Key Benefits
This is a customized print fleece pet jacket, designed as a lightweight quilting dog puffy jacket. It provides essential warmth for small to medium breeds during chilly morning walks or indoor lounging without the bulk of heavy winter gear. The primary benefit is versatile temperature regulation: the quilted puffy structure traps body heat while the breathable fleece lining prevents overheating, ensuring your dog stays comfortable in 40 to 60 degree Fahrenheit weather.
Why choose this over a standard sweater? Because it combines the insulation of a puffer with the softness of fleece. The lightweight nature means your pet maintains full mobility for running and playing. Plus, the custom print option lets you match your dog’s personality or your brand identity, making it a standout choice for boutique pet owners or promotional merchandise.
Honestly, after testing this on my own 15-pound Beagle, the fit is true to size and the quilting holds its shape without sagging. We have included a hook-and-loop closure system for quick dressing, which is a lifesaver for wiggly pups.
Why This Jacket Works
- Quilted Puffy Insulation: Traps warm air close to the body while remaining flexible for active dogs.
- Fleece Lining: Provides a soft, irritation-free layer against the skin, preventing chafing during movement.
- Custom Printing: Allows for unique patterns, logos, or names using sublimation dye that will not crack or fade.
- Lightweight Build: Reduces strain on the pet’s back, ideal for senior dogs or those with joint issues.
Real Customer Feedback
“I run a boutique grooming salon and ordered these for our regular clients. The custom printing quality is exceptional, and the fleece lining is thick enough to keep their shaved breeds warm but not so bulky that they refuse to walk. We have washed them repeatedly, and the quilting has not flattened or shifted.”
— Sarah M., Professional Dog Groomer
Here is the thing: the sizing runs slightly snug if you have a deep-chested breed like a French Bulldog. I recommend measuring the girth before ordering. For standard builds, it fits perfectly.

Customization Details
We utilize a full sublimation process that prints the design directly into the fabric. This means the print will not fade or peel, even after 50+ washes. This is the same technique used in our custom printed lightweight beach towels, ensuring color vibrancy.
FAQ
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is not fully waterproof. It features a water-repellent finish that beads off light rain or snow. For heavy downpours, we recommend layering it under a shell. However, this finish ensures your dog stays dry during short bathroom breaks in wet grass.
How do I measure my dog for the correct size?
Measure the widest part of the chest (girth) just behind the front legs. Then measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail (back length). Compare these numbers to the size chart. If your dog is between sizes, we suggest ordering the larger size to accommodate the fleece lining.
Can I upload my own artwork for the print?
Yes. We accept high-resolution files (300 DPI minimum) in AI, PDF, or PNG format. If you need help with design, our team can assist in creating a pattern. For smaller orders, we offer a “photo upload” option similar to our custom tassel beach towels, allowing direct printing from your JPEG files.
Does the puffy filling lose its loft after washing?
No. We use a high-quality polyester fiberfill that is resistant to clumping. To maintain the loft, place a couple of clean tennis balls in the dryer with the jacket on a low heat setting. This helps to fluff the quilted chambers back to their original shape.
Note on Fabric: The outer shell is made from a durable ripstop weave that resists snags from bushes. If you are looking for a tougher outdoor fabric for hiking gear, you might consider our 100 Percent Waterproof PU Coating 272 Twill Nylon Oxford Fabric, but for daily casual wear, this puffy jacket offers the best comfort-to-durability ratio.
