Matching dog and owner pajamas for the holiday card

The dog's pajama sets the theme for the holiday card this year, and Good Thomas builds two prints around it, Santa Sleighs and Fun Fam Surfing Santa, both matched to kid sizes so the whole card comes from one small order. Neither print needs much of a plan beyond picking the size chart that fits your family.

Two holiday prints, sized to the dog first

The dog's Santa Sleighs Pajama comes in dog sizes XS for 5 to 10 pound dogs, S for 11 to 16 pound dogs, and M for 17 to 28 pound dogs, matched to kid sizes S for 6 to 9 months through XL for 3 to 4 years. The dog's Fun Fam Surfing Santa Pajama runs a wider dog range, XS through L for 29 to 40 pound dogs, and adds men's and kid sizes, sold as a onesie, a top, or a full set.

What the fabric is

The dog's Santa Sleighs Pajama is a cotton fabric with an exposed zipper and ribbing at the cuffs. The dog's Fun Fam Surfing Santa Pajama uses a cotton blend instead, and comes as a onesie, a top, or a full set depending on which piece fits the shot you want. The dog's Sweet Dreams Pajamas carry an embroidered cherry print on a checker background, which is not a holiday print but reads fine in a plain family photo.

Weigh the dog, then size the kids

The dog's weight sets the size first, since that is the only measurement Good Thomas gives for the dog's piece. Once the dog's row is picked, the matching kid size sits next to it by age on the same chart, from 6 to 9 months up through 3 to 4 years.

Choosing between the two prints

The dog's Santa Sleighs Pajama fits a card with a dog and kids and stops there, since adult sizes are not offered on this print. The dog's Fun Fam Surfing Santa Pajama fits a wider card, since it adds a men's size on top of the dog and kid sizes, so it works better for a card that includes a dad.

A plain matching option for the grown-ups

The dog's Sweet Dreams Pajamas pair with a unisex adult size when the card needs a parent in the photo too, not only the kids. It isn't a holiday print, so the dog's piece here works for a matching photo any time of year.

Where the photo happens

A matching set reads best against a plain spot, a couch, a doorway, or next to a tree, rather than a busy background that competes with the print. That part has nothing to do with sizing, but it is the other half of getting a card that actually gets mailed.

In the Gear aisle

The dog's current holiday sets are in matching dog and owner pajamas, with more of the line on the Good Thomas page and other picks in holiday dog gifts. The dog's pajama and its matching kid or adult piece ship directly to you through Shopify Collective, with their own tracking, separate from our treats, which ship from our kitchen in Malvern, Pennsylvania.

The dog holds still for the card longer with a reason to. A freeze-dried treat out of frame works for that.

Questions

Does the dog's pajama come in adult sizes too?

The dog's Santa Sleighs Pajama is dog and kid sizes only. The dog's Fun Fam Surfing Santa Pajama adds men's sizes, and the dog's Sweet Dreams Pajamas add a unisex adult size, so check the options on each listing before you order.

How do I size the dog's pajama?

By weight. The dog's Santa Sleighs Pajama runs XS for 5 to 10 pound dogs, S for 11 to 16 pound dogs, and M for 17 to 28 pound dogs. Weigh the dog first, then match the row.

Can I order just the dog's piece without the matching kid or adult piece?

Yes. The dog's size and each matching fit are separate listings, so you can order only the dog's pajama if that is all the card needs, and add the matching kid or adult piece later in the same print if the card grows.
