What MOQ Means
MOQ is the minimum order quantity a supplier accepts. It can apply per style, per color, per order or to all three. Always ask which one a supplier means.
A low MOQ lets you test more styles with less cash. A higher MOQ usually means a lower unit price or a custom product.
Our Minimum Order Quantities
In-stock orders start at 2 pcs per style and 50 pcs per order; custom and private label minimums are higher.

| Custom styles | 100 pcs per style and color | Sample in 7–10 days, bulk in 25–35 days |
AI illustrationThe in-stock minimum lets you order a few pieces of many styles. Each style needs at least the per-style minimum, and the whole order needs to reach the per-order minimum.
How Mixing Works
You can mix styles, colors and sizes in one in-stock order. For example, 50 pieces can cover several styles in a small, medium and large spread. Stock changes by size and color, so we confirm each line when we quote.
Custom styles work differently. The custom minimum applies per style and color. Sizes can be mixed within that quantity.
Planning a First Order
Start with the styles that fit your shop or brand best. Pick a few core styles and a few test styles. Order more of the core styles and fewer of the test styles.
AI illustrationBase the size mix on the dogs your customers own. Small and toy breeds are common for sweaters, so many buyers order more small sizes. Our sizing guide explains how to plan sizes.
Reordering Styles That Sell
When a style sells well, reorder it before it runs out. Quantities within current stock ship in the normal window. Quantities above stock take 10–15 days.
If you want your own version of a good seller, move it to a custom order. You can change the colors, the fit or the labels.
How to Send an Order
List the style codes, colors, sizes and quantities. Each style card in the in-stock range has an “Ask about this style” button that adds the code to the form. See how ordering works for the steps after the quote.
