The Best Waterproof Coats for Whippets

Why do you need a waterproof coat for your Whippets

In the world of well-dressed dogs, few breeds command a wardrobe quite like the Whippet. Their fine, sculpted form deserves attire that doesn’t merely serve a function but enhances their elegant stride. When the skies darken and the drizzle sets in, a well-cut raincoat isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Whippets aren’t built for harsh weather, but that doesn’t mean their adventures have to stop when it rains. The Sightly Whippet Raincoat is designed to keep them dry, warm, and comfortable—all while maintaining a sleek, stylish look. Here’s what makes it the perfect choice:
  • Waterproof & Warm – A lightweight soft waterproof shell keeps your whippet dry, while the soft fleece lining provides warmth without bulk.
  • Tailored Fit – Designed specifically for whippets and sighthounds, ensuring full coverage without excess fabric.
  • Adjustable Fastening – Customisable fit to accommodate different whippet sizes and body shapes.
  • Lightweight & Non-Restrictive – Provides protection without adding bulk, allowing full freedom of movement.
  • Elegant & Timeless Style – Minimalist design with sophisticated colours ensures your whippet looks stylish, even in the rain.

When buying a waterproof coat for Whippet, consider these key factors to ensure comfort, protection, and style:

1. Waterproof & Breathable Material

  • Choose a coat made from a waterproof and windproof fabric to keep your Whippet dry in the rain.
  • Look for breathable materials that prevent overheating while maintaining warmth.

2. Warm but Lightweight Lining

  • A soft fleece or thermal lining adds warmth without bulk, keeping your Whippet cosy in cold weather.

  • Standard dog coats often don’t fit Whippets properly due to their deep chests and slim waists.

  • Adjustable straps, buckles, or Velcro provide a snug yet comfortable fit for different body shapes.
  • A high collar or snood can add extra protection against wind and rain.

  • Avoid bulky designs that might restrict your Whippet’s natural agility.
