Pug, French Bulldog and Boston Terrier Clothes Guide › What Should a Pug, French Bulldog or Boston Terrier Wear at Home and on Trips?
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.
Short answer: the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit ($52). It is the one bodysuit in this line made to wear inside as well as out, for lounging and sleeping at home and for traveling, hiking and camping.
At home
If your house runs cool, the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit gives your dog full coverage of the chest, belly and all four legs while lounging and sleeping. Its midweight fleece is soft and comfortable, and because it stretches to go on, with no velcro, zippers or clasps, there is nothing to dig in when your dog curls up.
Leave the Heavy Fleece Bodysuits for outdoors. It is for outside wear only, so take it off when you come in.
Car rides and trips
Traveling with your Pug, Frenchie or Boston? The Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit goes from the car to a rest-stop walk to a hotel room without changing. It resists wind and rain outside and is comfortable inside, and it is machine washable in cool water and tumble dry on low, which helps on the road.
Hiking and camping
The Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit is made for those adventures, too. It is comfortable for walking and playing, covers the whole body including the legs, and has discreet leash openings on the back so the harness stays on.
Indoor and travel styles compared
| Style | Fabric | Coverage | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits | Midweight fleece | Chest, belly and all four legs | $52 |
| Heavyweight Sweatshirts | Heavy fleeced cotton | Upper body | $32 |
| Heavy Fleece Sweaters | Soft, thick fleece | Chest and front legs | $42 |
The bodysuit is the better choice because it covers the whole body. The Heavyweight Sweatshirts is made for traveling, lounging and sleeping too, and makes a handy extra for a quick change while the bodysuit is in the wash.
Why two Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits is a good plan
A suit worn at home, in the car and on walks will need washing. With two, one is always ready. Two Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits come to $104; add a sweatshirt and your order is over $125, so US shipping is free.
Cold-weather trips
Heading somewhere with real winter? Pack a Heavy Fleece Bodysuits ($60) for the outdoor walks and keep the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit for the car and the room. The Heavy Fleece Bodysuit resists wind, repels rain and snow, and is designed for walking, running in the snow and going to the bathroom, but it is for outside wear only.
Packing list
- Two Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits, so one is always clean
