The Whippet Coat

The whippet coat is essential because these small hounds are so sensitive to cold weather.

My whippets don’t mind the cold as long as they have a chance to run at their leisure but if they have to walk at a slow human pace about town or wait for me outside a shop, they do appreciate the comfort of a warm dog coat in a cold, rainy day.

Most generic dog coats will fit my dogs but I find that a specific whippet coats fit and stay better in place on their curvaceous silhouette.

E-Bay is a great source of cheap dog supplies. I listed below auctions in USA and UK for your convenience. To enlarge an image just click on it. To scroll up and down to see more items, click on the arrows at right.

How to Measure the Coat

With the dog standing, using a measuring tape, take the length of your whippet back from the base of the neck (between the dog's shoulders) along the spine, to the root of the tail.

In the pictures below you can see the length to be measured, traced in red as seen from the back and from a the side of the dog.
