Whippet and Italian Greyhound Christmas Sweater

Whippets and Italian Greyhounds are lean, short-coated dogs that feel the cold, and a sweater is a practical layer for winter walks and holiday photos. This one is made in white acrylic with pom-poms for a festive touch, in a casual style that suits both boys and girls.

Six sizes are offered, from S to 3XL, so it can be matched to a small Italian Greyhound or a larger Whippet. No measurement table is available for this sweater, so measure your dog's chest at its deepest point, its neck and its back length before ordering. Sighthounds have deep chests and narrow waists, so choose the size that fits the chest and check the length against the back.

Acrylic is a warm, easy-care fabric that can pill with wear, and white will show dirt faster than a darker color. Take the sweater off when your dog is resting indoors in a warm room, and check that the pom-poms stay attached since a loose one could be chewed. Wash gently by hand or on a delicate cycle and dry flat.
