About the Sports Fan Shop
HardyPaw's Sports Fan Shop brings game day to your pet with officially licensed apparel, toys, and accessories from Pet's First, the largest sports-licensed pet product company in the U.S. Whether you're outfitting a dog for a tailgate or a cat for a couch-side watch party, the collection covers NBA and NCAA team gear built specifically for pets, not resized human merchandise.
What's in the Sports Fan Shop
- Game Day Apparel: Mesh jerseys, tees, and road jerseys in team colors, sized for both dogs and cats.
- Collars, Leashes & Bandanas: Satin collars and leashes, plus tie-around and reversible bandanas for a lower-commitment way to show team spirit.
- Toys: Rope toys, tug toys, and plush toys shaped like game-day food, all carrying team branding.
- Bowls & Feeders: Team-logo slow feeder bowls that double as fan gear and a mealtime tool.
- Caps: Team caps sized for small and medium pets.
Why Shop Here Instead of Just Any Team Gear
- Officially Licensed: Every product carries a genuine NBA or NCAA license rather than an unofficial team-colored design.
- Made for Pets, Not Resized for Them: Sizing, materials, and closures are built around how pets actually wear and play with things.
- One Stop for Game Day: Apparel, toys, and accessories for the same team are grouped together, so outfitting a pet for a specific matchup doesn't mean hunting across categories.
- Fresh Team Selection: Since Pet's First rotates and expands its licensed teams regularly, the shop reflects current NBA and NCAA lineups rather than a fixed, aging catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this the same as the Pet's First brand page?
Ans: The products themselves are the same, since everything in this shop is made by Pet's First. The difference is just how the page is organized: this collection groups items around the game day and fan occasion, while the brand page groups the same catalog under the manufacturer's name. Browse whichever framing makes it easier to find what you're looking for, since both lead to identical products.
Q2: Which teams are available?
Ans: The shop includes NBA teams alongside a range of NCAA college programs, since Pet's First holds licensing agreements with roughly 50 colleges in addition to the NBA. Because the company's licensed lineup is that broad, availability for any specific team varies by product type and season, so it's worth checking each item's team options directly rather than assuming every team appears across the full product range.
Q3: Can I outfit my cat for game day too, or is this mostly for dogs?
Ans: Many items in the shop, including collars, bandanas, and select toys, are designed to fit both cats and dogs comfortably. Apparel like jerseys and tees, on the other hand, tends to run more dog-focused in its sizing and cut. Before ordering something for a cat specifically, check the pet type listed on that product's page to confirm it's designed to fit and be worn safely.
Q4: How do I pick the right size?
Ans: Pet's First apparel and accessories are sized using actual body measurements rather than generic small, medium, or large labels that assume a standard pet shape. Before ordering, check the sizing chart provided on each product page, then measure your pet's neck, chest, or overall length as instructed. This extra step takes a few minutes but meaningfully reduces the chance of ordering something that doesn't fit properly.
Q5: Are these toys safe for heavy chewers?
Ans: Pet's First toys are generally built for normal, everyday play rather than for pets that chew aggressively or destructively. Materials like plush fabric and woven rope can wear down faster under intense chewing than they would with typical use. Supervise your pet during play, and check toys periodically for loose seams, fraying, or small parts that could become a choking hazard if worn through.
Q6: Do these products ship in time for a specific game?
Ans: Orders follow HardyPaw's standard shipping timelines, so it's a good idea to place your order with enough lead time if you're aiming to have gear ready for a particular game or event. This matters even more for less common team, size, or product combinations, which may take slightly longer to process than best-selling, high-availability items already stocked and ready to ship.
