Everything we have learned since 1999 about dressing dogs in bodysuits, for every Houndz in the Hood breed line: Italian Greyhound, Dachshund, Whippet, Miniature, Toy & Teacup, and Pug, Boston Terrier & French Bulldog. A four-leg bodysuit covers the chest, belly and legs, stretches on with no zippers or velcro, and has an opening for the leash. These guides help you choose the right line, size and fabric for your dog and your weather.
From Houndz in the Hood, based on the fitting notes of founder Terri Goodwillie, who has made breed-fitted dog clothes in New York City since 1999. Updated October 2026.
