Dog Mom Icons Shirt: Embroidered Chocolate Lab, Tennis Ball, Treats and Paw Prints

This dog mom icons shirt lines up the things that fill a dog mom’s day in one row across the chest: a pile of bone-shaped treats, a yellow tennis ball, a smiling chocolate Lab with floppy ears and a pink tongue, two paw prints and a green bowl full of kibble. Below the icons, the words DOG MOM are stitched in clean serif capitals. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt that you can make your own: keep the words or type your own, choose their thread color, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the dog mom icons shirt?

The dog mom icons shirt has 2 parts:

• The front: a row of five icons, treats, a tennis ball, a chocolate Lab face, paw prints and a food bowl, above the words DOG MOM, centered on the chest.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Can you change the words or the thread color?

Yes, both are free. Leave the custom text box empty to keep DOG MOM, or type your own short line, such as DOG DAD, LAB MOM, DOG GRANDMA or your dog’s name, and we stitch it in the same capitals under the icons. The words and paw prints are stitched in white on the dark colors and in black on the other colors, as in the photos; to change the color of the words, pick another one from the thread color chart in the photos, such as Prussian Blue, Emerald Green or Dark Brown. The treats, ball, dog and bowl keep their colors. Your free design proof shows the words and colors before we stitch.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order. The photos are previews of the design on each color.

The chocolate Lab stands out most on the light and bright colors and on the darkest colors, while on deep brown colors the brown face sits closer to the fabric.

Is it a lab mom shirt?

Yes. The dog in the middle is a chocolate Lab, so it doubles as a lab mom shirt, and type LAB MOM in the custom text box to say it outright. For a chocolate lab mom shirt that is also a gift for a Lab owner, add the dog’s name on the sleeve. The dog itself stays a chocolate Lab; for a different breed, see the FAQ below.

Is it a dog mom tee you can wear every day?

Yes. A soft dog mom tee goes with jeans or shorts for walks, errands and the dog park, and it layers under an open flannel or cardigan in fall. The icons are cheerful without being loud, and the design has no holiday details, so it works all year.

How do you order your T-shirt?

To order your T-shirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the T-shirt color and size in the options above.
• Leave the custom text empty to keep DOG MOM, or type your own short line.
• Pick a thread color for the words, or keep As shown.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery, and if you do, type the name or initials and pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one short sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your dog’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread reads best on dark shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The Dog Mom Icons sweatshirt puts the same design on a crewneck sweatshirt, with the same custom text and thread color options; the options above are all for the T-shirt.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. It suits a new puppy owner, a friend who talks about her dog all day, or a mom whose dog sleeps on the bed, and it makes an easy gift for Mother’s Day, a birthday or a summer celebration. Change the words to DOG DAD or DOG GRANDMA for someone else in the family, add the dog’s name on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our dog mom gifts.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your T-shirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For a birthday or holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a T-shirt you already own before you order, and size up if you want an oversized look or are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered T-shirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors, and use only non-chlorine bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Skip the dry cleaner, and if you iron, iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Are the icons printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. Every icon and letter is stitched in thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the dog look like my own dog?

This chocolate Lab is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, browse our custom dog shirts.

Is there a DOG DAD version?

Yes. Type DOG DAD in the custom text box and we stitch it under the same icons, and you can find more short-sleeve designs in our embroidered pet T-shirts.
