Dog Memorial Sweatshirt: Embroidered Dog Portrait with a Flower Wreath and Name

This dog memorial sweatshirt keeps the dog you miss close: we stitch its face from your favorite photo, frame it with the flower wreath you choose and add its name in soft script below. Every detail is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed, and the design works just as well for a cat or for a pet who is still by your side.

What is on the dog memorial sweatshirt?

The dog memorial sweatshirt carries one design in 3 parts:

• The portrait: your dog’s face embroidered from your photo, with its real markings and eye color.
• The flower wreath: two sprays of flowers or leaves curving under the portrait, from 20 numbered styles such as white daisies, blue cornflowers, an olive branch or holly with a bow.
• The name: up to 12 characters in script lettering between the two sprays, in the thread color you pick. Leave it blank for the portrait and wreath only.

On the center chest the design is about 7 inches wide, as in the photos; on the left or right chest it is a smaller version, about 3.5 inches wide.

How do you choose a flower wreath?

To choose a wreath, find its number on the flower wreath chart in the photos and pick the same number in the options. The photos show 3 of them:

• Wreath 4, White Daisies: with Gus on a Forest Green sweatshirt.
• Wreath 15, Yellow Wildflowers: with Mangchi on Sand.
• Wreath 9, Olive Branch: with Kaydo on a heather gray sweatshirt.

Soft wreaths such as daisies, blush fern or olive suit a memorial piece worn all year, while wreaths 18 and 19, with red berries and a bow, make a gentle holiday keepsake.

How do you personalize your sweatshirt?

To personalize your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the garment, color and size in the options above.
• Pick the position: center chest as shown, or the left or right chest.
• Type your dog’s name and choose its thread color from 24 colors, or leave the name blank.
• Choose a flower wreath by its number on the chart.
• Upload 1 to 4 clear photos of your dog, facing the camera with both eyes visible.

Which garment and color should you choose?

The design comes on 4 garments, each with its own color list:

• Crewneck sweatshirt ($53.85): 8 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Hoodie ($63): 20 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Quarter zip ($59): 13 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• T-shirt ($43): 20 colors, sizes S to 4XL.

Pick a garment color that contrasts with your dog’s fur and the wreath. A white name reads best on Forest Green, Navy or Maroon, and a black name on Sand, White or Light Pink. Your free proof shows the exact combination before we stitch.

Is it a good gift for someone who lost a dog?

Yes. A memorial sweatshirt with the dog’s own face and name is a gift the person can wear and keep, rather than store in a drawer. Order it in their usual size and favorite color, and if you only have a few phone photos, send the clearest ones; your proof shows how the portrait will look. The same design also makes a birthday or adoption-day gift for a dog who is still with you.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof within 1–2 business days, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt in 1–3 business days and ship it from the USA, so it arrives 3–8 business days after approval (U.S. delivery).

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is personalized and made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Compare the measurements with a top you already own in our size guide before you order, and size up for a roomy, oversized fit.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order it for a cat?

Yes. The dog memorial sweatshirt works for any pet: upload a photo of your cat, type its name, and we stitch its face with the wreath you choose.

Is the portrait printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The portrait, wreath and name are all stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can I add more than one pet?

This design holds one pet. For up to 4 pets, see the multi-pet portrait sweatshirt, or the embroidered dog ears sweatshirt with a halo for each dog who has passed. More designs are in our pet memorial sweatshirts.
