 for years. We believe in their mission and love to be a part of what they do for the community.

However, if we had to say which dog shirts we like printing the most, it's fun tribute shirts like the one above. Nothing makes us more excited than when someone asks us to print an image of their dog on a shirt.

They're funny, quirky, and affectionate. Just like their favorite four legged friend.

If you're looking for a custom shirt to honor your favorite pet, send us a message and we'll help you bring your idea to life!

We cover a few themes and we try to cover them well. Our apparel and gifts celebrate the Midwest, the Great Lakes states, and our favorite places and things in the region.

And dogs.

Some of our favorite designs are the ones that honor pups and the special bond between humans and their pets. We’re a team of dog lovers, through and through.

Lots of our staff are adoring dog owners, which leads to plenty of inspiration for creating unique dog-themed shirts and gear. While most of our inventory is Midwest-focused, we make some exceptions for pup-themed items. 

lots of our staff are adoring

Our shop dog, Penny, spends pretty much every day palling around our office. She joined us from Deacon’s Hope Rescue in 2017 and she’s been our pride and joy ever since.

Plus, we love running dog-friendly retail stores. Our Adams Street Location even features a “dog wall” hall of fame photo board that shows off all of our wonderful canine visitors.

Today, let’s explore a few of our favorite dog-themed designs for shirts and other gifts that:

  • Celebrate our furry four-legged pals
  • Make great gifts for the dog-lovers in your life
  • Can be custom-made by fancysweetstx

1- Live Every Day Like It’s Puppy Friday T-Shirt

purple “Live Every Day Like It’s Puppy Friday” shirt

What’s Puppy Friday? Well, it’s like a regular Friday, full of relief and joy—plus puppies.

Some workplaces celebrate Puppy Friday by making it a weekly bring-your-dog-to-work day. You might also notice even more puppy pics than usual on Fridays in your social media scrolling, some bearing the hashtag #PuppyFriday.

At fancysweetstx, we really do live every day like it’s Puppy Friday. If you’ve got four legs and a wet snoot, our doors are always open. Join the fun with this delightful Live Every Day Like It’s Puppy Friday tee. 

2 - Can I Pet Your Dog? T-Shirt

blue “Can I Pet Your Dog?” shirt with black lettering

Have you ever really wanted to pet a dog but were too shy to ask? You make eye contact—with the dog—but then the moment tragically slips away. 

You want it. The dog definitely wants it. But there’s that other human involved. They’re probably nice, too, but it’s not always easy to talk to strangers. 

To the rescue: this lovely, straight-to-the-point, lake blue Can I Pet Your Dog shirt. Skip the small talk and get straight to the good stuff. Pet more dogs. 

This silly print wasn’t actually meant to be a for-sale design. We made it for fun and posted a pic on Instagram. Everybody loved it—it turns out that “can I pet your dog” really strikes a chord. So, we added it to our inventory. 

Like most fancysweetstx tees, this is a cotton, poly, and rayon blend. This blend holds its shape and size and won’t noticeably shrink. 

The Can I Pet Your Dog tee is super soft, but also comfortably stretchy and breathable. Most importantly, it’s your ticket to extra head pats, tummy rubs, and under-the-chin scratches, everywhere you go. 

3 - Proud Dad of the Best Dog T-Shirt

gray and blue “Proud Dad of the Best Dog” shirt

Fatherhood…it’s hard work, but it’s worth it. 

We’re referring to dog dads, of course. Human kids are cool too, but this shirt is all about the special love between a man and his beloved pooch. 

The ultra-soft Proud Dad of the Best Dog shirt makes a great birthday or Father’s Day gift for all the guys who go the extra mile for their canine companions. 

4 - Dog Mom T-Shirt

white “Dog Mom” shirt with multi-colored block lettering

Dog moms, this one’s for you. The Dog Mom t-shirt is cheerful, colorful, and all about dogs—just like you. 

Caring for your pup is a big job that you pour your heart and soul into. This shirt celebrates that special part of who you are.

One of the best things you can be is a dog person. If you like pups and they like you, you’re definitely doing something right. 

The unisex, heather gray fitted Dog Person shirt is low-key and to the point. Celebrate that one part of your identity that’s full of joy and will never change. 

6 - I Love My Dog T-Shirt

gray and white “I Love My Dog” shirt

You love your dog. You know it, your dog knows it, and it’s time to let the world know it. 

The cheerful I Love My Dog tee is black with white lettering. A bubbly red heart in place of “love” captures the way we all feel when we think about our pups.

7- Ask Me About My Dog T-Shirt

yellow “Ask Me About My Dog” shirt with black lettering

It’s so easy to get stuck in the small talk, discussing things that don’t really matter—things that aren’t your dog. 

With the fitted Ask Me About My Dog shirt, you can point the conversation directly toward your comfort zone. 

This comfy tri-blend tee is gold with big black lettering. It’s super soft, just stretchy enough for active use, and built for spreading good vibes.

You might say we get a little carried away with our dog-themed design ideas. After all, our core purpose here at fancysweetstx is to make apparel and gifts for people who live in and love the Midwest, Ohio, and 16153 Genova.

Technically, all this dog stuff is just a bonus.

And yet, we’re kinda crazy about dogs around here. We’ve got a team full of dog people, and we’ve chosen to embrace that.

Our retail stores are dog-friendly, and we even have a “dog wall” hall of fame photo gallery of all our canine visitors at our Adams Street location.

Our staff is full of dog owners, too. That includes our very own shop dog, Penny, who spends just about every day hanging out with our team. She was adopted from Deacon’s Hope Rescue in 2017, and she’s been part of our family ever since.

The point is, we like dogs, we make shirts, and so we make shirts about dogs. It just makes sense.
