Dog Clothes for Whippets: Fit Tips for Slim Deep Chested Dogs

Whippets can be tricky to dress because they are slim, deep chested and often sensitive to cold weather. A good dog jacket or light dog T shirt should cover the back without pulling tightly across the chest or sitting too loose around the waist.

Start with back length

Measure from the base of the neck to the start of the tail while your dog is standing naturally. This is the main guide for choosing a Lucky Pup size. If your whippet sits between two sizes, check chest room next so the layer does not restrict stride or shoulder movement.

Check chest comfort

Whippets usually need more chest space than their narrow waist suggests. You should be able to slide two fingers under the fabric when fastened. If the back length looks right but the chest feels tight, size up and use the product photos to choose the neatest shape.

Choose the right layer for the walk

For mild days, a soft dog T shirt gives a little coverage without too much bulk. For cooler mornings or windy walks, a hoodie or jacket is a better choice. For colder weather, browse our dog puffer jacket and dog parka jacket styles for warmer coverage.

Best Lucky Pup routes for whippets

• Shop all dog clothing for tees, hoodies and jackets.
