Whippet Jumper – Warm Knitted Dog Sweater for Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds & Sighthounds

Whippets, greyhounds, Italian greyhounds, salukis and lurchers feel the cold far more than many other dogs. Their short coats, slim bodies and low body fat mean chilly evenings, draughty homes and colder mornings can quickly leave them shivering, unsettled or unable to fully relax.

This warm knitted sighthound jumper is designed to help cold-sensitive dogs stay cosy, comfortable and settled without the bulky, awkward fit of generic dog clothing.

Handmade in Scotland and tailored specifically for deep-chested breeds, it works beautifully as a soft indoor warmth layer, after-walk jumper or an extra layer during colder weather.

The elegant cable knit design gives a timeless, premium look, while the practical elastic tummy band helps hold warmth closer to the body for added comfort. It also helps reduce the chance of male dogs peeing onto the jumper — a small detail that makes a big difference in everyday use.

Designed Specifically for Sighthounds

Standard dog jumpers are rarely designed for the shape of a whippet or greyhound. Many sit too loose around the stomach, twist during movement or feel restrictive across the chest and shoulders.

This jumper is shaped specifically for:

• deep chests
• slim waists
• curved backs
• fine coats
• sensitive skin
• cold-sensitive breeds

The result is a more comfortable fit that allows your dog to move, curl up and relax naturally.

Perfect For

• whippets who feel cold indoors
• greyhounds needing extra warmth after walks
• Italian greyhounds who shiver easily
• salukis and lurchers with fine coats
• colder evenings at home
• bedtime warmth
• draughty houses
• older dogs
• layering under waterproof coats in winter
• dogs that love curling up warm on the sofa

Sizing & Fit

For the best fit, please measure your dog before ordering.

Back length: from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
Chest circumference: around the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
Neck circumference: around the base of the neck.

The back length is the size you select from the drop-down menu.

A size chart is provided so you can check whether the chest measurement will fit your dog comfortably and allow the jumper to go on and off easily.

If your dog’s chest measurement is larger than the standard chest size listed, simply add your dog’s chest measurement in the personalisation box and your jumper will be custom made for a more comfortable fit.

This is especially helpful for:

• broader-chested whippets
• muscular greyhounds
• dogs between sizes
• dogs with deeper chests than average

Because every jumper is handmade, small fit adjustments can be made to help achieve a better sighthound-specific fit.

Why Sighthound Owners Love It

A cold sighthound often struggles to properly settle. They may curl tightly, seek blankets, shiver during colder evenings or wake during the night because they cannot stay comfortable.

This jumper is designed to help your dog feel warm, secure and relaxed — whether they are resting after a walk, stretching out on the sofa or settling down for the night.

It is not just a dog jumper. It is a comfort layer designed specifically for how sighthounds live and feel.

Handmade Quality

Each jumper is carefully handmade in Scotland by The Whippet Coats with attention to warmth, comfort, fit and practicality.

Designed for owners who want something better than cheap, mass-produced dog clothing, this is a premium sighthound jumper made to keep cold-sensitive dogs warm while still looking beautifully elegant.
