Whippet Clothes Guide › Gifts for Whippet Owners, by Budget
From Houndz in the Hood, based on the fitting notes of founder Terri Goodwillie, who has made breed-fitted dog clothes in New York City since 1999. Updated October 2026.
Short answer: a fitted Whippet bodysuit is the gift we recommend: Jammies for a cozy dog at home, an Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit for fall and spring, or a winter fleece bodysuit for cold walks. Get the dog’s length, chest and height first, so the size is right.
Under $60
- Rompers ($54): a stretch cotton bodysuit for air-conditioning, trips and sunny days
- Jammies ($56): light, warm micro chamois fleece for sleeping and lounging
$70 to $90
- Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuits ($70): a midweight fleece bodysuit for inside and out, and for travelling, hiking and camping
- Heavy Fleece Bodysuits ($84): a thick, warm bodysuit for cold, windy winter walks
- Heavy Fleece Hooded Bodysuits ($90): winter warmth with a sewn-in hood
- Windblock Fleece Bodysuits ($90): wind-blocking and water-repellent, for winters into the 20s
The big gift: $95 to $105
- Windblock Fleece Hooded Bodysuits ($95): head-to-toe cover for 32°F to 20°F
- Extra Heavy Fleece Hooded Bodysuits ($95): very thick velour fleece for below 35°F
- Extra Heavy Windblock Bodysuits ($95): Extra Heavy Windblock fleece without a hood
- Extra Heavy Windblock Fleece Hooded Bodysuits ($105): for strong wind and snow, 25°F down to 10°F
Which one for which owner?
- Lives somewhere with real winters: a Heavy Fleece or Windblock bodysuit for walks.
- Lives somewhere mild, or travels a lot: the Indoor/Outdoor Bodysuit, which works inside and out.
- Lives somewhere hot, or keeps the air-conditioning on: a Romper.
- Has a Whippet that loves the couch: Jammies.
- Walks in wind and snow every day: a hooded Windblock or Extra Heavy bodysuit.
Little extras to add
If you want to add a second piece, Lightweight Shirts ($40), Heavyweight Sweatshirts ($40) and Heavy Fleece Sweaters ($55) are nice extras for the house. As the main gift, though, a bodysuit is the better choice, because it covers the chest, belly and all four legs.
Orders of $125 or more ship free in the US, so pairing a bodysuit with a second piece often makes sense.
Getting the size right for someone else’s dog
- Ask the owner for the dog’s length, chest girth and height (see how to measure), and the age if the dog is under 13 months.
- Write the measurements in the comments section of your order, or send them to us first and we’ll recommend a size.
- If the size isn’t right, we re-ship size exchanges of up to 2 garments free within the US. Returns are accepted within 14 days by mail.
Shipping a gift
Orders ship within 48 hours by insured USPS Ground Advantage, and US shipping is free on orders of $125 or more, which a winter bodysuit plus a pair of Jammies reaches. NYC pick-up is available, and we ship internationally; see checkout.
