Our Fleece Jumper for Whippets is loved by whippets and their owners worldwide. It will keep your whippet happy and warm, giving plenty of comfort whether walking or running around.
Being a close fitting item it can be a little fiddly to put on - depending how wriggly your hound is! We advise putting the head into the funnel neck, lifting in one leg, then get your hand inside from the back to stretch out the elastic to ease the second leg in, roll it along the chest and into the tummy. To take off pull the jumper up to behind the front legs, pull off over the head and your dog will step out if the leg holes.
It will keep your dog dry on a drizzly walks, and protect tummies from some splash back when it’s muddy - you can throw it in the wash on a short 30 degree cycle and have it dry in time for the next walk!
If you are looking for a washable jumper that is perfect for cold walks, running around or snoozing in this is the one. Who doesn’t love an easy-care item that can be washed, dried and worn in the same day?!
Both George & Winnie loves to run around getting wet and muddy, enjoying a roll in piles of smelly stuff, and their fleece jumpers are the most used items in the wardrobe! Better to have the mud on the jumper than the dog!
Available in 5 sizes, Italian Greyhound, Whippet – small, smedium, medium and large, it is designed to fit the shape of their bodies, with an under panel that has an elasticated facing so that it can be stretched to go over their deep chests but then fits snugly into their slim tummies, avoiding any nasty chills getting in!
The long polo neck, when folded back is super thick to keep long slender necks cosy. When unfolded there is plenty to pull over cold ears!
