Cable Knit Dog Vest for Whippets and Italian Greyhounds

Whippets and Italian Greyhounds have almost no body fat and very little coat. Plenty of them shiver in a heated living room, which surprises people who have never lived with one.

This cable knit vest is made for exactly that. Soft, light and unrestrictive, it covers the chest and back without the weight of an outdoor coat, so your dog can curl up, stretch out and settle without fighting it.

Why knit rather than fleece

Knit breathes in a way fleece does not. A fleece indoors is often too much and leaves a dog panting. This holds warmth without overheating, which is why it tends to become the layer they wear all day rather than the one you put on at the door.

Fit and care

Cut long in the body with a stretch neck that goes on easily over the head. To size it, measure along the spine from the base of the neck to the base of the tail and match that to the size guide. Hand wash cool and dry flat to keep the knit in shape.
