Clothes For Your Whippet
Whippet Dog Coat
A whippet dog coat is a must for cold climate homes. Sleek and
trim means speed. And while your whippet may challenge the wind,
the wind will be more than a match for your pet during cold weather.
There is nothing more heart-rending than seeing a shivering whippet.
They are sensitive, delicate creatures and you would wish them
only to shiver in anticipation, not with cold, wouldn't you?
Here are a few things you might wish to consider when making or
buying a whippet dog coat. The list is provided in order of importance,
but if you are making the coat yourself, it might please you to
include all of these suggestions.
You will want to measure correctly for your whippet dog coat. The
best rule is to run a tape measure from the base of your dog's neck
(right at the collar) to the root of the tail, right along the spine. If you
are making this coat, you may wish an inch more if you plan to add
a hood, so that you have some extra material with which to work.
You will want to make sure the whippet dog coat is made of a
water-resistant material on the outside. Since whippets have such
a distinctive curve to their backs, make sure that you make the
coat in two pieces, with a French seam down the center of the back
to smooth out the edges. There is a material called Polartec® Power
Shield, which is highly recommended by Scandinavian pet owners.
This is a new-tech material that breathes, stretches, and is light weight,
besides being waterproof! You might be able to use it instead
of using two layers.
