Custom pet ears sweatshirts, T-shirts, baby onesies, kid's apparel, and more
Looking for a sweatshirt with a simple, sleek design to honor your pets? OllieandPenny does that by creating items that only feature the outline of ears and the top of their head, creating a silhouette image that's flowy and original. You choose the color of the shirt as well as the color of the design and can personalize this with their name if you like. Unlike the other items on this list, this one allows choosers to pick from a set of pre-drawn ears according to breed rather than render the image from an original photograph, so be sure to list the breed type that's closest to your dog's ears when ordering this shirt.
