Dog hats designed for outdoor adventures and maximum dog-parent energy.
You wouldn’t step outside without sunglasses or a hat on a blazing hot day, right? So why should your dog?
Dogs might not complain, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel the heat. A well-made dog hat isn’t just about turning heads at the park (though, let’s be honest, that’s a nice bonus). It protects their sensitive eyes from the sun, helps them stay warm when temperatures drop, and, let’s face it, makes them look adorable.
If you’ve ever bought a dog hat only for your pup to shake it off immediately, you know that fit and comfort are everything. Here’s what to look for:
At Besties Pets, we design personalized dog hats that are as functional as they are stylish—because your pup deserves both.
If your pup loves playing outdoors, you can go for a stylish sun hat for dogs to shield its eyes and keep it cool. It's perfect for hikes, beach days, or afternoon strolls.
Let’s be honest—some hats are just for the ‘aww’ factor. Whether it’s a birthday, a special event, or a photoshoot for their Instagram fans, a stylish cotton hat adds charm.
There are plenty of hats for dogs out there, but here’s why pet parents love ours:
Are dog hats safe for all breeds?
Yes! Dog hats can be a playful and practical addition for dogs of every shape and size. Finding the right fit and design for your dog's breed is the secret. Flat-nosed breeds such as Pugs, Bulldogs, and Shih Tzus can benefit from designs that rest securely without obstructing breathing. Small breeds such as Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and Dachshunds go best with lightweight, close-fitting hats. For bigger dogs such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds, adjustable straps will ensure their hat remains secure on any adventure. The right fit means any pup can pull off a cool, cozy hat!
Which are the best materials for dog hats?
The most comfortable dog hats are made from lightweight, breathable materials such as cotton, mesh, or canvas to provide comfort and ventilation on any excursion. Our hats are crafted to be fashionable, long-lasting, and convenient, making them ideal for sunny days, outdoor excursions, and daily play!
How do I measure my dog’s head for the right hat size?
The right fit keeps your pup comfortable and fashionable in their new hat! Simply follow these easy steps:
✅ Measure Head Circumference: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the crown of your dog's head, above the ears. This is the head size measurement required for the size chart.
✅ Measure Ear Distance: Measure from the base of one ear to the other across the crown of the head. This helps you understand the correct fit for dogs with differing ear positions.
Pro Tip: If your fur baby has extremely fluffy fur or is between two sizes, size up for the best fit! Adjustable straps allow you to customize the fit further.
Use our sizing chart to get the perfect fit, and have your dog test out their new hat indoors first to ensure they're comfortable with it!
Will my dog keep the hat on?
All dogs are unique, but most pups can get used to wearing a hat with the proper introduction. Here are some tips to help make the introduction as smooth as possible:
If your dog hesitates initially, don't worry—patience and positive reinforcement can go a long way!
Will this hat fit my dog?
Our dog hats feature adjustable straps to help get a secure, comfortable fit. Fit can vary by breed and head shape, so we recommend checking the size details and photos before ordering.
