Clothing

Greyhounds have light fur, thin skins, and don’t have a lot of body fat. They will certainly feel the cold and if living in cooler temperatures, they will need some clothing.

As with all things associated with pets, there is a wide range of styles, purposes, and materials employed in the supply of Greyhound clothing.

Coats and Jackets

These are usually styled to slip over the neck and cover the entire torso. They can be left open or clipped closed around the midriff.

There is no limit to the style, range, material and occasion for coats. In wet conditions, a raincoat may be appropriate, snow and cold conditions will require thicker, or lined coats.

Tee shirts

Tee shirts have become very popular with Greyhound owners as a lighter option to a coat. They come in various materials, styles, and sizes.

Snoods

Snoods are head-coverings designed to keep your Grey’s ears and head warm.

Footwear

Sometimes the environment or your dog’s condition may necessitate them wearing foot coverings. Extremes of heat or cold, rough terrain or worn footpads may indicate the need for shoes.

Personalisation

Many items of clothing can now be personalized. Velcro strips facilitate the opportunity to declare your hound’s name to the world. Collar tags, collars, harnesses, and leads all provide the opportunity to be ‘blinged up’.
