Tools for cold dogs

Whippets feel the cold. Check what to put on today, then find the right coat size.

What should your whippet wear today?

Drag to the temperature outside. Whippets have thin coats and little body fat, so Simba dresses for the weather. A rough guide only: watch for shivering.

Find your dog’s coat size

Slide to your dog’s measurements. The outline shows where to measure.

Back lengthChest

Back: from the withers to the base of the tail. Chest: all the way round the deepest part, just behind the front legs.
