Sighthound Size Guide

Sighthound Size Guide

Finding the right fit is especially important for Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Greyhounds and other sighthounds.

Because sighthounds have a deep chest, narrow front, slim waist and unique body proportions, standard dog clothing often does not fit them properly. Please measure your dog carefully before ordering.

How to Measure Your Dog

Back Length
Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.

Neck Girth
Measure around the lower part of the neck where the collar usually sits.

Chest Girth
Measure around the widest part of the chest.

Why Sighthounds Need a Special Fit

Sighthounds are different from many other dog breeds. Their chest is deeper, their front is narrower, and their waist is slimmer than standard dog body shapes.

Because of this unique build, clothing for Whippets, Italian Greyhounds and other sighthounds needs to be specially designed for a close but comfortable fit. A proper measurement helps ensure your dog can move naturally and stay comfortable.

Please measure your dog before ordering.

If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
