Lite Sweatshirt Dog Sling – Lightweight Cotton Mix

For the days fleece feels like too much: the café that's warmer than expected, the spring walk, the train with the heating on full. Your dog still gets their favourite spot, close against you, and you don't end up overheating.

The Lite Sweatshirt Dog Sling is made from a soft cotton-mix sweatshirt fabric that's lighter and more breathable than fleece, in five easy colours: Natural, Charcoal, Sage, Petrol and Pink. Like all Hugo and Ted slings, it has a wide strap to spread the weight and a pouch that shapes itself around your dog.

Why you'll love it

• Lightweight, breathable cotton-mix fabric
• Five colours that go with everything
• Wide shoulder strap for comfortable carrying
• Machine washable on a gentle cycle

Choosing your size

• Standard: the one to pick if you're unsure, and it suits most adults. Ready made and dispatched within 5 working days.
• Petite: a shorter strap so your dog sits higher, for petite or smaller-framed owners. Made to order, so allow 10–12 working days.
• Long Strap: extra strap length for taller owners or around UK size 16 and above. The pouch stays the same size. Made to order, so allow 10–12 working days.

The strap isn't adjustable, so choose the length that suits your height.

Good to know

• A sling is a carrying aid rather than a hands-free carrier. Keep a hand supporting your dog's back and body, and don't let their full weight hang unsupported for long.
• For small dogs up to 10kg.
• Ordering for Christmas? Order Standard by 10 December and Petite or Long Strap by 1 December.
• Made and sent direct by Hugo and Ted, a small team in Worcestershire.
