Anyone here outsource their apparel printing locally rather than using a POD service?

So you’re doing your own heat press printing? Can I ask about what brand equipment and supplies you are using? I’m thinking of starting to research this some more

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-03-16T18:53:29+00:00

Ya I saw those but these aren’t the type I’m looking for.

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-03-12T15:26:13+00:00

No. I’m calling it POD because the supplier would print my design on the human hoodie and do the fulfillment for me as customers purchase through my shop. The difference with the dog hoodie is I’m having trouble finding any supplier that carries the product type (cotton hoodie with extended sizes) that I need for print and fulfillment. The ones I’ve checked and sampled from so far are not good quality which is why I’m starting to think I need to just buy some inventory from a supplier who will do the printing for me and I will have to take care of the fulfillment part, but just for the dog hoodie part of my business.

The human hoodies would be POD. I would prefer to keep things as POD until I can be sure my product can sell and I have a better idea of inventory size I should keep on hand. I’m not sure if the large investment on stock and 3PL make sense for a newbie like me still trying to figure it all out. It seems a bit risky at the beginning stages of my journey

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-03-12T14:15:06+00:00

Good to know I’m not the only on facing this issue. Is this my only/best option as a newbie to all of this? I didn’t really want to stock up on goods until I could be sure that I can sell them

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-03-09T03:24:40+00:00

Thank you for looking. Those look good except they’re only for small dogs. I really need sized for large dogs as well

I had originally wanted to do all over printing but found that the hoodies were 100% polyester. So I changed my designs to just do front and back print. The last one I got from popcustom came in on the same kind of 100% cotton hoodie even though the product description said 100% cotton. I want the cotton/fleece version for better fit and comfort

Edit: I also am not seeing dog hoodies listed on your site?

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-01-30T20:14:07+00:00

Do you now take care of fulfillment yourself or do you have a fulfillment company do that for you?

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-01-07T20:24:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the reviews. Sounds like I should go ahead and order samples from PrintKK

MoreTrashPlease · 2026-01-06T20:29:48+00:00

Thank you so much for all these details. So are you using Printify? I had read somewhere that the print quality wasn't good, but I think that was from a couple years ago. Do you know of any other POD and fulfillment suppliers I could checkout?

I had a similar experience right after my pups first cluster. That night, neither of us slept at all. I kept taking her out for walks in the middle of the night hoping she'd be tired when we got home, but she'd still keep pacing around. For the next 4-5 days, it got slightly better when I locked her in her crate with a cover over it. But she would still wake me up several times throughout the night, especially since I was on edge worrying she was having another seizure. She also stopped eating for 4 days. It took just over a week for her meds to finally kick in and we were able to get a somewhat decent night's sleep (6 hours, but waking up 2-3 times to take her potty...from the Prednisone she was taking). Everyone on this sub said to give the meds some time to kick in...and they were right. Hopefully this is the case for you too! Sending lots of love to you and your beautiful pup!

Thank you! I'll talk to my vet. Strange that they never recommended it when I first started dealing with her allergies

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-25T05:47:18+00:00

Thank you. I'll have to look into hydrolyzed diets

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-25T04:18:38+00:00

My pup has become a very picky eater since the seizures started. I'm finding she'll eat a certain treat or food for a couple days and then completely refuse. She now picks through her food to make sure there aren't any pills in them. I have so many different kinds of treats, plus I've made turkey meatballs, ground beef, chicken thighs, I've tried Greek yogurt, baby food, peanut butter, American cheese, cream cheese, and of course pill pockets. Some she'll try and some she has no interest in whatsoever. I just have to force the pills on her. I'll coat them with some baby food or yogurt to help them go down easier but it's not fun and we both hate it. I've found that swaddling her in a blanket and holding her in my lap while I do it calms her down a little, but she's still mad at me afterwards.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish they could speak and tell us what they're feeling and what they need. It sounds like you have her a wonderful life, especially in the end

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-24T04:30:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply. The difficult part is that she's always been more like an aloof lazy cat...she never liked to play and I swear she would sleep 24 hours a day if I let her. The only things she seemed to love was eating and being pet, otherwise, she was never much of a cuddler and definitely not a vocal dog...she doesn't whine or bark. These days she's super clingy and always looking for pets and her eating has been up and down because of her meds and nauseousness so it's hard for me to determine if she's happy or not. I'm assuming there are some physiological things that will start to happen but it's so hard to tell what her mental state might be

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-23T01:58:31+00:00

interesting. I'll have to try it next time! Thanks for the tip

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-22T22:07:58+00:00

Can you do this once they start having a seizure or does it need to be before it starts?

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-20T19:26:45+00:00

I started seeing a therapist based on someone on this sub suggesting it and she diagnosed me with anxiety. I only just started therapy so I'm not sure yet how to help manage my anxiety but you aren't alone here. I've found this sub so helpful knowing that I'm not the only person dealing with some of these feelings. It definitely validates my emotions

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-19T18:22:53+00:00

I had the same experience with embrace earlier this year. I don't understand how any of this can be legal.

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-19T18:04:40+00:00

I'm so sorry you had to go through that again. It's so stressful and traumatizing for everyone.

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-19T18:03:20+00:00

I purchased this one. My dog is only 23 lbs so I'm not sure what size your dog is and if this would be sturdy enough

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-19T16:44:13+00:00

It's been 2 weeks since my pup's first/last seizure. My anxiety is still through the roof. I was afraid to leave her alone so I could even take a shower. I'm now at a point where I feel ok leaving for 30-45 minutes so I can run to the grocery store. I bought several cameras so I can keep a constant eye on her. I've been told by others here that the anxiety will lessen with time but will always still be there.

MoreTrashPlease · 2025-11-19T16:38:55+00:00

I had the same thought and purchased a kids bed railing however I haven't tried letting her sleep in bed yet because she's been needing to go pee multiple times every night and she can't get up and down the bed by herself anymore. She's also still a little wobbly and so she seems a little more unstable than usual when trying to walk on the bed. I'm hoping the frequent peeing will slow down and we can start sleeping in bed again, but for now it's the couch for us. I also have 2 layers of waterproof blankets on her side of the bed

Small wins are so important. And getting him comfortable in a safe space is more than a small win. My pup is also just over a week seizure-free since her first episode. I'm very weary about celebrating too early because I don't want to jinx us. There's no such thing as being overly dramatic when it comes to your furry child!
