Pug, French Bulldog and Boston Terrier Clothes Guide › Gifts for Pug, French Bulldog and Boston Terrier Owners
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: a breed-fitted bodysuit is the gift that gets used. Give the Heavy Fleece Bodysuit ($60) to a dog with cold winter walks ahead, or the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit ($52) for chilly days, the house and travel.
The main gift: a bodysuit
- Heavy Fleece Bodysuits ($60): thick, warm fleece for cold, windy winter walks. It resists wind and repels rain and snow, and covers the whole body including the chest and legs. Outside wear only.
- Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits ($52): midweight fleece that resists wind and rain, for chilly walks, lounging, sleeping and trips.
A bodysuit is the better choice over a sweater or coat because it covers the chest, belly and all four legs, and it stretches to go on with no velcro, zippers or clasps.
Gift sets
| Set | Total | US shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy Fleece Bodysuits + Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits | $112 | $11 |
| Heavy Fleece Bodysuits + Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits + Heavyweight Sweatshirts | $144 | Free |
| Two Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits | $104 | $11 |
US shipping is free on orders of $125 or more, handy if you are buying for more than one dog.
Small extras to add
- Heavyweight Sweatshirts ($32): heavy fleeced cotton for travel and lounging.
- Heavy Fleece Sweaters ($42): soft, thick fleece with a turtleneck; even the knit-look styles are fleece and won’t itch.
These are fun to unwrap, but pair them with a bodysuit for walks.
Getting the size right for someone else’s dog
- Ask the owner for the dog’s back length and chest girth (see how to measure), plus age and breed.
- Compare with the size chart:
| Size | Length | Girth (chest) |
|---|---|---|
| PS | 13-15" | 19-21" |
| PM/PL | 14-16" | 22-24" |
| PL/PXL | 16-17" | 24-27" |
- Between sizes? Write the chest size in the order comments, or contact us before ordering.
- Returns and exchanges are accepted within 14 days by mail, and we re-ship size exchanges of up to 2 garments free in the US.
Which bodysuit to give
- They live somewhere with cold, windy winters: the Heavy Fleece Bodysuits, for walks. Add an Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits if your budget allows, for fall, spring and the house.
- Their winters are mild: the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits, which can be worn all winter long in mildly cold regions.
- They travel, hike or camp with their dog: the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits, made for those adventures.
- Not sure? The Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit can be worn inside and out, so it suits most weather and the house.
Why it makes a good gift
Pugs, Boston Terriers and French Bulldogs can be hard to fit because of their shape. A garment from a line sized just for these breeds, sewn in New York City’s garment district and checked by hand before it ships, solves that.
