Dog Coats - Custom or Store Bought?

No matter whether you have the most common dog breed around, one that’s rare, or a Heinz 57, a custom dog coat can be made to fit the dog you have.


Have you ever gone into Petsmart, Petco, ........whatever local shops that carry dog clothes.  Or maybe you’ve shopped Amazon. You want to take care of your pup by keeping them comfy but can’t find what you or your dog wanted?  Maybe a custom coat would be exactly what you need.


Five reasons to buy custom:

1)  You have a dog that is not the "average" size; say a dachshund, a pug, a great dane........  They are the right size for the breed but the breed isn't the "average" size.  A custom coat can be made in the dimensions of your particular dog, no matter how they’re built.


2)  You want a coat that is made well and meant to last a long time.  Custom coats from Made by De are made by me, with attention to detail that just can’t be provided in factories

Giant breeds like this Leonberger can be difficult to fit for anything, even though they have needs too. That’s when a custom product can really help.

3)  You need specific features for your dog coat; reflective strips, a hood, a turtleneck.  A custom coat can be made with any of these features.


4)   You have special needs for a coat, such as needing to use a harness or having a therapy dog.  A custom coat can be made to accommodate special needs.

5)  You want something unique, something that not every dog owner has.  A custom coat is made just for you and your dog, not mass-produced.

Some dogs have special needs that can best be addressed with a custom product, like this slinky for grooming.



If these reasons sound interesting, take a look at Made by De and find TONS of great stuff.  Usually the cost is comparable to the store bought coats. Any extra cost is well worth it because your dog will have a coat that is made well, fits well and is comfortable for your dog.
