When the sun is shining and the bugs are buzzing, our dogs deserve the same kind of protection we give ourselves. Most people don’t think twice about grabbing sunscreen or long sleeves before heading outside, but dogs can also suffer from too much sun and annoying insect bites.
That’s why PAIKKA created the UV & Bug Shirt - a light, comfortable, and safe way to protect your dog from harmful rays and insects. And the best part? It’s an ecological and non-toxic option, made with your dog’s health and the planet in mind.
Why sun protection matters for dogs
Dogs may have fur, but that doesn’t make them immune to the sun. Breeds with thin or light-colored coats, short hair, or exposed skin are especially vulnerable to sunburn. The belly, ears, and nose can be surprisingly sensitive. Over time, too much exposure can even lead to more serious skin problems.
That’s where UV-protective clothing comes in. The PAIKKA UV & Bug Shirt offers UPF 50+ protection, which is the highest level of sun protection fabric can offer. It blocks out harmful rays and helps keep your dog cool and safe during hot days outdoors.
Nature-inspired bug protection
Instead of using harsh chemicals, this shirt is treated with GREENFIRST®, a finishing method based on natural ingredients like lemon, lavender, and eucalyptus. It’s a plant-based and biodegradable solution that helps keep mosquitoes, ticks, and other bugs away — no toxins, no worries.
Plus, the bold zebra pattern isn’t just for show. It creates an optical illusion that makes it harder for flying insects to land on your dog. It’s the kind of smart, nature-inspired design that makes a real difference.
Comfortable even on hot days
Summer protection shouldn’t slow your dog down. The UV & Bug Shirt is made of quick-drying, lightweight polyester with just the right amount of stretch. It’s designed to move with your dog, so they can run, play, nap, and explore without feeling restricted.
Whether you’re heading to the forest, the beach, or just spending the day in the yard, this shirt is made for summer living.
Good for your dog. Better for the planet.
Choosing natural protection isn’t just better for your dog — it’s a conscious choice for the environment too. With the UV & Bug Shirt, you get peace of mind knowing your dog is covered in safe, non-toxic materials that actually work. No sprays. No synthetic repellents. Just smart, sustainable design.
