As an avid animal lover, and Georgia SPCA volunteer I'm thrilled to be able to partner with Kroger and Purina Dog Chow Natural, for today’s Easy No-sew Recycled Dog T-shirt DIY. Dogs and cats are blurring the lines between “pets” and people. People like me, consider dogs and cats as individuals. My “pets” play a unique role in my family. They are part of our emotional life and their role is much deeper than just companionship. They are family and will always hold a special place in our hearts. 

Having four "pets" at home can add up quickly, especially if you are also bringing dogs and cats from the shelter to foster. In order to save some money I have learned a few tricks and today's DIY is one of my favorites.
My long hair Chihuahua has a chronic skin condition that makes him itchy and all the time and is causing him to loose hair on the back because he is always pulling it out. When it gets really bad, the vet gives him a cortisone injection and that seems to do the trick. When he wears shirts for some reason it seems to calm him down so I always try to have a few around the house. Now, doggie shirt are not cheap even if you buy them on clearance. Someone at the shelter once told me to just buy a baby onesie and cut it. You can find baby onesies on clearance everywhere. 

They usually come in packets of three. For the price of one regular price shirt you can make easily 3 doggie shirts from your one onesie packet.

The tutorial is super simple.

Materials you will use:

• 1 onesie (I have a fat Chihuahua so for this tutorial I'm using 0-6 months size)
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Pencil or pen

Step 1: Fit the onesie on your dog inside out. If it comes with a graphic make sure the graphic is on the back of the dog).

Step 2: Trace with the pencil the areas where you want to cut it. I need mine to be really long on the back and short on the belly section.

Step 3: Cut the bottom half as neatly as possible since we are not sewing the hem and make sure you remove the tag.

These no-sew doggie shirts come really handy when you bathe your dogs, especially during winter.
